That really depends on the mom and the pregnancy. However I get your point. Because the following 18 years are not peaceful to say the least. Nice lighting in this shot. Do you know, is it a boy or a girl?

Excellent use of HDR, the composition is maybe not that exciting,
but the colors make up for that.

Fairly sure this is not a multiple exposure HDR, (Set up a tripod in the car and stopped it at the top of the climb?) but the effect works well, regardless of how it was accomplished.
