Four and a half years later, my husband and I await the arrival of our third daughter. We are so excited, so eager to meet her. Like her sisters, our daughter will be born via cesarean due to her position, a transverse lie, and I have given up hope of ever experiencing labor and childbirth. This time, however, I have decided to create in my mind a warm, welcoming environment for her birth. To do so I have asked some incredible writers and bloggers to help me by writing guest posts for my blog about newborns and senses.
So to begin this series I welcome Northwest Mommy Stasha of The Good Life!
Stasha's blog, her photography, and her comments continue to amaze me. She makes me think about the natural wonders in life and how much I appreciate them. I am so grateful to host her here today on her famous Monday Listicle Day!
So please enjoy this first Newborn Sense today: the sense of sight!

Today I will share with you my passion- photography. Those magical moments captured for eternity by us. Images that can tell a story of a thousand words. Visual art.
We are here to celebrate a baby girl joining this world. I am sure I speak for all when I say we cannot wait to hear the happy news and see her photographs.
In the mean time let us bring the Listicles to the Kim's Book Nook . All I ask this week is to share 10 of your favorite photos. It does not matter if you took them, saw them or posed for them. If they are old or new. If you want to say something about them or not. Just share. Because when Kim returns I hope her screen is filled with happy images to say: here is our gift to you and your little miracle.
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!

Great pictures, Stasha!
Sorry I didn't have time to do the photo list - it's a great topic!
Sending you good wishes, Kim.
And Stasha - those photos just blew me away (especially the mother and child outside the car window in the rain). Wow.
I love all of the photos, Stasha! What a meaningful gift for Kim. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it! :) PS. I was naughty this week...
Wishing you a wonderful return home with your new baby! *Hugs*
Love you photo-take of Listicles this week!

These are stunning as always, Stasha and seriously such a lovely gift!

Can't wait to meet your 3rd daughter Kim! Hope you have a safe delivery.
Stasha, it is so lovely of you to make a gift of wonderful pictures for Kim. Love the ones you picked!
Such beautiful photos! The one of a mother and her child looking into a car window in the rain is so powerful. Congratulations and good luck this week!

Stasha- these pictures made me a little weepy. Lovely.
Congratulations Kim! I'm so thinking of you and your family.
Stasha- I think this is far better then a cassarole!
I will be holding you in my prayers! Your pictures are lovely!
Good luck and prayers of a safe and speedy delivery and recovery! You will be thought about by hundreds of mommas all around.
Well I feel like a heel now! I felt like I had already share a bunch of photos for listicles so I didn't want to be repetitive and thought of doing a Christmas wish list...and then Stasha gets all sappy AND says that's the topic for next week. I'm sorry!
So happy for the new baby coming! I hope you have a wonderful time getting to know your new bundle!
Gorgeous pictures! Good luck this week. I love newborns, they are so incredibly yummy!
every picture is perfect! Can't wait to meet your baby girl -- sure we will be treated to more photo perfection!
Thinking of you and your baby girl! Congrats!
Kim - sending all good thoughts! And Stasha, how incredibly sweet and what a wonderful gift!
Good luck mama!!
Good luck! I will be thinking about you! I love all of those pictures! The first one had me in tears for some reason. Must be hormones!
Hoping all goes well for you, Kim! Three is pretty awesome :)
Love those mommy-baby photos, Stasha!
Stasha, as always, your images and thoughtfulness shine through the internet right into my house, so thank you. And Kim, best wishes for the new babe...
I was there just 4 months ago! Definitely will be thinking of you all week. Be strong!
Best of luck, Kim! I too had two c-sections so I understand the feeling of sadness of never experiencing labor and childbirth; but those first moments - the moments when you first lay eyes on that sweet little face... the sadness goes away and nothing else maters!
Stasha -- Powerful photos! Simply awesome! :)
Kim, assuming you haven't delivered yet; may God bless you with a peaceful and safe birth experience. I'll be looking out for your post and pictures!
I had three c-sections, too. It was a little bit of a burden to have to explain my feelings about it for a while, but eventually, it was no big deal. If you want to read a post of mine titled "Vaginal vs. C-section" you can link to it at http://www.btdas.blogspot.com/2009/09/vaginal-vs-c-section.html
The comments from the readers reveal heartfelt thoughts about different birth experiences.
I enjoyed the pictures Stasha!
A great idea. A baby shower of photos. I love it. Good luck Kim.
I love the photos you found Stasha.
