Thanks so much for all the kind words, prayers, and sweet things so many of you said to me (us) on yesterday’s post! It was a real treat for me to come home yesterday afternoon and see so many wishing us well… and to keep seeing those well wishes and kind comments coming in later in the day. You guys are a wonderful group of friends that I can celebrate my joys with as well as find support from during the bad times. It means so much to me, I don’t feel I can express it adequately.
(Look, the newly pregnant woman is getting emotional… no one saw that coming, eh?)
I mentioned coming home to see the comments… that is because in the morning, John and I packed Braden up and met some fabulous Nashville bloggers for some of child-filled fun at the Zoo!
Malia got us all to drag our carcasses away from our computers for awhile (now that is power), and I’m really glad she did, because it’s been too long since I saw those lovely ladies!
I took my camera with me, fully planning on taking pictures of their lovely faces.
Instead, I got infected with “baby love.” Sorry ladies, I gots the feevah!
Little Jeremiah (Alli’s newest addition)

The Tiny, Lovely Tessa (Michelle’s brand new sweetie)

Tessa’s big sister was close by, and she was not to be left out, which was fine by me… she is incredibly beautiful…
Sabrina

But seriously, I couldn’t stop eyeballing the babies…

Baaaaaaaabbeeeeeeeees.
*dreamy sigh*
I have to wait 9 whole months again, right? *grooooaaaaan*
*fart*
(sorry.)

Oh yeah you got it BAD! Baby Fever!
They are all so adorable and still my thought is “Thank God it isn’t me” I guess the batteries in my biological clock are dead.

Oh not 9 WHOLE months. Just another 36 weeks or so.
Not sure it sounds any better when you put it like that. Kinda reminds me that pregnancy is actually 10 months long. Sigh.
Yes, you do have to wait. And that’s the sucky bit.

I always miss my children as babies when I see pictures like these. Those kids are beautiful! Mine are in their 30’s now, and having babies of their own. And seeing these pics today makes me miss my grandchildren as well.

Love the close up shots. Baby’s eyes. Yep that’s where it’s at. I tend to photograph their feet a lot too. At least my kids feet anyway..cos they’re so damn cute!

Meredith will bring another tiny one into our mix soon (if she hasn’t already) so there will be another shot of baby love while you wait for yours to arrive.
I’m been amazed at how mushy I am now with extra hormonal goodness! But dang my kiddos are cute!

Babies are much more fun to photograph than mommies. I am sure the mommies were glad to have your lens focused on the kiddos!

I know the feeling. I’ve been gazing into strollers everywhere I go hoping that my child will be as cute (ok hopefully better looking than most) as the babies I see.

this was one of my favorite side effects from pregnancy–major baby love. I would hug them, touch them, hold them, play with them . . . until the the police arrived to take the crazy pregnant lady away.
I kid . . . but I was kinda out of control.
And I make no apologies . . .
I’m just so geekily happy for you . . . (geekily, my word. I like it and I’m keeping it).

Con-freakin-grats! I am over the freaking moon about your pregnancy.
I think I may just be more excited than YOU are! Fo’sho!

Those are certainly some beautiful kids! Only 8 1/2 more months to go until you can snap millions of shots of your TWO beautiful children.

I have the cure for the fever, having babies! That does it!
The problem is the 9 months goes so slow but you know how it is once they pop out! They are 20 in 5 minutes. Seriously!!!!!!!!
