A Tearful Reunion



When we were pregnant, Matthew and I attended Birth Preparation Classes for several weeks at the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. The last class was to be a reunion with our little darlings. So, last Friday, off we went to meet up with everybody who we had shared this life changing journey with.

At the previous class, photographs had been taken of all the 'mums' and 'dads' in a line, in order of due date, so, the idea was to line up all the babies and take their photographs, in order of birth dates. All was going well, we met each others bundle, shared a potluck dinner and exchanged birth experiences, then it was time for the photograph. Let's just say one little bundle wasn't happy at all and just screamed, it just so happens that he was next to Amelia so you can guess what happened, she started crying too, before we knew what was happening almost all of the babies that had been propped up against each other were crying. Below are some of photo's of Amelia, showing her not so happy "get me out of here" side. Kind of cute all the same!

It was all going so well in the beginning,
happy, proud parents and cute, adorable babies...

But then...oh dear,
Brandon looks on wondering what the fuss is all about.

It's all too much, he joins in too...

Here are nine out of the twelve little bundles...

And a photo showing the other three...

At the end of the reunion..

"Just take me home, I'm ready for bed!"
