We had a warm late afternoon at Roger Williams Park for our session..and I think we caught the last of the blooms on the wondrous weeping tree in the botanical garden!
The project continues with this miraculous story:
“Early in the morning of August 19th, 2011, nothing was going to stop Samuel Richard Bell from entering the world. Unfortunately, his umbilical cord almost got in the way. Luckily it did not, thanks to the amazing, miracle-working doctors and nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, who dropped everything to perform an emergency c-section. They had him out within minutes. Since August 19th was just over 11 weeks before his due date, Sam, at 3lbs 1oz, was considered a high-risk preemie. He would spend his first 9½ weeks of life in the NICU, where he charmed all the nurses as he grew to be was one of the biggest babies there (7lbs!). He has thrived since then, gaining almost 10 more pounds in the months he’s been home, and just got his doctor’s approval to get out into the world, as his lungs and immune system seem to be developing normally. He’s been a very happy and healthy baby, for which we are extremely grateful. We are excited to celebrate with some beautiful pictures by Michelle! “
