When I found out I was pregnant, I was sure it was a girl. After having three girls, it was what I was used to, and what I was prepared for. I never felt like I needed to have a boy to be complete, but now that he’s here, I can’t imagine my life without him! I would have been just as happy to have another girl, but I’m so glad he’s mine!

I knew that this would be my last baby and wanted to make sure to document my belly! One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t let anyone take any pictures of me while I was pregnant with my oldest…not even snapshots. It makes me so sad to know that I have no pictures of that special time in my life, so I’ve made sure to have photographs taken in my subsequent pregnancies. My sister was kind enough to shoot these for me, venturing out on an extremely hot and sticky July evening to capture these by the river, and then coming over just days before my induction at 39 weeks to shoot a few studio shots for me. I truly treasure these photos.

I was induced overnight on September 7, and Bennett was born on September 8 around 6am. 🙂 My girls are elated and absolutely love their baby brother.
