Maternities






It was so great to be able to take Delilah's maternity photos...
I am almost more excited about her pregnancy than mine! 
You see she only has 1/2 a uterus which has made it impossible for her and her husband to be able to carry a pregnancy through. 
She has had miscarriages but they never believed she would be able to sustain a child with her condition. Understanding the fate of this they have 3 beautiful children they have adopted...
2 are tribal babies like her husband 
and their last lil cutie who they were told was Native American 
actually ended up being a blonde little heartthrob :0). 
I met this little family through my sister and took their pix last summer 
with an amazing brown couch in a field-loved those. 
I was super surprised when my sister told me Delilah was preggo 
and then very concerned when she told me the baby had like a 5% chance of survival. 
She and I are due around the same time and 
I couldn't imagine the heartbreak they were preparing themselves for. 
The doctors told her is she could make it to 26 weeks (I think it was) 
that the baby would have a good chance of survival. 
Each month they waited and sure enough she made it through her first trimester (huge risks), 
then her second, 
and now she is almost all done! 
There are still risks with her last trimester, 
but the baby will be healthy at any point from here on out and 
I couldn't be more excited for them to welcome little Jasper Wolf into their super cute family
Thanks so much Delilah for letting me capture your amazing pregnancy and I can't wait to see that handsome lil guy!
