10 weeks and counting

[The following is from my blog: http://littlemisssandhu.blogspot.co.uk]

I used to blog all the time.

Those of you who used to follow my 365 project will know this, and of my interest in photography and desire for daily improvement. For those of you who don't know about my previous blog, its aim was to capture a decent photo every day throughout one year, but I ultimately failed with less than 50 photos to go. I was knocked out with a virus which meant I missed a few days' photos, and a new job left me little time to continue. But I still occasionally upload photos on my Flickr site; usually though, it's photos from paid work.

So why am I here again? Well, a lot's happened since this time last year. I got promoted at work, I got married, and, well... let's just say that we're expecting a honeymoon baby! It's been a whirlwind and I have, as the title suggests, 10 weeks to go until my little girl is due (on 3 June).

So what's the purpose of this blog? My aim is to take a photo as often as possible (I'm not committing to one a day right now!) and document the weeks ahead, as my little munchkin is in the final quarter of her gestation period. And then, the time around the birth and our baby's first days, weeks and months will also be highlighted here as this life-changing experience unfolds. I'll also take photos of other stuff too; not just baby shenanigans!

For the gear-heads: I am still using a Canon 7D. I aim to replace my 15-85mm lens with Canon's fabled 24-105mm 'L' lens soon. I'm also in ownership of a Fuji X100, which frustrates and delights in equal measure, but is oh-so gorgeous to look at! And finally, I'll probably use my Samsung Galaxy Note too when neither camera is to hand.

And now my first photo.

What else did you expect?!

Fuji X100, f/2, 1/60, ISO-1600
Ohhhhhhhhh ..... that's looks so tight. The process of growing a baby is mind boggling sometimes. Strange to think of someone inside growing and moving around. AWESOME photograph!

Yo Vik... That's great news mate... congrats to you both & hope everything goes well.... Good idea to capture these moments too for a record in years to come...

Great bump shot and congratulations!!!! I was in exactly your shoes last year... I had a good start at my 365 project (didn't make it quite as far as you did however), then once I discovered I was pregnant I could never find the time to keep it up and only posted very occasionally. After my baby girl was born, I was taking far too many pictures of babies and didn't want to bore everyone with non-stop baby photos. I only got back into my project very recently, when daughter was 8 months old.
Anyway all to say welcome back, and I look forward to following you & seeing you little bundle in due course :)

@andycoleborn Hey Andy! Lila was born on my birthday, 17 May! How are you anyway? I'm thinking about creating a new account and starting afresh...

@vikdaddy Hey mate that's fantastic news... many, many congrats to you both, hope you are all doing well... Life is ok my end - both too old for a kid of our own :-)... But talking about adopting a girl from Indian in a year or two - many abandoned so if we can do something to help at least one child it wouldn't be a bad thing eh....

@andycoleborn That would be a brilliant thing to do... see you on my new account, although i'll keep checking back here now and then

Hey Vik, congrats on the new addition! Nice to see you on here it's been a while for me too. I moved back to the US and am enjoying the new location of Colorado. Hope all is/goes well with the newborn. Cheers
