well its our anniversary day today…7 years married to a wonderful man and 15 years together
if you count the fact that we were going out for 8 years before we decided to get hitched LOL

we didn’t do anything special this year tho, seeing that its a week night and we also have to do a bit of tidy up in the house seeing that we have a builder coming around tomorrow to check out our house….the purchaser of our house might come with him so we thought we better make the house look a bit decent….(oh yeah, in case you didn’t know we are in the process of trying to sell our house again…hopefully we’ll have more luck this time around).

so to celebrate the occasion i asked if we can do a family photo shoot to document our family as well as the stage im in right now as Im officially in my last trimester of my pregnancy, exactly 30 weeks today! wow i can’t believe i only have a few more weeks to go…

my pregnancy has been going well although i’m feeling HUGE (at times i feel like i have been carrying around a basket ball in front of me!)
not to mention lots of heartburn and the random back pain! Im at that stage where i just want to get this over with now….
i can’t wait to meet our boy to complete our family.

i also wanted to say that sometimes i can’t believe that we have created one beautiful lil girl 5 years ago…
she is so sweet, loving and the best thing that ever happened to us….
and now that we are expecting another additional to our lil family she’s soooo excited about it.
I just adore our little girl and sometimes I think that I don’t deserve her.
She is so caring that she will do anything to put a smile on your face, she’s beautiful and enchanting and she’s our little girl.

we are blessed with a little one that is due soon and it makes my heart smile that they will always have each other growing up…
I just know our lil girl is  going to be an awesome big sister. She has been always been a bright spot in our lifes with her smile and her sweet nature…
I feel so lucky and blessed that God chose her to be with us.

anyway, before i start getting all teary eyes, i better share our family maternity pics…
i can’t believe we actually have a nice sunny day today, a good day for our anniversary

we bought this cute red shoes for our baby boy…

me and our cheeky monkey….love her soo much!

she is very excited to be a big sister….she loves hugging and kissing my belly too, such a sweet girl…

and this is what my silly hubby & my cheeky monkey get up to when i left them in charge with the camera remote while im changing my clothes! LOL

see how she is totally lovin my remote? lol

and lastly, our family picture…

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…
