we’re having a baby!


baby announcement 1
Surprise!! We are having another baby! Yes, you read that right. Yes, our lives will be crazy. (Did I say will be?) Our lives are already crazy. But you can be sure it’s about to get crazier.

I’m almost 9 weeks along and the baby is due in October. I had an ultrasound the other day and, much to my relief, saw a little flicker of a heartbeat. One of the best sights/sounds.

Back in December I saw this tutorial for balloon letter pillows. I thought it was such a fun project and was just trying to dream up a word to make. And then, well, I found out I was pregnant so I just had to make the word “baby.” My pillows are really wonky and more like the off brand version of something good. But I still love them and think they’ll be really fun to have around.

Anyway, I hope you all can join us in celebrating! I’ve really been nervous about announcing because I’ve been afraid there will be some negative responses. But I realized I can’t be afraid of what people think. I am carrying a great gift and I think he/she is a blessing! **but with my track record, it’s probably a boy!

And the best part of all? I’m pregnant at the same time as my two best friends. So within 6 months, we’ll all have brand new babies 🙂

whimsical maternity photos


For many, many months, Rachel and I have been talking about doing some sort of whimsical/woodland type of photoshoot. She went off and got engaged/married and has been super busy but we were finally able to squeeze in a fun little photo session a couple of weeks ago. 
 
Since I was 35 weeks along, I ended up with some fun maternity shots. Rachel did an amazing job, as always. Her model was a little hard to work with though 😉 
 
I just wanted to share a few before the baby arrives!

Thanks, Rachel, for a fun night out and some special memories!!
And as soon as I get the chance, I will be sharing the pictures that I took that night. I had a gorgeous model to work with!
