Did you hear me??? THE BIRTH OF HER BABY Which (so she tells me) will actually involve me being inside the room where a baby is being born.
So here goes
- there will be blood
- there will be other stuff I don't care to mention
- there will be lots of people there
- I really wont be able to say "Hang on a tick I will just change lens (note to self not to mention a wide angle lens)
- I have never been in a delivery room in my life - and that scares and excites me.
I am excited to do this - I was once given the opportunity to be at the birth of my friends third child. I turned it down. That was 8 years ago. I actually got right to the night before convincing myself I could do it but I knew that I wasn't actually worried about the birth bit it was the fact that at the end she would have a baby in her arms - and I didn't. I do regret not going as little did we know I would be holding my baby only a few months later (through adoption)
I am older and wiser now (ha ha) and have my 2 children so that feeling is long gone.
I hope it all works out that I can do this...will have to wait and see.
Checked out this amazing site for beautiful birth photos

Wow - that sounds like a neat project. Best of luck to you...I know I'd be nervous and excited all at the same time.
Wow, that sounds interesting! Yeah there isn't any take 2 :)
That sounds like such an incredible honour...and what an experience!
Thanks for your kind comment at my place...about IKEA...they're huge, internationally...originally a from Sweden. Apparently they've been trying desperatedly to open stores in NZ, but for whatever reasons, have been 'shot down'. I found these links if you want to read about it: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU1007/S00338.htm

Apparently there's a facebook page for NZ folk calling for IKEA, as well :D
Wow, that's exciting! What an important task to take pictures of a birth! I'm sure you'll do fine, just don't eat right before :D
