We spent a few precious hours together today, a pocket of sister time where we talked about birth plans, ate pastrami sandwiches, bought a canvas bag (for nappies!) and generally waddled around Bath enjoying the sunshine. When Abby picked me up this morning we discovered we were wearing matching outfits – the only differences were that i had my jeans tucked into my Uggs, and my sister had a gigantic basketball hidden under her blouse… not long to go now!

Oh that last shot is my favourite.
Such a wonderful, soul filling time for you, my dear.
Hooray for sisters!

love: “a pocket of sister time”
(from one who always wanted a sister, but found brothers to be *almost* as good.)
;o)
happy, happy anticipation. . .
your sister looks lovely and I can see the resemblance from all the different angles you’ve photographed her. I can’t even imagine how exciting and nerve racking all this counting down is. I wish your family the best with this amazing journey. :)
oh, your sister is definitely one of those glowing pregnant women–you can see how much the baby will be loved just from these photos!
These photographs are so very precious. Now that they’re both done making babies, I wish I had more photos of my sisters when they were pregnant.
Beautiful!! She is blooming :-)
These are all beautiful pics but the expression on your sister’s face in the first one is something else. The love… the tenderness… the expectation… it made me feel teary, but in a good way.
Beautiful!
Wow… she is absolutely glowing. That first shot is so precious. xo
Dang, they’re beautiful photos. Sending vibes through the universe that all goes well for the impending birth!
what a beautiful, beaming, radiant mama. xoxo
so much beauty!!
These photos all made me smile! What a LOVELY time in life…she looks amazing. Beautiful-birth-blessings coming her way!
she’s stunning. can’t wait to see this beautiful baby and of course the two beautiful sisters with that beautiful baby!
Wonderful to see your resemblance AND that you dressed the same – ah serendipity. I am always amazed at the ending days of pregnancy – how much the belly grows. Seems impossible. Improbable. And there is a baby in there. enjoy – I know you do!
Fun Fun Fun x0
I love that first shot- I wish I could see your jeans tucked into the uggs.

How exciting. I loved being pregnant. She looks absolutely radiant. Hope you guys enjoyed your sister time together. :)
I stumbled across your blog today while riding the train home from work. It was late and my husband was sleeping lightly beside me. I had read a few posts of your poems and others on grief and I’m getting all teary eyed- instantly startling my hubs and probably a few passengers. Anyway I admire you already!! This is just a wonderful blog. Thank you for sharing your life’s journey and spirit with us. I’m thrilled to have found you. I’m surely to keep coming back.
best wishes
beautiful! sounds like a wonderful day.

These shots shine with sisterly love and tenderness — breathtaking and beautiful. That little fellow is going to be loved like mad, and my goodness, he is a lucky little chap to have such remarkable women in his family. This made me happy teary!
(one for each of you)
