Ministry So Fabulous! » The ovaries, they will not silence themselves.

The ovaries, they will not silence themselves.

Once upon a time, a lovely girl named Hannah began volunteering with Starlite. Soon, she was engaged to the love of her life — a guy who was actually also a Starlite volunteer (it’s a long story — but we do have male volunteers for certain aspects of the ministry).

Hannah and her husband welcomed their first baby a few days ago and were sweet enough to have me take some photos for them yesterday afternoon. It was my first time to meet little Kaden and he did not disappoint. He’s only five days old (!), so naturally, he spent more time in my arms than in front of my lens.

I spent the rest of our time together saying things like “Baby. I need a baby. I really, really need a baby. I need a husband first, but baby? I need a baby. I’m sorry, is anyone listening? I NEED A BABY.”

Take one look at this precious little thing and tell me I do not need a baby:

I TOLD YOU SO.

We even got 15 seconds of me gushing over this baby, if you’re so inclined to hear the desperation in my voice:

Oh, and that other noise you hear in the background? No worries. It’s just my ovaries crying out for BABY, I NEED A BABY.

Edited To Add: Yep, that’s an ad you see on the right side of the screen as well as a new, lighter colored background in the middle. A few more changes over the next couple of days, so you’ll have to be patient as we get things situated. I know ya’ll may not like ads, but somebody has got to start buying diapers (not to mention the processed nacho cheese). Plus, you know, volumizing hairspray. Just the necessities in life.

Aw. Great pictures! I got to photograph my friends’ one month old today!

What do you have him propped up in – in the photos with the brown blankey?

Also – well then it’s a very good thing you are getting a brand new bouncing baby boy in your house in less than a month!!

OH HOW PRECIOUS! I want him. Honestly. I do. My ovaries are joining the song, my friend.

BABY! NOW!

Heaven all bottled up in his little self. And his name. I love it.

My youngest is 15, and this makes my ovaries make a noise. Although it might be a groan in my case.

Beautiful pics, AB. You are multitalented!

You are such an amazing photographer. I think somebody might need to fly to South Korea sometime in Mid-May. Eh?

He is precious! If I end up with a 4th boy…I will totally blame you and this post.

Great pictures, AB! Nothing like a brand new, still-between-two-worlds sweet baby to get the estrogen flowing – even over the internet!

FABULOUS pictures. The very first one is my favorite…love those squishy rolls! I like the new format, too. And I don’t mind the ads.

What an adorable child. We’ve pretty much run out of adjectives to describe the cuteness of this baby!

And, I don’t mind the ads at all. And (pardon my newbie lack of knowledge) does it help if we click on the ads?
