london baby coming soon!

while my photographer sister saydi was in town last week, the boy and i had her take some maternity pictures for us! it was kind of an ordeal trying to figure out when and how to take the photos considering different schedules and locations and etc., but we ended up having such a fun and lovely monday evening together (and with my sister saren), chasing the good light. we spent some time right outside st. thomas’s hospital, where our son will be born (in less than two months!!!), and some time around our flat and in trafalgar square. the weather was just perfect and we were all feeling so captivated and endeared by this spectacular city.

saydi just sent me the photos this afternoon and i absolutely love how they turned out! she’s incredible! i had the hardest time trying to decide just a nice selection of the pictures to post on my blog – so many fun and beautiful and good ones! click through and see how terribly i did at narrowing down…

we are sure excited about our london baby coming soon. he’s moving around in my belly so much, my nesting instincts are kicking in like crazy, and as we’ve begun to make more logistical preparations, it has started to really get real! i am so grateful for the beautiful life that the boy and i share, and that we are able to grow our family in this amazing city. six weeks to go!
