I was very nervous about making this layout. This is my very first layout of my new baby girl Sofia, and she has taken her time to get here. The photo I have used here is not very clear, but it is SO important to me. I took this photo of Sofia and I, in the middle of the night just hours after she was born while my husband was asleep and not a sound could be heard around the maternity ward.

The journalling is lyrics from the song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. While trying to conceive her and while trying to stay strong through many tough days before and during my pregnancy, I listened to this song almost daily... its words spoke very much of what I was going through. I knew that when it came time to create my first layout for my new baby, this was the title I would use and the journalling I would use. To me, it feels as though I was dying each day I was waiting for a baby, and that indeed a part of me will never be the same ...

Now here is my second project. This is a mini book for my newborn, where I have already started to record precious moments.
