This is a new and interesting era. Time was, when babies were born they had to wait for a man to come around with a bit clumsy camera and some flash powder. They had to hold the baby still for some time and then they had a fragile picture of the babe. Then there was a brownie camera that took a really fuzzy and dark picture. Then we moved on to better cameras and they were in color. It was exciting when polaroids came along and we could have pictures almost instantly. It was spectacular when the new digital cameras came along and we could see what we had as soon as the picture was snapped. If you didn't like it, 'delete' it was gone and you could keep taking pictures until you ended up with a great picture. It could then be put on a computer and sent around the world to family and friends. So we became aquainted with babies as soon as they were born. But now.....at just a few months old in the womb, we have access to fabulous pictures of the baby. You can see all their body parts and watch them move. They yawn, scratch, stretch, talk, flex muscles, wiggle, turn and hide. Incredible!!! If you know what you are looking for, you can almost see what it will look like. I am told that at the last month you can have a 3d picture made that makes you think you can pick them up and hold them.
But what we cannot see, is the soul and personality of that baby. That is the only secret left. It is truly a miracle and the technology is also miraculous. But the real excitement begins when that child takes it's first breath outside the womb and begins it's journey through this world. What an awesome responsibility for parents, family, friends and strangers. May God bless and protect this Baby Kramer in my life and make her know that she is loved the moment she arrives. May she know she is loved even now. Many people are waiting for her to arrive and begin to live this life. Much is expected for her and much will be expected for her. May she be strong enough to be her own woman and sweet enough to care for those who love and support her. May God grant her joy and happiness and give her boundless grace all the days of her life. Her Great Grandmother. She can call me Rosella and be my friend.
