I was so hoping to be at this little girl’s birth. When her mom and I talked about it, I knew I was scheduled for vacation a couple days after she would hit week 42. However this was her second child and what was the chance of her lasting past week 42?  Well, I guess the chance was good because that is actually what happened. So rather than birth pictures, I got to meet baby Philomena, a.k.a Poppy, a little over a week after she was born to do newborn pictures.
