In just a few short weeks (or days??), Heather and Brian will be welcoming baby girl number two. This totally blows my mind, because their daughter Maddie is the same age as my Little Monster, and weren’t they JUST BORN last week? I’m pretty sure Heather and I only just met at our first playgroup with our sleepy, hungry infants a few short days ago.
But in reality, it’s been over a year and a half and these kids are talking and running and saying “no” and throwing tantrums and giving kisses. And suddenly, baby Maddie is about to be a big sister. We wanted to capture a bit of their life together as a family of three before everything gets turned upside down in the whirlwind of love and chaos that only a newborn can bring.
Now that they live in Virginia I don’t get to see Heather and Maddie on a weekly basis anymore, so it was such a treat to spend a chilly February afternoon with them. I tried hard to not gawk at how amazing Heather looks, but let’s be honest, that was hard to do. She is the definition of how to “rock the bump.” And the way Brian loves his girls is just too precious for words. Ok, I’ll stop babbling now and just jump right into the pictures. I kind of hope Heather sticks her belly up to the computer screen so that baby girl can see what a great family she is getting.
When I got home that night I realized my boots were caked with goose poop, but it was totally worth it to get these shots at the pond behind their house.
I am counting down the days until that baby girl is here!!! There is a slight chance that Heather and Brian are more excited than I am… but I don’t know. I really can’t wait to make my next trip down to Virginia to snuggle and photograph their sweet new addition. Hang in there, Heather- not much longer!
