Memory lane

Sitting here looking through my photos and I feel I want to share some with you. I must say being pregnant with Nemo was a wonderful journey and to see the photos of me, I remember how I was "glowing" from within thanks to him, even these last photos when I was full of liquid. Still feeling light and happy. The first two photos are from the delivery room;=)


And now I am glowing when he is here, all the time. Gives me such joy every day;=)

Sleep well everyone!

  2. Oh, you have a Louis Vuitton bag? I have been craving for one for many years but they are so expensive! Maybe after saving money for five years I can afford to buy one little tiny LV bag.. I'm not bitter at all as you can see.. :D

    I gotta say that you really had the glow that pregnant women have. You look so "fresh" in those pics. And that dress is just beautiful! Almost like a wedding gown :)

    It's nice to see that even though you were pregnant you still kept on wearing those kind of trendy Anette-like clothes. For example in that first pic you have that "bling-bling" belt. Of course there's nothing wrong if someone wears not-trendy clothes during pregnancy :)

  3. Good evening Anette! The pics i like more are the first and second. The most beautiful thing for one woman is to have a child, i guess it not to be a greatest joy. In these pics you look amazing and in great shape!

    Sleep well too! Good night dear!

    Big hugs

  8. Anette this has made me look through my pregnancy photos too, and brought back all that emotion of the journey and the birth.
    It is the most amazing and magical journey and experience a women can go through.
    Thinking back to feeling the first kick and listening to the heartbeat to this little miracle was the single best thing in my life.
    Being excited, scared and nervous at the same time.. an 14 months later I have this little giggling man climbing on everything who runs at you at full speed to give you a hug.
    Never can you feel such love and bond with anything other than your children.

    Thank you so much for sharing these images of your special time. They warm my heart

    Love
    Carol

  10. Hey Anette;=)

    Oh my gosh, girl, even when you were pregnant
    you still had amazing style!
    Seriously, your outfit in the delivery
    room and that pinkish/salmon dress are both
    really awesome looking clothes.
    You sure were a happy and stylish
    pregnant woman, weren't you?;=)

    I can definitely tell that you were in
    a good mood during your pregnancy,
    and I'm so happy for you and your family.

    Sleep well! I'm seeing the new
    Harry Potter movie at midnight tonight, then
    going to school in the morning, hihi;=)

    Hugs and love, Katie T.

  23. Good Morning Anette! (since I assume you'll see this in the morning ;) ).

    I must say, you are one beautiful pregnant woman! Your style is so chic and awesome, I love it. I especially love that pink dress, it's gorgeous :). Thanks for sharing these photos! I know when you were pregnant with Nemo you said you weren't going to, so it's very special to us that you would share them later ^_^;.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your family and little Nemo. Actually, there is a movie called "Little Nemo," look for it if you've never seen it, I watched it as a kid and loved it. Perhaps Nemo will enjoy it in a few years :).

  35. Hi,
    i don't know in which exactly part of your body you were full of liquid cuz i can't see it:) You didn't gain much weight. I really like the top you wear on first two photos. And just love the dress, that color suits you perfectly also it's in good size not too tight nor loose.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Many thanks to you for sharing this private moment!
    You look "in peace" in those photos, espcially on the first and the second!
    But, something is different on your face here! Hope you didnt take it in the wrong way cause of course is not my intent =) ! It's like your face is a bit swollen... Am I right or not?
    I only talk about your face cause your body, arms etc... are the same as when you weren't pregnant! =)

    Love & Hugs and again thanks for this big surprise! I never thought you to post this kind of photos!!! You're so nice, as always!

  37. Hi Anette,

    These are really beautiful photos! Can you tell us how took place the delivery please? You spoke to us about natural methods.

    Huges!

    Laetitianne

  38. Océane: Hi! I got preclampsia which makes the whole body swollen so that is why I look like that;=) Take care!

    Laetitianne: Hi! I wanted to give birth naturally since my delivery with Seth ended in an emergency cesarean section, so they tried to start the delivery with a technique called the balloon technique. Had that for a whole day with lot of pain and contractions but didnt get it started enough, so the next thing was to put a gel to start it. Also tried that for one day and actually had labour aches and contractions the whole time like a natural delivery but as with Seth, my contractions are just "fake" and just painful without doing anything. I just open 4 cm and then its a stop;=( So they said I cant deliver naturally and we did a planned c-section this time which went really well;=) If I will have one more child I will get a planned c-section from the start cause they now know that I cant deliver naturally. But I have tried both times so I have felt it and that makes it easier to accept this. Take care;=)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Thank you very much for your answer! ;-)
    You are very brave. I don't think that I can support all this pain! In France, a lot of delivery is by c-section and we are the champions of the epidural!

    Take care too! ;-)

  42. Thanks for your answer! =)
    So you see some fans know you, your face etc and some details by heart! =) We see when things change!
    Hope it didn't fear you! ^

    By the way, did you take "a lot" of weight with your pregnancy or not ? (I understand if you want to keep that secret!)
    Your body looks normal if we forget your sweety belly =)! I was impressed when you posted pics about 1 months after the birth!

    Did you have any secrets or you just ate health foods ?

    Love & Hugs!
    Time to bed now! Sweets dreams to you all!

  43. *Talking about your reply to Laetitianne (c-section etc), I also want to say you are are a great woman and mother. You give love everywhere! You deliver love everywhere: here in the blog, whenever you sing, when you cook, when you give birth to children. I also do hope you will have lots more children!
    I also believe you have been rewarded in a way, with your 2nd pregnancy, after that moment of trouble in the end of 2008 NW tour. Your prayers and hidden wishes were welcomed;=),you had faith.
    I remember you wrote in your blog about dreams and things that can happen if you strive to accomplish them;=) You were really happy, with candles and angels sourrounding you... now I suppose happyness was actually due to Nemo which were growing inside of you!

    So, Anette, as you say:
    Anything is possible and I believe it too.

    Thank you for always encouraging our dreams too!!!!!!!

    *hugging you*,
