PREGNANCY SHOOT
Pregnancy shoot “In pregnancy, there are two bodies, one inside the other. Two people live under one skin. When so much of life is dedicated to maintaining our integrity as distinct beings, this bodily tandem is an uncanny fact. “
Being pregnant means every day is another day closer to meeting the other love of my life.
“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.”
A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years, and in your heart until the day you die.”
“Making the decision to have a child – it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
“It’s a really magical time, those first few weeks. It almost makes you wish you didn’t have to tell anyone, ever. You could just watch your belly grow bigger, and no one would be allowed to ask you about it, and you would have your baby and a year later you would allow visitors to finally come and meet your little miracle.”
“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.”
