Baby girl Dasha was born this Tuesday, August 21st!

My sister is a real trooper and the labor went very fast. Dasha is such a sweet baby and I love her so much already! I can�t wait to meet her when I�ll visit my family in October!

I am happy to share with you a few of the first official portraits taken by my sister :)

You can see Ira’s maternity pictures here.

As many of you may already know, my sister Ira is expecting a baby. My family lives in St. Petersburg, Russia and it’s difficult to be so far away from them during this time. To keep me updated they send new pictures to me every couple of weeks. With each additional set I notice big and amazing changes in my sister.

Here are a few latest pictures taken by my talented mom. I cannot believe that we’ll meet the baby in less than a week now!

While some of you may already know, I think a real announcement is in order. This particular announcement is about 33 weeks old now and still very tiny. :) My sister Ira is expecting which means I’m about to become an aunt!!

My whole family is very excited and we just can’t wait to meet the baby. My dad, who is still very young, is having a hard time getting comfortable with the title of grandpa. There’s a Russian joke that says “…while it’s alright to become grandpa, it sucks to have to go to bed with grandma!” :)

We are pretty sure it’s going to be a girl and I can’t seem to stop buying her summer dresses – they are all super cute! It’s usually cold in Saint Petersburg though and the baby might not even need ‘em.

It’s getting so very close now. Stay tuned for lots and lots of pictures as soon as the baby arrives!

Ira got married just this spring and you can read more about it here.
