Over the last 18 months now I’ve been putting together a series of photo books with Blurb and titled Vita Una, or “Life in One” in Latin. The first volume covered the first four years between 2004 and 2008 of our being together (blogged here), and the second volume of our Bali trip.
I’ve been meaning to put together the third volume since June this year, and it’s intended to cover the most significant event since the Bali trip: pregnancy, delivery and Hannah’s first four months. The photo hard drive has 531 pictures, selected from the probably two or three times more that number of actual frames captured of Hannah’s journey in the last 12 months.
This new volume is a little different from the first two though. Firstly, I’ve selected about 70 of the Baby Blues blog posts here and am adding it to the book. What better way for Hannah to read of her history one day than to read the actual posts we wrote of her? Secondly, the pictures will be supplemented by more text that’s addressed to her as Daddy and Mummy.
At this point now I’ve completed work on the first 135 of the intended 160 page length of the volume, and it’s been a fun ride recollecting many of the memories, observations and thoughts going through our minds of Hannah from her conception to pregnancy to delivery and to her first three and a half months so far. Hannah will be four months old in 2 weeks, so there should be enough material in both pictures and blog posts for the last 25 pages of the volume.
