Pregnancy quotes
© Copyright Ada Kanu 2009
I begin to love this creature,
and to anticipate her birth
as a fresh twist to a knot,
which I do not wish to untie.
~ Mary Wollstonecraft
I gained 80 pounds for my pregnancy so this is like my coming out party.
~ Cindy Margolis
Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch.
~ E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web
Life is magic, the way nature works seems to be quite magical.
~ Jonas Salk
Making a decision to have a child–it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
~ Elizabeth Stone
Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.
~ Ruth Morgan
The most important thing she’d learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.
~ Jill Churchill
There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can’t get it.
~ Irena Chalmers
Think of stretch marks as pregnancy service stripes.
~ Joyce Armor
What’s that on the telly?
It’s an angel sent from God…
Growing in my belly…
Like a sweet pea in a pod!
~ Melissa Hatcher
A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart till the day you die.
~ Mary Mason
A grand adventure is about to begin.
~ Winnie the Pooh
A great joy is coming.
~ Author Unknown
A mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside… when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.
~ Author Unknown
All the time we wondered and wondered, who is this person coming/growing/turning/floating/swimming deep, deep inside.
~ Crescent Dragonwagon
Before you were born I carried you under my heart. From the moment you arrived in this world until the moment I leave it, I will always carry you in my heart.
~ Mandy Harrison
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of Mother’s Love.
~ Maureen Hawkins
Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder, and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be.
~ Carrie Fisher
Feeling fat last nine months but the joy of becoming a mom lasts forever.
~ Nikki Dalton

© Copyright Ada Kanu 2009
* Remember to get down to baby’s level, while some poses look great from above (baby swaddled, trying to crawl), for those candid face shots, being at eye level gives a more realistic look.
* I’ve found that simple is often best, background that is. When you look at most of the professional shots of celebrities, it is often against a simple background, the ultimate goal is to capture the memory of baby, a fancy background would only detract from this.
* The early moments of life are moments once they are gone, you can never capture again, so be sure to take pictures of all those moments, happy, sad, fussy, sleepy, serve as pleasant memories which might otherwise have been forgotten.
* Treat your baby like the star he/she is, move in for that close up and capture those candid moments of innocence.
* And finally, take, take and take as many pictures as you can, baby will only be this little once, make the most of this time when they are much more sleepy, and not squirming away from the eager shutterbug.

© Copyright Ada Kanu 2009
Pictures tell a story of events past, so that in the future, we can look back at those memories and reminisce about those memories.
Your scrapbook serves as a record through journaling telling the story and memories in each photo.
In that light, approach scrapbooking thus; scrapbook as being the author of your own biography, to be enjoyed and pored over by others through the years.
