1. I’m feeling human again. Thank you 2nd trimester for being kind. I shouldn’t complain though, this is the first pregnancy that I haven’t been horribly sick for months on end. All I really have to complain about is the exhaustion. I’m thankful to have enough energy to actually be productive during the day AND stay up past 7 pm. My husband is very thankful for this. He’s been covering me with house duty, kid duty, dinner duty, etc. for months now. Thank God for good nutrition, it kept me from being sick. Truly, food is so amazing.

2. As predicted, the first trimester destroyed my daily image taking and 365 project. I’ve barely picked up my camera except for work. […]

I win.

My husband is in denial. About several things, but mostly about his little girl. It occasionally makes him start to twitch, ha! I used to be that way with Ty, but I’m accepting it much better as the age of almost 15 than Jase is with Taryn at almost 7. So anyway, Jase hurried down the hall and propped himself up on the door frame to my office tonight:

J: Did you know that Taryn knows all the words to a Taylor Swift song?!
Me: Yes. And she thinks boys are cute too honey.
J: NO SHE DOESN’T! She’s just confused.
Me: No, she really does think boys are cute.
J: Oh yeah, well Ty has a girlfriend! HA! (in his best, take that!, tone)
Me: […]

my fabulous mess

This girl is my fabulous mess. I have a slew of these to edit, but need to catch up on client galleries and ordering first. She’s looking SO much healthier since we took her out of school. I have had some people ask how homeschool is going. It’s going GREAT. I love it, they love it, our lives are so much less stressful. I worried about adding yet another thing to my already full plate, but truly, it has allowed us to slow down in so many other ways, life is much more simple now. And that simplicity gives me more time that I can […]

I’m glad I was busy.

The other night I was tucking Taryn in to bed and listening to her read me a story when I realized that it was really quiet in the house. I went looking for Jase who was supposed to be getting Teagan ready for bed. I turned the corner and saw this….Daddy soaking up his little man. Teagan climbed up in to his lap and crashed. I asked if he was coming and he said, “yeah, in a bit, I never get to just sit and enjoy this…”. He’s right, Teagan usually chooses me to sit and snuggle with at the end of the day. But on this night, I was busy […]

No, no, no….I’m not hungry, I’m pregnant hungry.

The other night Jase burned part of dinner. The filling part. The part I worked hard on. We also had some fish, but not a lot, I bought it for when Ty was gone but Ty was back in town so it wasn’t going to go that far, and a small salad. We all left the dinner table still hungry. But there wasn’t a lot of food in the house, we have been super busy and hadn’t made it to the store lately and nothing sounded good to me. So I just went to bed. And the next morning I got up early to go to a session. I didn’t have time to do my normal morning anti-morning sickness routine […]

1. On Friday I was thinking of posting a good old Flashback Friday. I went searching and 4 years ago I posted this: little things Wow, lots of little things are about to change again. But in such a different way. Different clothes, cloth diapers instead of disposables, no Tylenol (it’s horrible for the liver), yes lots and lots of things we’ll be doing differently this go around. I can’t wait for all the little things that a new baby brings in to the house, so fun!

2. The Just Label It campaign that I wholeheartedly support is in full swing. During this campaign, Taryn’s photograph holding her “I am not a science experiment” sign has been featured […]
