Maternity photos

Most of you know our daughter Heather and her husband Andrew, are expecting a baby!  It's a boy and he's due in the beginning of September, but she has Type 1 Diabetes which means she is a high risk pregnancy and will most likely be induced early.  The ultrasound last week said he already weighs over 7 pounds.  Heather has been doing well; her blood sugars are stable and blood pressure is good.
Heather wanted me to take some maternity photos and since it looks like the baby will be coming soon, we thought we better get them done.
We met at a park on Saturday to take the pictures.  Bob came along to help direct Cassie to look at the camera, and then to do a little playing with her while we finished the other pictures.
Here's a few of the finished pics.







When you are dealing with a toddler, it's hard to get a picture of them looking at you - and sometimes the thumb is in the mouth!




Cassie wanted a picture of her with her kitty.




I love the expression on Cassie's face in this one.





Cute little baby boy shoes.





















My favorite of Heather and Andrew







And, my favorite of their family.

We had fun, got some good pictures and got one more thing done before this sweet addition to our family arrives.

    Oh my word Mari what a precious, precious, precious family! Cassie! What a darling child she is. Heather looks absolutely wonderful. She has the most beautiful skin! Just lovely, all of them. I'm so excited about this little guy, I can hardly stand it! Such happy times! I am praying for a problem-free delivery! xoxo

    Such wonderful maternity pictures, Mari. Andrew and Heather make such a lovely couple and I'm so thankful to the Lord for the way He has worked on their behalf this year! Now I understand where Cassie gets that sweet little face of hers...she looks so much like Heather.

    So lovely! I truly do love these photos of your sweet family and baby to be! No one ever thought of doing that back when we were having babies. I have one or two photos of me pregnant. My mother said they always were supposed to keep the pregnancy hidden back her day, so they would never dream of taking pictures. Times have certainly changed, and I love it. Praying for your sweet family and the precious little one that is waiting to make his appearance. Praying all will go well for mother and baby and for sweet Cassie as she adapts to having a baby brother to share her parents and grandparents with. It will be a new thing for her, but she will be a great big sister I am certain! Sweet days ahead. Praying.

    I looked you up and followed you - every time I go to one of my friend's blog you seem to be there. So, I figured I might as well check you out.
    So, a baby boy - and they have a girl - perfect family - I wish them well. Very pretty pictures. sandie
