Why so dressy?

Why not? :)

We are very proud parents-to-be.
By the way, bets are open: will our baby BOY be brown-eyed like myself or rather blue-eyed and blond like daddy? Leave a comment, let me know what you think!

Impressive enough, Markino still fits in the wedding suit! The tie is just the latest crazy one I got him.

Something a little more casual.

All pictures of me are self-portraits and the bump you are seeing is an almost 31weeks pregnant belly (rockin’ the 8th month right now). 9 weeks to go before the baby is here…

Why self-portraits? I hate being photographed by other people. May sound crazy, but I am totally uncomfortable in front of the camera when somebody else is behind it. It’s a little harder and time-consuming but I’ve found that self-portraits are the way to go.

Amanda: I found your blog on the bump & have been following. I love your pictures & it was great to hear your bump photos are self portraits! They are so great!! I had to do a self portrait for my bump pic last week and it was quite a challenge. You are really talented & beautiful!!

Klo: Thank you!! :) Self-portraits are not easy at all... but I've been taking mine for 3 years now. Practice makes perfect (I'm still working on it).

Mary Francis: Wonderful photos, as usual, Klo! As far as baby's eyes go...I say they'll be brown (being the dominant color and all), but you never know! I'm wondering the same about our baby. I have brown eyes, Dave has green-ish eyes. We'll see!

gremlin: if will be a girl i think would be gorgeous with you body, but colors of your husband. Sincerely i don't like curly hair so i hope straight as yours ... :)

Klo: Uhm, it's a BOY!

witchpanther: ma come siete belli eleganti!!!!....

Giulia: ok, I am not as gorgeous as you are :-), but I can understand... when in front of a camera I never know what to do with my hands, arms, face...look right? left? up down? that's why (the ONLY reason... :-) ) i am not a top model... :-P so the result is always deceiving...and I am sad because, well I am not that beauty, but...I look better than that girl in pictures... :-( I would like to work on self portraits...but at the moment I have no room at home... when I will have....I will ask you some advice... anyway....you look avery day more beautiful... you really look happy, bright... it makes me happy averytime I see your new shots... :-) as fot the bets about baby colours.... one night I dreamt we met at a supermarket (!) and your boy was.... a small version of Markino....blond, curly hair....(don't remember the eyes)

Klo: Giulia, I vote for a 'Markino mini-me' too... of course, I could be wrong. Let's see!
