My reflection in the mirror.

pregnancy bump maxwell maggie whitley

Since becoming a mama I’ve come to notice my reflection in mirrors when I walk past with Maxwell in my arms. It’s been a sweet way to see myself with him, but from a different perspective. The other day I was inside a fancy baby boutique with my brother (yahoo, he’s visiting all week from Michigan!), and as we were wandering the store I caught my reflection in the mirror. But this time I couldn’t help but notice both of my babies. At 24 weeks pregnant my body is becoming more and more fulfilled with a second life. It’s a magical feeling; a wonderful view. I’m so, so glad I stopped to capture this little moment in time.

PS. my brother’s surprise visit last summer — he’s making a good habit of surprising me, which I LOVE!

    :) That is adorable. It’s funny when these things hit us. I love when I’m just sitting on the floor and I get that overwhelming sense of accomplishment and love from having my boys happy and healthy around me.

    What a sweet sweet photo, of you with both of your babies! It’s easy to miss those small moments when we’re so busy, but when we take just a second to slow down and enjoy them, wow — what a blessing! Enjoy your day :)
