Beautiful Baby Bump, My Childhood Friend

I've known Angie since we were little girls in Belvidere, IL.   I feel a sisterhood with her as we both enter into marriages and parenthood (me, a stepmom) alongside each other.  She's had a busy life with a big career, a lot of travel and loads of friends.   She's always embarking on some new and exciting adventure and now she is on the brink of one of the biggest adventures of all, parenthood.  I'm thrilled for her and can't wait to see her amazing Momma energy.  Her husband, Chris, is just as excited to be a Dad and has a wonderful quirky spirit.  I had a blast photographing them and capturing their energy, laughter and anticipation.  There is a lucky little boy about to join this family.  Let's take a peek, shall we?

Angie's mom made this amazing blanket with material from their travels.

These two are so funny together.  This should help during the 3am feedings.

And off they go into their new life...
