Maternity Photos DIY

James and I went out tonight to take some DIY maternity photos. I really just wanted a few pictures of me and a few with the two of us. I think they turned out great! My husband is a wonderful photographer, even if he doesn't believe it when I tell him that. :) Also, tripods and self timers are wonderful inventions! And at least now I have a little photographic proof that I carried this baby girl...

More Baby News

This is just a quick update - I need to post some belly pictures and pictures from the baby showers that have been very generously thrown for us! Those pictures, however, are still sitting in my camera.. and I haven't even taken any legitimate belly pictures yet. Yikes! It is on the list of things to do this week!

Little miss seems to be growing just fine! I am ALL belly and she definitely makes her presence known! My favorite thing right now is how much she already loves her daddy. When he gets home from work, he will lay his head on my belly and talk to her, and as soon as she hears his voice she goes CRAZY! She will kick and flip and turn and knead her hands along his head. It is so funny! She is one smart cookie already.. although I may be a bit biased. ;)

She does not treat her mommy that nicely though - we have been in the hospital for preterm labor once recently and now we are having to keep a close eye on some other things. I am definitely to the "uncomfortable" stage of pregnancy! I am ready for baby girl to make her grand appearance!
