a baby inside

Kick, kick, kick... 

Late last week, a free morning to spend with a dear friend walking in the woods, throwing river rocks, talking of things to come (good things!). The forest smelled of fragments and wetness (and oddly, a little like cilantro too) and I don't think any of the *four* of us wanted to return to the city. A beauty day!

Beauty!

These soon to be first time parents are building a nest, literally walking around shining like the sun in anticipation of their new arrival. I wonder if they know how much their world is about to become centred around everything that is lovely and new? Lucky little babe - not yet born, but already so loved. 

Congratulations, my dear friends.

Happy 34 weeks to my dear friends who are expecting their first babe! We spent some time Wednesday evening in the garden documenting belly and parents - more pictures to come soon. 

So lovely. 

Expecting...
