ST. CHARLES LIFESTYLE NEWBORN SESSION: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: ELLE

I'm currently awaiting the news of my niece (my flower girl) who is due to give birth, well, yesterday! So any moment now, we'll get the text that it's time! And we cannot wait! There's such excitement (and of course some nerves) in anticipation when expecting. I don't think that goes away when it's your second, it's just different. It's less about is my bag ready, where do we go? When do we go? And more about, I've loved one child with all my heart, is there room for two? The answer is no. There isn't room. Your love will double and just utterly overflow, and it'll leak outta your eyes to form the happiest of tears. It's not easy (though honestly Gail, you make it look like it is!) but it is so so worth it.
