Don't ever apologize! I can speak only for myself (but I also think I can speak for others early on in the process), I LOVE seeing your babies in their home settings and every other time!!! It gives me so much hope for my future baby, so as far as I'm concerned, POST AWAY!!!

Oh Mindy - She is so cute!!!

Thanks for posting. I love her bows and what a beautiful dress. Where do you get her pretty bows? I noticed you have tons of them. I would love to find bows like that. I love the pink background for her pictures too.
