I have been horrible at keeping this blog up- I guess I don't realize that our clients actually read it! We keep a personal blog for our family and friends, and I guess sometimes this one just gets neglected. Today I had 6 emails from clients, and they all mentioned something from this blog. So I will try to be better at posting! :)

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Where to start......One of my photographer friends has recently become involved with an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/. Photographers volunteer their services to families who have a baby that is either stillborn or on life support, or passes away during/ after birth. I wasn't sure how involved I could be with this organization, but it seems to keep coming in to my path and I feel like the Lord has put it there for a reason. So I submitted Rob and I to become one of their photographers and we have been approved. I want to give back- to give to a family the only pictures they may have of their child. I went to the website and started reading, and it just really puts life in to perspective. Many of the babies are born with chromosomal problems, and the parents knew from week 20 that the baby would not make it past birth. But a few have cord issues like the cord cutting off oxygen to the baby during birth. And it makes me realize just how close we were with Landon- how blessed we are that he made it. We are the same as some of those family. A healthy pregnancy. A normal labor. Then the silence in the delivery room. The blue baby. No breathes, no cries. But by a miracle he came back to us. I now know how serious it could have been.
If you know of someone who could benefit from this service, please contact me or ask your hospital about this amazing organization.
