In 2014, I will be participating in #tbt courtesy of the Epson Expression Premium XP-810 Small–in–One printer, the ultimate choice for scanning and printing. Ultra powerful and ultra slim, it produces stunning borderless photos and documents quickly and affordably. Featuring the ultimate in wireless printing, the XP-810 makes it easier than ever to print from your iPad, iPhone, tablet or smartphone, whether in your home or out and about.
Today’s throwback is actually “Part II” of #ThrowbackThursday #tbt: The Second Wedding. It seems that weddings are good luck in my family; every time a loved one celebrates a sacred union, we also celebrate an itty bitty baby.
August 2009. Remembering the marriage of my brother and sister-in-law, here’s a picture of me and my mom, waiting our turn in the round-robin of professional family photos. My husband snapped the pic and later remarked that there was something off about my face.
“I don’t know,” he said. “It looks fuller. Kind of brighter. It’s like you’re glowing.”
Turns out, there are three people in this photo: my mom, myself… and a tiny little miracle we now call Reid.
Of course, the difference is that I wasn’t trying to hide a pregnancy here – I had no idea I was knocked up! And yes… I may have had a glass of wine or two… but I assure you, Reid turned out perfectly!
You look supercallafragalisticexpeialadosiously good this this picture.
Thank you Nicoline!!
Beautiful! Love the dress you’re wearing as well.
Thank you Jaime!
Also, im kind of impressed that you’re husband was able to point it out that he noticed something different!
I know, he’s really observant! Well, I suppose my face was a bit fuller, but I just chalked it up to PMS… I guess I was wrong!
You looked great in this photo! Kudos to hubby for being so observant!
Thanks Judy! Yep – he definitely picked up on a few subtle differences. I should nickname him ClearBlue!
beautiful you have very good genes
Aw, thank you Chandra!
Both of your dresses matches your moms gorgeous eyes!
They certainly do! I’m a carbon copy of my dad – let me tell you, it would have been nice to inherit her baby blues! But I got her… um…. nope, I’m all my dad :)
You look gorgeous Lena and I love your dress!
Thank you Marissa!
Gorgeous photo! :)

Isn’t it amazing how that “glow” just happens. Nice picture.
Agreed – one of nature’s best things :)
I can definitely see the glow but then you are always glowing in your pictures. Lovely picture.
Too kind! Thank you Tricha.
A photo of two beautiful women :) Love it. And you can definitely see the “glow” in the photo – not only is your hubby very observant, he is a great photographer too ;)
Thank you Flora! I love looking at my “glow” :)
Yup, I can totally see what your hubby was referring too! I noticed that extra “glow” to your face before even reading the post!!! Lovely photo btw :)

Aw, thank you Melinda! And I hope I have a chance to wear that dress again – I quite like it too!
Funny how people can actually see a glow from a pregnant woman.They do say a baby is one of lifes miracles, the most precious piece of gold in the world! Hence the glow :) A friend of the families daughter just gave birth and didn’t even know she was pregnant, funny to see this post this afternoon. You ladies look stunning by the way :)
That’s a great way to describe the glow, Jason! Love it!
