Prego Photo Shoot (38 weeks)

We had the biggest blessing. Our next door neighbor is a professional photographer and she called me up one day and asked if we would like her to do some maternity pictures for us...for free! Of course!! I was 38 + weeks in these pictures. We wanted to do them sooner before I was so big, but the weather didn't really let us. Susan (the photographer) was incredible. I definitely was extremely exhausted, I think that is why I was squinting in the majority of these pictures. I LOVE these pictures though, because some how she captured a "natural" Ryan. I think these are the best pictures ever of him. He kept saying through out the shoot, "Wow, this is just making me more and more excited for Claire to get here!" I love that man :)



I think it was so neat how she was able to paste the ultra sound picture there! So cool!



I do NOT like how I look in this picture, but the first time I saw this pic, I started crying because that look on Ryan's face is his special look for me. I can't believe she captured it! He is just so excited to have this baby and you can tell that.
Ry insisted on kissing my belly...I felt awkward, but he got his way.








Susan put some extra special time into the above picture! I just love it! It gives me the chills. I canNOT wait til she is here!!!!! I love her so much already :)












Ha, this picture makes me laugh because Ryan insisted on picking me up for a picture. I almost refused because I didn't want to hurt him. I think he just wanted to prove how strong he is ;)

Ryan and His Grils

I know I have said this before, but Ryan just has a way with the girls!! Hehe, Ryan, Anna and Sophie were just hanging out eating Popsicle's (yes, he was sharing with Sophie, what can I say? It is true love!). It is clear he has these girls wrapped around his fingers! I can only just imagine how much his little baby girl is going to love him!

Pregnancy Pics- 37 weeks

So I am 37 weeks!! Ahhh! How exciting! Technically this means that I am full term. That is neat :) I really don't want her to come out for a couple more weeks though, because things usually go better for the baby if they cook a little longer. That being said, I just can't wait to hold her in my arms!!!!!!

I went to my midwife appointment today. Everything is going perfect. I am so grateful that she is so healthy! Other than being sick for most of the pregnancy, I have had a wonderful complication free pregnancy. Being a labor and delivery nurse you know everything that could go wrong and it is nice when everything doesn't!
