We are so excited to announce that our family is growing to a family of FOUR! Baby DiMatteo number TWO is joining us in September of 2020!

I spent countless hours researching baby products and gear. I think I was pretty prepared for what we would need but I didn't know that I would use some of these products as much as I have.

Because Nick and I were working around the clock on unpredictable schedules, we didn't know if we were going to have time for an actual maternity shoot!

My Mother-in-law threw this gorgeous fairy baby shower for me! She always does an amazing job decorating for parties but this one was just so cute!

If you're reading this that means you are trying to prepare yourself for labor. Maybe you are like me and you're absolutely terrified.

Congratulations! You're in the final countdown! By now it's pretty obvious that you have a real baby in your belly not just a food baby.

If you read my Rainy Day Maternity Pictures post then you know that we weren't sure we would be able to do a maternity shoot. Thankfully we were able to get these pictures the week before my due date!

Congratulations! You made it to the second trimester! During my first 3 months of pregnancy I read countless articles that said how great the second trimester was.

Whoever came up with the name morning sickness must have either never been pregnant or extremely lucky to only experience nausea in the morning.

When you hear people talk about pregnancy you either hear the glowing stories of feeling your baby kick for the first time or the gruesome details of morning sickness. Yet pregnancy is so much more than that.

Wake up, unwrap the pregnancy test, pee and then wait. I knew the routine because this was my sixth one in 2 weeks.
