During these social-distancing times, we decided to not cancel celebrating life’s milestones, but just being a bit more creative at making them virtual.

We are days away of expecting our second born and being pregnant during quarantine, has definately been very different from our first-born. For our daughter (now 4) we had all our family over for a gender reveal and rented a hall at our favorite golf-course for the baby shower with all our family and friends to celebrate! We also had a beautiful pregnancy photo shoot at the beach. I had big plans when I found out I was pregnant again in January 1st 2020, however, never had I thought I would be spending my whole 9 months in quarantine in the middle of a world pandemic.

One of the things we decided to do at home was the pregnancy photo shoot! My husband was my photographer and my husband and mother helped me put together a beautiful balloon garland using the easy-to assemble Junibel Balloon Garland Kit. It took half the time it would have if we didn’t have the kit! The instructions and everything you need were in the kit, including the pump!

It truly made the difference, our backdrop was festive and matched my belly! I used those photos for the day of our baby-shower (also virtual) to make it look lively and festive. I also took advantage and took photos for my birthday that was days before the babyshower!

Come back soon for our post about my big 36th birthday at home and the virtual baby shower we did live on Faceboook!
