Let me take a moment to introduce you to the stunning Vanessa. We met more than a year ago when she attended one of our Expat Kochen events here in Basel and I knew she was cool from hello yet our friendship didn’t really go any further than casual chat that revolved around food. Fast...
Lol I read the headline before I saw the pic and thought you named your baby girl Vanessa! I'm a dork:)
Beautiful pics by the way
Lookin' good, Vanessa! Erin, I definitely see Vanessa's spirit shining through in these shots.
Here we are with the 41st week photo and as we head into our 42nd week tomorrow we’re feeling…hmmm, how can I put this? Ready. Anxious. Eager. Excited. Nervous. Tired (dare I even admit this, you mamas out there are probably laughing at the irony of what’s to come.) Impatient. Just to name a few....

Well this is it…the last in a beautiful series of photos. Thank you for sharing your pregnancy journey. Time to pop the Eaglet out!
Hmm, I detect a "get on outta here" hands on hips pose! 
As I mentioned before, welcome to the first parenting lesson. You are not (necessarily) in charge! Tee hee! Love you and love being along for the ride.
I've been thinking about you lately and wondering how things are going! Blessings to you in the last precious days! Good luck .

You are so allowed to be tired!! It's hard growing a little human!! I just found out that you had a girl so Congrats!!! I really was thinking boy so what a surprise!! I can't wait to see pics and hear all the details!! Love you!
Woo hoo!! Baby Eaglet! So happy for you! She just wanted to make an overstated entrance into this wonderful world. Probably one of the many times she will make you wait. Love you guys!

Ok, here we are—41 weeks and ever so ready to meet our baby! We had a Hebamma (midwife) appointment yesterday morning where the baby’s heartbeat, movements and my contractions were monitored for half an hour. (Since this little munchkin obviously didn’t get the memo that our due date was Sunday.) Alles gut in there; maybe...

These pictures of you are fabulous! You look beautiful! And I was thinking of you today, wondering if you were having your baby. Soon…!
Gorgeous as ever! We're going to miss seeing these beautiful photos of you, but I'm sure we won't mind umpteen photos of the Eaglet instead. Right there with you in "can't wait!"
Beautiful pregnancy! It is hard on the long distance waiters too! Perchance this little one has a little stubbornness like daddy? Just saying.
beautiful!!!! always beautiful!!!!
So here we are in our 40th week. Still feeling good (for 40 weeks) but getting ever so anxious to meet this little sweetie. This past week has been filled with a slew of firsts, including: Contractions (Braxton Hicks) coming about every 5 minutes—while these aren’t the true labor contractions I’m positive their frequency and...

asa says to hold out to may 29th (it's his birthday and grandpa hammerberg's birthday).
She'll come out when she is good and ready to….right?
Week 39 has been busy. Out of town visitors, baby laundry, one-more-before-baby-arrives coffees and dinners with friends, preparing the hospital bag, picking up last minute baby goods, midwife appointment and finishing up work obligations. Each task completed means one more item crossed off the to-do list, which is comforting. Maybe a little too comforting? I’ve...

Erin, I am just so excited for this baby to be here! I am sure it doesn't compare to your excitement, but none the less. I got on here quickly to see if there were new pics only to realize that it's so stinking close to the baby arriving that I cried! Lol! I am such a dork! I love and miss you guys. I am hoping for you guys that maybe this little baby decides to give you a fabulous first mother's day gift!!
You are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Best wishes!!!!
sending love from NHS!!!!! you look GORGEOUS in that shade of blue!!! I can't wait to see photos of the lil Eaglet!!!!!!! XOXOOXOXOXO!
Not into BABY??? As one of the proud soon to be grammies, I'm thinkin…'How could that ever ever be?' …doesn't everyone know this is the most anticipated, precious beautiful treasured sweet little human ever!! I love the gorgeous pictures Erin, but the sweet text that accompanies them is even more precious…it is a window into the pregnancy experience of my far far away baby. Thank-you dear daughter!

Erin… YOU LOOK AMAZING MAMA!!
Blue is your color… it's gotta be a boy ))

It seems that lately I can’t get enough cold. Cold water (I’m usually a warm water girl), cool breezes, ice cream, iced tea, brisk showers, popsicles. I’m eating popsicles like they’re going out of style. And I find myself constantly taking off clothes to cool down and then putting them back on a few minutes...

I am beside myself with anticipation!!! It is all I talk about at school, well, almost. But needless to say, all of my students know that great things are happen'. Woohoo! I'm going to be a grandma! and my mother will be a great-grandma!!! She is excited too!!!
Erin, you look so beautiful!! Not too much longer!! I definitely had hot flashes but I never craved ice!! The great thing about ice is that you have all you want of it!!
Erin you look fabulous!! I can't wait for the baby to come!! Arabelle thinks it's a girl and is very perplexed by how you made your way to the computer screen. Love you friend!!
Mmm…I love them all, but this round of photos might just be my favorite. Your love for the Eaglet shines through so radiantly in your smile. Glad to know you're so well supported and surrounded by love — and that you're now e-biking it.
