It was a normal day with our community group. We were sharing a meal together; all squished around a table that normally seats 7-8 people (there were 12 of us) as we heard the great news of “The Wells are having a baby!”

It was very exciting.  Not too long before that day, another girl in our group had announced that she was pregnant. At that time, there were officially two women pregnant in our group, a baby a few months old and two of us that were not pregnant, nor had never been pregnant (including myself).

It's such a fun time when all of your friends are pregnant. At least, I think it is. :)

Anyways, the Wells told me from the beginning that they wanted me to do their maternity pictures. I’ve done the maternity pictures of every single woman in our group and I figured, why not keep the tradition going? ;) You can see Samantha’s here and Jen’s here. In fact, interestingly enough, Samantha was my first ever photo shoot!

The session was a blast! Hanging out with the Wells is already awesome, so adding my camera in that mix made it a lot of fun!

Julia is due sometime next week, so I can't wait to meet the new addition to their family.

Jay and Julia – You’re going to make awesome parents. I can’t wait to meet your little one! He/She is going to be wonderful!

I love these two pics of Morgan (their dog). She just loves Jay and Julia tons!

This next photo makes me crack up. :) I love you guys! 

 I love the 'sweetness' of this next picture.

JULIA! You are SO stunning!! Your eyes are so beautiful! :) 

Congrats Jay and Julia!

I've never been to a shower before that was so detailed. It was beautiful. They had everything from diaper 'cakes' to baby clothes hanging delicately from a string infront of a large window. It was beautiful!

Julia is one of the girls in my community group from church. It seems that every single girl in my community group is now pregnant or had a baby within the past year or so...except me. :) While I'd love to be a part of this 'bonding experience,' God has His perfect timing and I'm not worrying about it whatsoever. I figure that when God blesses my womb, it'll happen. Until then, I will enjoy life without kids with my lovely husband. As well, I have to remind myself that all of the people in my group, for the most part, are at least 2-3 years older than I am. That 2-3 years makes a huge difference!

Julia asked me to do pictures at her shower and it was a lot of fun. It was a great joy to be able to help in this way.

Anyways, enough of my rambling! Here are some pics of my beautiful friends!

A little bit of gift opening. It was fun seeing Julia's expressions to each of the gifts. :) 

We had a few games - this one was fun watching. Basically, this was 4 oz of chocolate milk in the bottle. The first person who drank all of the milk one. It's a LOT harder than it looks (apparently - I didn't participate). I'll take their word for it, though. ;) 

This won't be the last of Julia that you will see. Up in the next post will be her maternity pictures. They were SO much fun to do! :) So keep watch for them!

Congrats Julia!! I know you will make an amazing Mom!!!
