Lucas Phillip | The Birth

This is the story of Baby Lucas and his entry into the world, told through photographs. THIS. RIGHT. HERE. is what photography is about. A story. A feeling. A moment in time that you will never get back. I was induced to have my wee baby boy on Friday. I will try hard to leave the story to be told without my words as much as I can (forgive me in advance..... I am one proud mama and its hard not to talk about it). The wait...... ......the joy. For those of you who know me, know that we waited a long time for Elyse and an even LONGER time for #2. We prayed for a sibling for Elyse every day. When our prayers were finally answered, we could not have been happier. Well, until the anxiety set in. HOW could I love another child like I loved E. How could he ever compare to her. How. And then he was born. And my heart doubled. ....the world welcomes you Lucas.... One proud dad..... And I could not be more in love with him than I am right now. Lucas, meet big sister. She already loves you more than you could guess. Do you see anything missing from this photo? A name maybe? ...still deciding on that name. Baby did not look like any of the names I kind of had in mind. Until I said Lucas. My heart fluttered. Phil looked up the meaning and it said "Bringer of Light". I sobbed. Yes, bringer of light he was. And so he became Lucas. Big Sister even got to spend the night one night in the hospital. Note the jammies :) She loves him. Just a little ;) And off we go to introduce you to the world.
