Rach & Curtis

Our friends Rachael & Curtis are expecting their first baby in a month, so today, we spent some time at the park taking some pictures.

I have not done any editing on these so be kind.

I have to admit, it took a little bit of convincing to get Rachael to do the maternity pictures. When we first discussed doing them, she was about 5 months pregnant, and was thinking it was a good time because she was really starting to show. I told her we should wait until she was "huge and miserable" to make sure she really would have some great belly shots. Lately, she has felt just gigantic. I had to remind her that this is when I had told her would be the best time. She now says she is glad she did them, even though she really didn't want to before hand.

And of course, we had to do a few funny ones....

The Belly Contest

This is why pregnant women do not play hide and seek:

It was a lot of fun and I am very excited for Rachael and Curtis. When it comes to starting a family, we have had some interesting timing of experiences with them. I can't wait to meet their new little boy.
