Cheers to the freaking weekend

YAY! It’s officially my weekend! I have to say I am NOT used to working full time. My house is a disaster and there’s only 2 meals in the pantry (for me this is low) and when I feel like I have extra time to do something I want to spend time with by husband or work on Natasha’s wedding details- not to mention the other million to-do’s floating around my head. SO- I’m getting off the wedding train for a minute. So many details are up in the air it’s crazy! I can’t believe the wedding is 4 weeks away, but I’ve got some other exciting things on the back burner. I was planning to throw a Halloween party in a few weeks and in 2 weeks I hope to shoot a few pictures of my friends’ newborn!! She’s SO cute! Remember the baby shower I threw a few months ago? Well baby Amelia has made her appearance and I’ve got a new camera. They were bound to meet sooner or later. Here’s my absolute favorite shots I’m dying to try.

Who wouldn’t want that Santa picture for their annual Christmas cards? Oh and I CAN NOT decide between the suitcase and the basket. They both are sooooo cute! I do want to make a little luggage tag that says “Amelia”” or “Special Delivery” and put a pink bow on her, but we’ll see! And this last one is totally growing on me. At first I didn’t like it, but seriously now I think I’m in love with the shot. I can't wait to see what the parents want. There's even talk of a green screen haha! I’ve heard that baby photos are really difficult to do, but I love babies and I’d like to practice taking photos of someone besides my dogs. Speaking of which-

Don’t you just love him?
I’ll be taking the photos in 8 short days so stay tuned!!

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc...

Fit for a Princess

I know this is kind of bad, but I’m ready for summer to be over. I know, I know. I’m working on being content in the present, but I honestly can’t wait to see my family again (rocking some boots and sweaters wouldn’t be so bad either). I’m off to Denver in September and I’ll be in my hometown in Wyoming for Thanksgiving. I only get to see the family every 3 or 4 months so every time it’s like a special treat. They’re so fun! Speaking of which…I was talking to my sister Tiffany about throwing a birthday party for her daughter (my niece), Kali, while I’m home since Kali’s a November baby. Tiff was down for it, but she also wanted some help in re-decorating Kali’s room and I can’t be any more excited. The idea for the very whimsical reno is to have a tree with some tangible flowers and branches. A dress-up station is also a must. Here’s some inspiration I’ve come across so far… Top to bottom, left to right: Lumme Designs Bed , Fairy Tale Bedroom found at Lyring , Linde Browning D...
