i really dont mean to be a downer on this holiday, but i just can’t help how i feel….im missing my lil girl terribly so i can’t sleep well lately.

She is away for 3 weeks and so far its only been a week and the days seem to crawl ever so slowly….
I’ve been trying to keep my mind occupied with other things but its not working so great….
the house feel so empty and wayy to quite, plus the weather is so grey and raining today,
it matched my mood and how i feel this morning…*sigh*

12 more days and counting….

Sending the warmest Christmas greeting from our family to yours!
We wish everyone a magical Christmas and a fantastic holiday!

Hope the New Year will bring lots of joy and happiness to all.

Its my birthday today and its also the day i enter my 26 weeks in my pregnancy…
that means im officially viable, what a great birthday gift that is.
So for my birthday i decided to do some proper maternity shots seeing that i have been very slack at taking my belly pics this time around.

Doing a normal self portrait is hard enough when i use my wireless remote,
let alone when you have a big belly that makes it difficult to do certain things.
This time because i have specific things in mind for my pics and its practically impossible to do with wireless remote
i have to ask my dear hubby to help…and let me tell you it wasn’t easy! lol

I know exactly what i want for my pics…and its extremely hard not being behind the camera
and not having any control of what it looks like in the viewfinder…but we managed to get there in the end.

I had to give specific directions to my dear hubby for everything…things like where he needs to stand,
what angle he needs to shoot, how to compose the picture, the focal length of the camera…
well pretty much everything, and then i have to check every shot to make sure i get what i want…
and most of the time we ended up doing a re-shoot,
so its not surprising that he told me that im a very hard client to please…LOL

He was a trooper tho and he did very well in following my directions,
he was also very patient in doing the re-shoots (and its A LOT of re-shoots, trust me! lol)….
i just love this man, ohh and i gotta have him in some of my maternity pics too
so i’ll have to whip out my wireless remote for that (maybe later this week),
but that’s another story coz i gotta convinced him to be in it, and that’s gonna be a bit of a mission…lol

Secretly i think he did it only because it was my special birthday request
and also probably because he knows i only ask this of him once in a blue moon
and this will hopefully be my last pregnancy so we wont get to do this again.

Anyway, we had some fun throughout the session and i get to have some nice pics to keep as my special memory.
Here are some of my fave pics from our session…

Today is my parent’s last day in Wellington…well technically its my dad’s last day because my mum will come back next year.
They are taking my lil girl to Sydney with them tomorrow and she will be there for 3 whole weeks!
Honestly, we probably wouldn’t know what to do with all the free time we’ll have in my hands….and we’ll be missing her like crazy for sure.

Seeing that my dad will not be seeing my lil girl for a while i’ve decided to take some pics of them together.
I only get to see my dad once a year if im lucky so i really love these pics, and the memories of them having a great fun together will always be special to me…

a kiss for Opa

and a kiss for Oma too…

sharing the chippies from the picnic basket…

showing Opa the water fountain…we dont have these in Indonesia so its a new thing for my dad to try…

my dad loves feeding the seagulls and ducks with my lil girl…
