These are my girls. Kayla on top, Livia below. My dad took this picture of Livia in the hospital and at first it made me feel kind of uncomfortable. I realized it reminded me too much of this photo of Kayla. The hat, the black-and-white, a similar pose. Eyes closed. I haven't taken any black and white photos of Livia at all. They remind me of stillbirth I guess. But I love seeing both of my girls together like this, the only place they can exist together.
I love this...I really do! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThey both are beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove to your girls xo
Sometimes seeing newborn photos of babies sleeping reminds me of Andrew stillborn. I had a really hard time when B slept so soundly in the beginning. We, countless times, had to go and wake him up because it terrified us.
ReplyDeleteI've stopped the car in fear over it, too. :/
Your girls are just beautiful.
Your girls are breathtakingly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have what I call "sad pictures." Sounds silly, but my husband always knows what I mean...they're pictures of living babies that remind me of our pictures of Caroline. I've even seen one in a photo frame at a store; something about the pose, the lighting, the overall feeling of the picture. I think its normal to see things that way after what we've lived through.
I can completely understand why that photo would have initially made you uncomfortable. But I bet as time goes on, you'll love it to be able to reflect on how much sweet Livia looks like her big sis Kayla! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteI have pictures of Caroline that look so much like Eliza it kind of freaks me out, too. I remember realizing when Caro slept so soundly that some of the way Eliza looked was just because she was a newborn and not because she was dead, and that made me sad that I hadn't known it at the time. Your girls are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the previous posts. Your girls are beautiful and I am the same way about pictures and stillness/sleeping pictures of V. Thank you for sharing both your girls with us.
ReplyDeleteUgh- black and white photos make me think the same thing. They're beautiful, but they scare me. I mentioned this to my mom when we were reviewing photos and she looked at me like I was crazy... black and white photos... yup.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are both so beautiful.
