Maternity Photos




A little late...however, I'm so excited to have these. Marielle Hayes took amazing pictures of me at 36 weeks!!! I didn't get the chance with my last pregnancy to do maternity pictures because it ended so quickly. If you notice my necklace it means the world to me. Brian bought it for me for Mother's Day, it has 2 October birthstones (for the girls), and a little boy's shoe in honor of Ryder.



Charlotte's birth was so bitter-sweet. Brian and I agreed to have 2 children prior to marriage, and with the birth of the twins we thought we had hit the jackpot!! We didn't know that Ryder's fate was not meant to be here on earth with us at the time. I truly believe that if it wasn't for his death our perfect little princess would not be here with us today. I rejoiced and mourned with her birth, but today I am without words as to the level of happiness she has brought to my life.


As I write this Charlotte is officially 4 weeks old. I can't believe that I was pregnant for 38 weeks and 5 days, and now my precious baby is here and already a month old. I need to take the time and write about her birth, but right now I'm just excited to share these photos of the magical time of my pregnancy!
