My cousin Russell and his beautiful wife — my “almost-sister” — are expecting their first baby any day now. (Look familiar? They’re the stars of my header! – they were married last year.) Yuko is officially due this weekend, but apparently the baby seems to be pretty happy just chilling out in her tummy for now!

I think posing is built into Japanese people at a genetic level. Girl can work it! If I ever get pregnant, you better believe I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that I look this good when I’m lugging around 9 months worth of preggo tummy.

Thanks so much for being beautiful and patient models for me, guys… I’m waiting by the phone for the call telling me your little girl has arrived!!
