6 lbs 10 oz of the most yummiest thing you could imagine.

We. Are. Smitten.

37 weeks

No timer was set.
No Chichi behind the glass laughing at my feet.
Just an amazing friend with a beautiful talent for photography.








Thank you Heather for doing what photos do best and freezing some time for me. I will be forever grateful that I swallowed my pride and had them done. They are just lovely.


To 38 weeks, and beyond! (maybe)

The previous posted picture was taken with a timer. But the rounder I get the harder it is to move fast enough to catch the shutter! So I enlisted a guest photographer this time.



I am so impressed with her work. Wow,what an eye.


The only downer is...


Totally and very weirdly unprofessional.

So I snatched the camera away and huffed "Let's see how you like it!"



She liked it.

The End.

P.S. Thank you millions to all of my sweet friends who commented on the last post. I will love you forever. Almost as much as I love black shirts that hide every thing.

There is nothing that makes you feel more sophisticated than buying a van and breast pads in the same trip. Move over, I'm coming through.

christmas

Today I fell asleep in the middle of the hallway while my sweet husband finished bathing the girls and then tucked them in bed.

I will clearly never fully understand Mary's sacrifice to bring Christ to all of us. But this Christmas I cherish the reality that I too am tired, and round, and loving a precious little one who makes me so.

And I love, love the fact that my children can make that connection too.

slow and steady

It has been on my list FOREVER to put these photos up. I love these families, and the neglect doesn't correlate with the percentage of love that I feel. Swear.

It does, however, correlate with the percentage of round-ness in the mid section.

If you know what I mean.







What a special experience to work with this family and their sweet little V.

today

With tears and a hidden face in my shirt:

"Moms are much more better than friends."

Be still my over hormoned heart.

I love. This. Girl.
