Waiting Game

Not much to update yet, so I figured I'd post that we are just hanging
around waiting for things to progress.

I'll be back.

Arrival

Well, turns out we might have a baby today.

Julie got up at 4:00 am to go take pictures of the sunrise. By the
time she got home and had breakfast, she started getting contractions.
They were pretty regular for about an hour so I packed my scotch and
we hopped in the car and headed to Beth Israel.

After we got here though, things slowed down. So we went for a walk
and had some lunch. When we returned, the doctor decided to keep us
here and since we've been doing some walking and a lot of waiting.
It's 3:15PM now - we'll see what the next few hours bring, but seems
like we are sticking around for a while.

07.27.2009 Sunset Pictures

I went on a adventure (well it turned into an adventure) with a group of great photography friends. We decided to take some sunset pictures out at the jetty on Plymouth Beach. I've always wondered how to get out there when I visit the harbor area. So we walked out, it was a great night and great company. We even had our own personal bird guide, Ian (who is truly amazing with his stories and facts about birds). We were busy enjoying the birds, beach, sea and sky and hadn't noticed that we walked for a very long time. We still hadn't made it to the end. Needless to say, we walked for 4 hours! And got some great shots too!

07.25.2009 38 weeks!

I'm obsessed about taking a million pictures of Dani and Patrik with my huge belly! I can never get enough of these precious times. The other day Dani told me that it looked like a beach ball and asked if she could blow it up thru my belly button. She really is too cute. So, here are more pregnancy pictures. I wonder how long it will be before he is ready to see the world.



And here are some more pictures.

07.20.2009 White Horse Beach Sunrise

(Picture of Jamie and I, taken by Rhonda)

Trying something new...taking pictures at sunrise.
It's harder than you'd think. The colors change so quickly you need to manually adjust the camera over and over to get the right exposure. They are not my best, but for my first time I think I did okay. It was so beautiful to watch the sun rising up over the ocean.

Even if Patrik thinks I'm crazy at 9 months pregnant leaving the house at 4:20 am to take pictures.

07.18.2009 Scott Kelby Walk

I joined a photography group about a month ago. I have to say that I am loving it, they are a great group of people. I have be so inspired to do all different kinds of photography. They have so much knowledge and ideas to share. This last weekend some of us got together to do the Scott Kelby's Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk .

This was social photography event where photographers get together, usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town, to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers...

Here are a few of my picture from the event.

07.18.2009 Swimming!

Although there has not been very many nice sunny summer days we still have had a few pool days to enjoy. Dani has been such a little fish! I get so nervous with her around the pool being so pregnant. The other day we decided to have Dani try a swimsuit with floats built in. I can't even believe how quickly she pick it up. I figured she would bob a bit and take a while to figure out how to balance. Nope, not her! About a minute later I realized that no one was holding on to her and she was doing it all by herself!
She was so proud of herself too! She even was taunting daddy to race her to the end of the pool.

07.16.2009 Pregnancy Photo Shoot

37 weeks! I was so excited to get maternity shots taken. How quick this pregnancy has passed. It won't be long until we finally get to meet the little man.

I asked two of my new photography friends, Amy and Rhonda, if they could take some pictures to remember this amazing time in our lives. Boy they did more than an amazing job!




Warning: If a naked pregnant belly creeps you out, do not go any farther (S1 I'm talking to you)
