9 Weeks To Go. Counting Down the Days to Robin’s First Born Child

By Stephanie - 4 min read

We’ve always seen the EyeEm community as an extended family and enjoy celebrating big milestones in a member’s life. Robin Pope from London has been one of our earliest members and, as the due date was getting closer and closer, got creative with a little photo project.

We’ve always seen the EyeEm community as an extended family and enjoy celebrating big milestones in a member’s life. Robin Pope from London has been one of our earliest members and we couldn’t be happier for him upon the arrival of his first son just a few weeks ago.

Those of you who are parents know that the closer the due date comes, the more nervous and exciting you get. So Robin got creative and started a little project:

I had no initial plan to start my count down project. Not the most exciting of stories but I bought a pack of bright socks in the same day I purchase socks for our unborn child. It was only when I got home I thought it would make a nice picture and titled it 9 weeks to go which meant I need to carry this on.

The result is a beautiful little photo series showing the big and small things in the life of a father and his future son. Let’s jump right into it:
