Watch Her Grow–Part 1
I have had several people on Facebook, email, and family back home ask when I was going to post some images of Emily. Well the truth is…even though she’s now 26 weeks, she didn’t really start showing till very recently. But now she is a growing almost daily it seems. It’s really been a pretty amazing experience thus far and I must say feeling your first baby kick just never gets old.
So for my own personal intentions, I wanted to post some photos of Emily up to this point. These kind of sporadic maternity shoots have been shot on a whim…the real maternity shoot will be closer to the February 17th due date. Nevertheless, we have had some fun going out and capturing this fun time in our lives. My hope is to take photos of her about every 2 weeks.
20 Weeks
23 Weeks![]()
Quick little side not about the next 3 images. I had been taking photos that day and told Em she was hardly showing, just look at the photo above and you’ll agree. It was the first image below when I joked and said, “Babe, you look huge from here.” The subsequent two images were her reactions. I just love this!!!
Em took a couple shots of me…I just really love this shot!!!![]()

November 13, 2010What a lucky woman Emily is to have such a documentation of her belly. I did all my own pictures each week from the countertop on TIMER SHOOT. They are NOT pretty. But THESE? Wow.
John, you are inspiring! That baby of yours is one lucky little thing.
