Our pregnancy Photo Shoot

A couple of weeks ago our friend Chris Aragon agreed to come with us to Julian and take our pregnancy photo shoot.

It was a beautiful day

 The photographs are impeccable, the scenery is breathtaking and the memories are priceless

We are very excited for Zara Kay to come in to our lives.

Zara's baby shower #2

A week after our first baby shower with family, we had another one with friends. The weather was very shifty, it was sunny in the morning and then it started raining but that didn't stop our amazing friends from coming over and celebrating with us.

Food, raffles, rain, laughs and great company with the people we love were the highlight of our day. I just want to thank everyone who came and made this day so special. 

Also to those who made the shower possible, I couldn't have done it with out my mother in law's help, my husband and my awesome friend Mayra. Also my sister in law and my brother (Abe&Crystal) who hosted both of our baby showers in their backyard.

Zara got way too many cute outfits and essentials for her big debut and my husband and I are just so blessed to have friends who have been and will continue to be with us through the seasons to come.

Thank you everyone for sharing this time of joy with us!

Zara's baby shower #1

   

It has been some crazy busy months, with all the holidays and family and pregnancy I just haven't had a chance to blog anything other than my weekly belly pictures which I almost force myself to do so because I know I will regret not having them when she is here to look back at when she was living in my belly.

Anyhow, this is about Zara's first baby shower. We had it the last weekend of November, a week after Thanksgiving so our family that lives out of town could be with us. We had a great time celebrating with extended family and friends.

As usual we love giving back, so my husband planned a couple of raffles and gifts to go with them and we had a blast. Zara is trully blessed to be born in to a loving extended family who is just as excited as we are for her to be born.

I asked my brother to photograph the even so I wouldn't have to be the one photographing while entertaining, and he did an awesome job. BUT, when he uploaded the pictures to send them to me he lost them in cyberspace, so I guess my mom's iphone photos would have to do.
