Mommy to Mommy - Sabrina Permuth

Matt keeps asking me what are the positives of parenthood?  As I tell him about all of the magazine articles detailing what to expect and all the sleepless nights... it is no wonder he feels that way now.  The thing is I can't put into words the feeling that comes from being a parent.  I never knew what love was until I fell in love with my son ten and half years ago... I have to tell you... I never could have loved Matt the way I do now if I hadn't first experienced the love between a mother and a child.

I stopped trying to explain to him what the positives of parenthood are because I know if just a few weeks he is going to discover them for himself.  The irony of parenthood is... yes it is the most difficult challenge anyone ever faces.  But we all keep doing it... because beyond words... parenthood is the most selflessly rewarding experience.  We get to experience innocence again.  I get to look into my eyes starring back at me or maybe it will be my smile or who knows that silly little expression I get when something strikes me just the right way and I get lost in the moment.  Children are amazing because they are like doorways into our own soles... but still different because TWO people came together to make them.

I am so excited about my daughters arrival... I can't wait to photograph her and freeze some of those first few magically moments right where they are.  I will always have them in my heart but boy... it sure is nice to have the actual paper (or digital image these days) to go back to... because it doesn't just bring back that one moment, but all the moments that lead up to it and surround it.  Everytime I look at our wedding pictures I get a different story... you are incredible!  I can't wait to do it all again with Sydney!!!

From one dreamer to the next... talk to you again soon.
