more photoshoot pics

I just can't help myself.. here are some more pictures from Jason's newborn shoot with Janny

I can't believe how fast the time is flying by! I mean.. this was almost 3 months ago!

Once again I want to give a big shout out to Janny... thank you so much! We will treasure these memories forever!

hope you all have a wonderful day!

Xoxo, Carly

look at that belly*

Long before I ever knew I was pregnant I would see these adorable "bump pictures" around the web and on pinterest and so when I found out we were expecting I made a point to try and take more pictures of me... (not my favorite thing)

And while we didn't do it exactly the way we planned... [at some point the pictures became selfies and moved from our living room to our bedroom mirror (with.. gasp... even a bathroom selfie in the mix... I know.. and i'm sorry!)] I did manage to document my growing bump along the way!

Now that Jason is here its really fun to look back and see him/my belly growing.. so I thought I would share.. hehe..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yikes.. that's a lota pictures of me... but fun to look back and see!
*when I look at them I can't help but think of this video someone sent me while I was pregnant..

still makes me giggle...

anyhoo..
hope you are having a wonderful week!

He's such a model...

Some people are just so talented you know?! For instance a lady from our church in Zwolle, Janny... she takes these amazing photos :) You can head over to see her blog www.lighthousefotografie.blogspot.nl or her photography site www.janny-beimers-fotografie.nl

We were lucky enough to do a newborn shoot with her when Jason was just 10 days old! Her daughter is also a friend of mine who lives close by and we were able to do the shoot at her house. It was really amazing to see how much work goes into these shoots but the results were pretty amazing. I know I'm going to always treasure these pics of our little man...

Here are just a few to show you what I'm talking about :) (although I may post more soon!)

Amazing right? And I can't helped but be amazed by how much he has already changed since then!

If you have a minute be sure to check out Janny's sites and let her know you stopped by! (and if you have a newborn or need a photographer I would highly recommend her!) ;)

hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Pictures from week 1

You guys are going have to bear with me for a little bit while I post a lot about a certain someone in my life.. hehe.. I hope you don't mind :) I'll try to post on some other topics soon but you can expect to see a lot of him.

He was born at a hospital in Den Haag on May 3rd and 4 hours later we were already home!

That night my in-laws passed by..

3 generations of Mr. B's!

I had a really easy delivery and here in NL they do things a little differently. They actually have a nurse that comes to you home every day for the first week to check on you and the baby and help out around the house.

The lady that came the first day got sick though so we had a different lady the second day and then a 3rd lady for the rest of the time. It worked out so well though because we really hit it off with her, Helene. It was such a blessing to have someone here who could answer all my questions AND took care of the house and everything. Even just to have someone who would take care of the baby while I showered and such. She even brought me breakfast in bed-- I felt like a princess for the week!

Mr. J loves the bath.. here is his first one at 2 days old..
we put him in and he promptly fell asleep :)



punk hair after a bath.. and beautiful big eyes.



One of the best part of the week for me had to have been when my parents came though.. It is amazing to have your parents meet your child.. 

Don't you just love it when things work out kind of perfectly?! About a month before my due date my parents realized that they were going to be pretty busy in the month of May.. it actually worked out that there was just one week that they would be able to come visit.. unfortunately you can't exactly decide what day baby will make his grand entrance.. but they went ahead and got the tickets anyways. Jason came just 2 days after his due date and so it was right on time! My mom got to meet him when he was 4 days old and my dad just 2 days later!

nana meeting her grandbaby.. love this.

The weeks have flown by and I can't believe this was almost 2 months ago!

I hope you enjoy the pics! more to come!
