Could she be ready for the Aussie? Or maybe a bit too ambitious?
We see what Elina has accomplished after a normal delivery. I haven't seen anything to imply Naomi didn't have a normal vaginal delivery. When you have a C-section your abdominal muscles are cut and have to repair themselves so restrengthening your core takes longer and is more difficult.

Personally I'd like her to wait until IW but I'm not a super competitive athlete.

It kind of takes away the element of surprise, right?
Although: those pictures could have been taken with a good telephoto. So maybe the photographer was not close to them.

it's not uncommon for someone planning a proposal to hire a photographer or get a friend to follow clandestinely.

A friend of mine did this in a corn maze, and it backfired spectacularly. His girlfriend did eventually say yes, but she was supremely unhappy with the way it went down.

first of all, it is a very private moment, secondly, by recording it, or asking in a public forum like a party or stadium, you are assuming the answer will be yes.. any woman would be insulted.. wouldnt she? I wonder what the women here think
Although I must say I think the whole presumption that it is the guy who has to ask, and the woman who has to say yes or no, seems a bit archaic.. i know many cases where the woman proposed or, at least, brought up the subject first.. (not in my case, though)
