Finally, the last post for 2008!

Happy birthday to me!

I keep telling my husband this is my last birthday. Next year I turn the big 30 and I don't want to think about it :) Last year at this time I celebrated my birthday by seeing Maya for the first time. We had our first ultrasound!! We saw her kick me and we found out we are having a baby girl. Brian and I had two girl names picked out but no boy names. When we got into the car after the ultrasound I mentioned names and Brian just looked at me and said "Maya it is!"

6 month photo shoot

Kristen of K Holly Studios did Maya's newborn and 3 month pictures. Maya's newborn and 3 month sessions impressed me so much that I knew I wanted Kristen to do Maya's 6 month shoot as well. Kristen has always done a wonderful job, but the 6 month session was INCREDIBLE. Here are some of my favorites. Some of them may look familiar to you if you visited Kristen's blog at http://khollystudios.blogspot.com/.

Illini home opener

We were lucky enough to take Maya to her first Illini game! Not only did we see the Illini, Maya got to see her Uncle Beau on his birthday.
