My nephew is on the way!


In only a few short days I will finally get to be an aunt! As many of you know, my brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first child very soon! I cannot wait to be an aunt, and am so exciting to meet my nephew whenever it is that he decides to finally come out and greet the world!
About a year ago I became very interested in maternity pictures. I started bugging my brother, Josh, about getting Katie pregnant so I could get a chance to take some of these pictures myself. Little did any of us know that Katie was already about a month pregnant when I started begging them to make a baby.
Ever since the day I found out Josh and Katie were pregnant, I have been looking forward to photographing Katie (and yes, of course, getting to have a nephew :) ).
Since I wanted to be sure and get the photo session in before the baby came, Zach and I decided to go to South Dakota a week before her due date, hoping the baby would come early so we could get to see him too while we were up there.
A few days before we went up Katie's doctor informed her that she would most likely give birth that week, which worked out perfect for us. I would get to take Katie's maternity pictures, meet my nephew, and take the newborn pictures all in one trip-hip hip hooray!
Did everything all work out this perfectly? Well, no, but now I have an excuse to make another expedition up to SD after he is born! AND, I still got to take the pictures!
The photo shoot was so much fun, just like I thought it would be! Side note, feel free to check out some more pictures on my website, www.jk-images.com or even more on my JK Images Facebook page.
After hearing that the baby had no plans of coming out soon and that she could easily be pregnant for another month, they decided to set an appointment this Tuesday for Katie to be induced (unless the baby comes before). You know what that means...road trip for me this weekend!
Also, while we were in SD last week, we got Josh a shirt that reads, "I did this to you!", which he will be wearing when they go to the hospital, just so Katie has a friendly reminder while she is in labor squeezing Josh's hand.
That's all for now, I'll post some pictures of my handsome nephew next week!
