[ginger_55]

Great set, gubbs.

Now that is dedication to photography. Having a baby for the photo ops!

ginger:D

Get crackin" labs! Best photo op you all will ever have.

(I agree on the second photo, something really special, more "expectant" than "pregnant". I would hang, definitely.)

[auraflora]

Wow--


Amazing photos. Such strong imagaes which evoke wonderful emotions.

The best of luck to you.

Good luck to you too!! there's going to be plenty of baby pix round here soon, Simone is due any time now too :D

[gubbs]

Thanks for all the comments. I got Erin to read through too, she's not feeling her best at the moment so the kind words really helped. She was touched :cry

Thanks again, and don't worry Lynn, I'll keep you informed :D

Keep your spirit up Erin, it will all be over only too soon. Then the days will rush by too quickly. You really do look wonderful. When I was 39 weeks couldn't do much but sit around...In fact I got stuck in a bean chair when I was at home by myself...very embarassing:rofl

Can't wait to see pictures of the wee one....Good Luck:D

[Nir]

Hey Gubbs!

A wonderful set!! Makes me want to do it again ... well, maybe not quite. :D

All the best to you guys!!

[ginger_55]

I want to be that age again and have a baby! Loved having babies! Tell your wife to hang on, having babies is wonderful! All the attention you get! Never get that kind of great attention again!

And the photo ops. That is how I learned photography, on my last baby and the toddler, along with the older ones. I HAD photo ops then, could have KPOTD almost every day, smile.

Enjoy it while you can! Good luck and, well, I am jealous!

[Ann McRae]

Lovely series, Jon. Things may seem calm right now, but they will soon speed right up to light speed. Get some sleep, you may need it later.

[Khaos]

My congrats and good thoughts to you.

She's one of those lucky ones. It looks like baby weight gain only.

Congratulations! Beautiful shots, by the way. Wish I was that good a photographer back in the day.

Seems that dgrin has a positive correlation with fertility. Maybe we need to do a study.

The good Karma obviously worked, We had a baby girl at 5:30 this evening, she weighed in at 7lb 8oz. Mum and "Eve" are both doing great and hope to be home in the morning.

Thanks everyone, what a great community this is :clap:clap

Congrats to all of the family!

[Andy]

erin and eve look very happy :clap :clap

congrats jon!

[ginger_55]

AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW! I told you that you were getting a great photo op!

Now you gotta get the nurses to clean up the background a bit, take the water pitcher out. The little people in PS could probably do that. Mom and baby both look wonderful!

good photo, too!

ginger

[lynnma]

Oh gubbsy.. so wonderful :cry what a lovely shot..:cry I'm sooo happy for you all and dear husband says congratulations too:cry

Just wonderful:lust :lust :lust

[Flyinggina]

Congratulations on a job well done. Thanks so much for sharing your photos and for letting us know that Eve successfully made her way into the world. Mom and baby look well content. I'll bet the photographer is too! I'm looking forward to lots of pictures of little Eve as she grows. Best wishes to the Gubbs family.

[Diane S]

These shots are beautiful.. I really like the one with her hand on her tummy with the bear in the background... wonderful moments.

Now I see that you had your beautiful baby girl... what a miracle and awesome moment.

[morrisphotography2003]

Congratulations Gubbshttp://dgrin.com/images/smilies/clap.gif. That is a wonderful picture of Mrs. and baby Gubbs. But with a subject like those two it would be hard to get anything but a spectaular photo. I wish you all the luck in the world with the new family and would like to thank you for including us in this life defining moment for you.

P.S. where's the picture of the happy father holding his newborn girl?

[Nir]

Congratulations Gubbs! Mother and daughter look beautiful together!!

[Jnichols]

so happy for you! I look forward to watching Eve grow up (of course by all the wonderful pictures you'll post of her!). Congrats!

[ehughes]

Congrats you the three of you, don't forget to spoil her rotten. Have you got her first camera picked out yet???:lol3

All the best...

Does'nt it feel like Eve is our digrin baby?:lust

[ginger_55]

Does'nt it feel like Eve is our digrin baby?:lust

I am still back thinking about Gubbs buying her her first camera now. And if she is our baby, well, it wouldn't be too much trouble for me to take "care" of it for her, try out new models, etc. until she is old enough to hold it. Then I would be glad to use a ticket to come to England and watch her shoot photos as a toddler. (I did that with my grandson, in fact, with several grandchildren, they are so proud at that age.........)

The fact of my familiarity, through use, of the camera should only be an asset in the photographic interaction.

Gubbs and mrs Gubbs, you all can photograph Eve taking her first photos.

ginger

[snapapple]

Congratulations Gubbs and Erin. Beautiful pictures of both mother and baby. Keep on posting shots of the baby we we can watch her grow. It's just like being a grandma again, for me.

My son and his wife had a baby boy on September 7 and I have not seen the baby yet. They live in Connecticut and I'm in California. I just keep begging for pictures. I will be making a trip soon.

So, I'm excited for you folks too. I love babies. :lust

[Trish323]

:bday

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl :bday

[LiquidOps]

Does'nt it feel like Eve is our digrin baby?:lustit does... and the sad thing is... she'll probably have a KPOTD AND a DSLR before I do :(

::sigh::

I'm still kind of a lurker here, but I wanted to say congratulations and may you all have a happy, healthy, long life!

Your little Eve is beautiful! :):

P.S. Tell momma Gubbs that she looks really good for having just had a baby!

[gubbs]

Thanks for all the comments, We've been sitting here going through them all. Dgrin is great, I can't imagine getting this warmth from any of the other photo forums...Comments from Australia, South Africa, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, Russia, & I lost count of all the US States...amazing!



We were moved!! :cry :cry

Thankyou

I'll post some pics in a separate thread...

[Angelo]

Wow Gubbs. Three very beautiful shots. Great captures!!!!! :clap

[Jenny]

Erin looks absolutely amazing!!!! She is (well, was) the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen. She looks even more beautiful after baby Eve. You should both feel very proud. Your daughter is breathtaking.:lust I wish you much joy and happiness for the future. Congrats!:clap :clap :clap

[Deadlock]

Hi

I guess I'm a bit of a lurker here too...

I just had to say - very moving pictures.
I think its fantastic that you will be able to look back on an incredible moment in your lives and view it through such incredibly good pictures.
It will forever bring to life the wonder and beauty you experienced the first time round.

But most importantly - congratulations on the birth of your child.
:clap

[TristanP]

Warmest congratualtions, Gubbsy! Now the fun begins...
