A Due Date - Red Barn Photography

My mind has been on Layla Faith today as it is her original due date. With Kylie I was stuck on having her on October 11th, when we were due. We had her on the 23rd. God's really good about reminding us He's in control. Once we got Layla's diagnosis in August, we sort of disregarded today's date. However, when we were first pregnant, I remember thinking, "Maybe we'll have her in 2011. He/she could be a Christmas baby." Due dates don't really mean anything. It's still a date that sticks with you. Today, January 8th, 2012.

In November I was blessed by a friend who was able to do maternity pictures. I never had any done with Kylie, but Layla was different. I wanted to have that memory to look back on and remember the 'feeling' I had being pregnant. These pics were taken only 10 days before we had Layla. Just in time.

They were done by Red Barn Photography. She was amazing. Her photo shoots are so fun. Mandi had sweet music, snacks for Kylie, and a great atmosphere. She was totally prepared for me. I didn't know what she was doing, but she did. (That's what matters.) The results are great!

So, in honor of Layla's original due date, enjoy some pictures by Red Barn Photography. 'Like' them on Facebook & use them if you're in Green Bay. They have an awesome studio space!!

This picture made me tear up while she was taking it. It still does. Those ribbons have so much meaning. They represent all of the people who surrounded us with love and prayers throughout our journey with Layla Faith. 

Thank you!
