Maternity pictures

She did it again!! I'm sure everyone has had the pleasure of seeing Emilee's work before considering I recruit her to do everything. This time she worked her magic through our Maternity pictures. I was probably the worst "subject" she's had yet. At 37 weeks pregnant, swollen ankles, and a lack of sleep, she still managed to make me feel beautiful. These pictures mean so much to us now, and will continue to for as long as I can imagine. I can't wait to show Harper how beautiful she was even before she was born. These are just the first ones she has sent me. I will post more once she sends them to me. Some of them still need to be touched up, but I was so excited about them I couldn't wait.










Thanks again Emilee. I can't wait to see the rest.

My husband

I know Valentine's Day is over, but I just wanted to take a moment to brag on my wonderful husband. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of him. He excels at everything he does; I know fatherhood won't be any different. He is a realtor during one of the worst housing markets we've seen. Adam would never let this hold him back. He was the top sales agent for his division last month, and has actually sold over his quota multiple times in the past year. He keeps this attitude whether at work or at home. He has set a personal goal for himself and now gets up every morning BEFORE work to go to the gym. He is eating better and skipping a lot of those snacks that used to find their way into his daily routine. I can't even get myself to walk around the block in the middle of the day. Adam is loved and respected by everyone who meets him. I became one of these lucky people on February 12th 2005. I am so honored today, to be his wife.

We both could not be more excited about being parents. I'm sure we will be exhausted for a while and probably down right scared at times. It will be testing in many ways for both of us. I couldn't imagine entering this point in my life with anyone else. I feel very confident being with someone who doesn't know how to fail. No matter what we go through, I know everything will work out just fine. It makes me so proud to see how excited he is to be a dad. He has been a part of absolutely everything involving my pregnancy and all the preparations for her arrival. I was admittedly a little nervous for his reaction when we found out we were having a girl. This feeling didn't last long. Adam puts all my fears to and end every time he talks about Harper, his love of the nursery, and all the excitement he has to finally hold his little girl. I am filled with emotions about meeting Harper and welcoming her into our family, but all those emotions are amplified thinking about how close this will bring us as a family.

I love you sweetie.
