EXPECTING: Cristina + Matt

It's always a pleasure to meet up with old friends.  It's an even greater pleasure when the reason you get together is to capture an incredibly special moment in their lives.

Cristina and Matt are a little less than a month away from the arrival of their baby girl, Sarah.  I'm so happy they asked me to snap a few photos of that sweet baby bump before Sarah makes her way into this world.  I know these two are going to be terrfic parents to this little girl and they are anxiously awaiting her arrival!

How great does Cristina look for 8 months pregnant?!

Ready to POP!

Mommy and Daddy love you already!

Penny wanted to get in on the fun!

Just beautiful.

Cristina and Matt have recently purchased a house and are in the process of renovating.  Pretty soon that room they are standing in will be Sarah's new nursery!

These two are so cute together and I know they are going to be awesome parents to little Sarah!

It's BABY DAY!!!

Today, I am so happy because at exactly 1pm today (or sometime around there), my beautiful sister-in-law and brother, along with my nephew Ryan, will welcome a new addition to their family!  The mystery will finally be solved:  Boy or Girl?  And an even bigger mystery will be solved:  what is this kid's name?! (this has been an on-going debate for months!).

I went to visit with Jaime (my sister-in-law) yesterday to see her before the big day.  We also took this as an opportunity to finally get those "belly" shots we've been talking about doing (nothing like waiting until the absolute last minute!).

I met up at their apartment after work only to find this little lion "hiding in the jungle" (quote my nephew).

The bassenet is all set and ready to go!

We can finally open this present!

Here's hoping this new addition gets those baby blues like big brother!

Mommy can't wait for you to arrive....

.... because she can't take this heat anymore!

I feel I need to explain why the onsie is crooked and upside down and the answer is simply because that is the baby's current position.  Jaime also felt this needed some clearly up, otherwise it just looks weird.

Get out there and play your Numbers and Win 4!

Girl or Boy?  We'll know in a few hours!!!  I can't wait to meet my new niece/nephew and godchild!

6 more weeks to go!

Until my baby nephew/niece arrives!  What better time for an impromptu belly shot than at a graduation party in the middle of a restaurant =)
