I met Brileigh a few years ago and think she’s an absolute doll 🙂 I don’t think I’ve ever met a more excited mama to be!  Brileigh and DJ announced their gender of baby outside in the winter . . .

and then came to the studio later on for another session . ..

I’m so looking forward to meeting your daughter, good luck my friend and see you soon! xo

 

These are two VERY busy toddlers, only a year apart and won’t sit still for long. Mom was desperate for a picture of her little ones together so I thought this might be cute . . .

These little ones had so much fun but I was cleaning up wee bits of feathers for a week after 😀

When I became pregnant with my oldest son Josh 13 years ago (wow time is flying by!) I was so excited and full of questions. My mom sent me a book called What to Expect When You’re Expecting, and wrote in the front cover “July 1998, To Allison, Mark & ?. ..All my love and best wishes forever and ever, love Mom”.

This was my pregnancy bible! I had so many questions and concerns and this fabulous resource book is now dog eared and yellowed after so many reads and 4 babies later 🙂 There is an updated and new version available now!

This is the first book in the series and documents your pregnancy with week-by-week fetal development and every question answered that you could think of regarding your changing body and baby’s development.

The second book ‘What to expect the first year’  discusses preparing for your baby, from what to buy, to breastfeeding and formula feeding advice, and month by month development from birth to child’s first year of life.

 

The final book in the series is ‘What to expect the Second year.’  the book is divided thematically with chapters about toddler communication/talking,  behavior/behavioral problems, discipline, and other topics.
