. . . is so memorable to me. I am thankful to the friends and family members who were present. They were as nervous, excited and happy as me. They were all so supportive and understanding. I never felt alone. The pain and the contractions were diverted from time to time.
Everything went so fast. And so before the sun comes up, my daughter is by my side. My family and friends were so happy that they took photos and am so fortunate that they remembered to take our first family photo. I would treasure this forever.
Do you have the same? My mom has lost our family photo due to storm. Typhoons destroyed most of our memorable photos.
I am sharing my newest family photo with you my friends. Hope you like it.

Hi lea!
This is a very cute family picture. It is really good to keep such pictures because of the memory it has in it. We are lucky nowadays that we can save those pictures and we can have it printed anytime. You can also save pictures online and you will have a fear of losing it.
Take enough rest.
Have a great day and congratulations for a beautiful daughter!

this discussion brings to my mind memorable years with my family. almost every year we had our family photo to keep the family bonding alive through the years. when we lost our father in 2009, we seldom have photo sessions because those will remind my mother and the rest about our loss. but the pictures of those years when he was still here are very vivid and fresh to our mind.

Family is very improtant entity of the society. I have almost the same experience with you but I have lost my brother and father so soon that we rarely had photos taken then. Only my mom and I were left. But time heals all wounds. And now, my mom and I love to take photos and we share the happy memories of what was left to us.

Hi,
It is very sweet photo. Now you can take photo of your baby at every stage of her movement, crawling, standing, walking, laughing, crying and so on. It is very beautiful experience of taking photograph of cute baby. I also have many photographs with my family, my parents, grandparents, wedding albums of my sisters and me. My childhood photos, my son's photos when he was baby. He is now 24 years old. We have kept all the photos carefully. It is very wonderful experience and recall our memories while watching these photos.

Thank you so much. I am really happy for having this. I am also glad for the new technologies we have now. The digital cameras that doesn't limit how many pictures I would take. When I was young, we use the rolled films and the hsots need to be perfect or else it will be a waste. But now, you can take as many as you want. I am glad you have saved all your photos. I will satrt one for my daughter, so she has something to look at when she becomes older.

My mom and dad lost some family photos also when we moved from the province to the city. I lost my favorite childhood album in one of my summer visits to the province. I could still remember some photos...the evidences of my 'dancing' days, the weekly visits to the beach with friends, the island where we came from. All just in my memory :)
Treasure those photos now, print and frame it if you can. When your baby get older, she'll definitely appreciate the joyful faces you had when she was born! :)

That's too bad.
I will have some printed and compiled in an album. I sent copies to Tita Terry and she has them printed and laminated some. I think I am even over-reacting to taking pictures ... almost everyday.

First of all big congrats to you!
I just watched your first family photo and I am very happy. You look like very beautiful family and I bet you are there are no doubts. Also sad to hear about your mom and family photos which was destroyed in storms.
I have great album where I am very little, maybe about two or one year old. And this photos are very expensive to my heart. I also have nice family photos. Hmm I almost cried when I watched to them now.

I saw you photo and you and your husband seemed so happy!
Having a child can really be an important occasion in one's married life. So, take a snapshot of it, because when you see it many years after, it will refresh the nice feelings you felt during that time.

Yup, you are right. I will do my best to take more photos and keep it so my daughter can still see and enjoy them when she grows up. Indeed, it is a great feeling.
