All Grown Up...Really?? & A Little Giveaway :)

With only a few weeks left until I have my 3rd little one I'm sitting here thinking, 'really? am I SERIOUSLY old enough to have THREE kids?!?!' I know that I got married young (20), but I can't get over the fact that my hubs and I have been married for just over 6 years, we have 'grown up' jobs, pay bills and manage a house.

It's not just us...all our friends seem to be all grown up too. In fact, a few of my friends from church youth group are now having their 2nd or even 3rd babies. A few of my friends from that circle are just starting their families and I'm so happy for them! One of those friends is Victoria. She's just about 32 weeks pregnant with her first - a little girl that they are going to name Charlotte.

Yesterday Victoria, her husband Kyle and I braved the cold and brisk wind to go out on the town for some maternity pictures. We had originally planned to do the pictures at a few older buildlings in downtown Newmarket and then I realized that the Santa Claus parade was going to be doing that route at the same time! I thought it was kind of funny that we had to change our plans for Santa. :) We did manage to get a few shots in at the locations that we had hoped for, but then went over to a great older church and wrapped up there.

I'm so happy to be able to give Victoria these special captured memories that she'll one day share with her beautiful little Charlotte.

GIVEAWAY DETAILS!!!
Everyone loves to have a little bit of fun, especially when you don't have to do a lot of work for it, right? So I want everyone to throw their two cents in and take a guess at some details about baby #3!

Some of you may have seen me mention this week on Facebook that I had received a pair of booties from Jady Baby's. I am SO excited to use them on my little one and on future newborn photo shoots!! I am so impressed by the quality of Jade's products and so I'm giving away a $20.00 gift certificate towards the purchase of her products! Check out her products on her website: http://www.wix.com/jadybabys/designs


Just one example of Jade's products - Booties (think Robeez, but handmade by an Ontario Mama in a variety of fabric options!)

Here is what you need to do to qualify:
1) Answer the following 2 questions (you must answer both) either by commenting on the blog (please include your e-mail address so that I can contact you if you win!) here or on my Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tara-Collyer-Photography/125613657465024?ref=ts
- When will baby arrive (just a date)?
- How much will she weigh?
2) You need to also 'like' Jady Baby's fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarnia-ON/Jady-babys/118142738218405?v=wall&ref=ts
3) Last but not least...if you aren't already a fan of mine on Facebook, you need to 'like' my page too :) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tara-Collyer-Photography/125613657465024?ref=ts

The person who's guess is the closest to actual details of the baby's birth wins! It's THAT easy! :) Oh and to make it even easier (maybe...), I'm providing you with the following details:
- Due date: December 13, 2010
- I was induced at 6 days overdue with my 1st and 5 days overdue with my 2nd
- 1st was 8lbs 11oz, 2nd was 8lbs 12oz
- I never had any kind of Braxton Hicks, etc with the first 2, but I've had them for SEVERAL weeks this time (although apparently that means nothing)

Can't wait to see the guesses! :)

  2. Took me a while to figure out how to "like" something. I'm such a Facebook dolt... But I had to participate. Because I am going to guess that your little darling will be born on my birthday and weigh what I weighed.... December 17th. and 10 lbs.... Actually I think I was 9 something.... so I'll say she'll be 9lbs 11ozs. All the best Tara....Just a few more days!
