:: Fruit Pregnancy Photos ::

Some of you might remember when I announced that my sister-in-law was pregnant by showing you some photos of her at 11 weeks. It still blows my mind to think that a baby is the same size, weight or length of a piece of fruit. It kind of puts things into perspective.

Since I posted those photos back in July, my gorgeous little niece has been born. I have some super cute photos of my niece to share, but I thought I would share these photos from November, when my sister-in-law was 31 weeks (and my niece was the size of a pineapple!) first.

This photo was a take on the pregnancy photos you see of the male holding his stomach like he's pregnant.

I adore this photo. It was completely unposed, I just happened to have the camera up to my eye when this happened.

My brother and sister-in-law had their wedding photos taken in these same spots, so we plan to take all pregnancy and family shots here so they can create an awesome montage of photos showing their progression as a family. I love that idea!

:: Fruit Pregnancy Photos ::

There seems to be a growing trend to document the growth of your pregnant belly week by week. My sister-in-law and I have decided to do this on a monthly basis, because having some spare time every weekend is rare these days! One super cute trend I have seen is to show the size of your growing baby in comparison to fruit. How amazing to think your baby is the size of a lime, then a lemon, and then an orange!

These photos of my sister-in-law were taken a few weeks ago. We actually find out if we're getting another niece or nephew in two weeks time! I am so excited! I can't wait for another baby to spoil. I think she's going to have a boy, but the rest of the family is pretty much split down the middle - half on team girl and half on team boy!

I'm not sure how I'll document my future pregnancies. To all the Mummas out there - did you document your growing bellies? If so, did you have a particular theme? I've seen photos of ladies wearing the same clothes, standing against the same backdrop each week, and photos of ladies standing in front of a blackboard full of information about their baby. So many cute ideas!

Thank you for all your surgery well wishes! Not long now!

:: Future Niece Update and a Giveaway Winner! ::

Hello lovelies!

It would seem I am overdue for a blog post! Life has been crazy busy lately with the painting of our house well underway. I cannot wait to show you before and after photos! The house is nowhere near finished yet, but the difference is already enormous! It's amazing how much difference a clean coat of paint can do! Our lovely red trims are still in place at the moment, and I cannot wait to see them go!

As you all my know my little sister is pregnant, and let me tell you she is HUGE! She is currently bigger than every other pregnant lady on our floor (we work for the same company), but they are all due before her. Girls in our family carry quite large, so I can't wait to see how big I'm going to be one day as I am the shortest!

Here she is at almost 27 weeks.

Massive, right? She is a lot bigger now! I can't wait to show you just how big she gets by the time she's full term!

And, exciting news! My sister-in-law is also pregnant! She is due three days after my birthday (early January!). It's definitely baby season in our family. I will share some photos of my sister-in-law very soon.

And now for my giveaway winner - congratulations Rachael! I'll contact you for your postal address soon.

Thanks to everyone who entered :)

:: I'm Going To Be An Aunty Again ::

Exciting news! My younger sister is pregnant! SO exciting! This time two years ago we were celebrating my other little sister's pregnancy, and now I am all excited to become an Aunty again. My sister is due a few days before my nephew's birthday, so my nephew could get a baby cousin for his second birthday!

And here's the best bit ... they're having a ...

Little girl!!!

Look at those little ballet shoes! Couldn't you just die? My sister is obsessed with ballet. Obsessed. She has been dancing since she was 12 and has spent most of her time either dancing or working at her ballet school. Needless to say, she's over the moon to be having a little ballerina.

They decided to have a cupcake gender reveal party to tell all the siblings what they were having. Such a cute idea!

I love all the creative ways to let people know if you're having a boy or a girl! I first saw the cupcake/cake gender reveal party idea on Pinterest. There are so many creative people out there!

Would you find out? How would you let everyone know? I'd definitely find out. I take my hat off to people who decide to wait 'til their baby is born - I couldn't stand the suspense!
