my holiday
It officially feels like Christmas! Today is Ty’s first day of holiday from school for a fabulous 15 days!! I love it, having him home, fixing the kids breakfast together, watching them snuggle first thing in the morning and the best part, I get to sleep at least an extra 30-40 minutes a day. I totally dig that. An extra thirty minutes to a pregnant woman is like 2 hours to someone else! LOL! And no standing out in the driveway waiting on the school bus in the dark, freezing cold. No homework battles, no folders to sign, no remembering to send in lunch money. Hmmmm, the way I talk you’d think his time off school was about meeee! 😉 […]

Thank you all SO MUCH for all your wonderful comments for Calla’s birth slideshow! I can’t even begin to tell you how great it makes me feel that they moved you and to hear the images made you feel like you were there, were moved to tears, or brought you back to your own birth experience, is the best compliment EVER! Thank you!!!!! And I’ve gotta give props to Anne Marie….I’m sure it’s not easy to allow yourself to be photographed while you are in pain and in such a vulnerable state. But then to let all of us in blog world share in their experience, that rocks! Jase and I are still undecided if we will have the birth […]

I’m still amazed I got to witness the birth of this beautiful baby girl….isn’t she just perfect? I just finished proofing all the images and can’t wait to show Anne Marie! Here are a few more favorites…
Calla
I got the call from my friend Anne Marie this morning to be on standby because she believed she was in active labor and it was time for her to head to the hospital. She decided to give it another hour. When that hour was up I got another call, she and Bryan were in the car on the way to the hospital! Yay!!! I grabbed my camera and took off. Calla arrived at 2:36 pm and weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz. Mommy and baby are doing great! I am still reeling from the day and beyond honored that they asked me to photograph their daughter’s birth. It was such an amazing experience. I can’t wait to […]

It’s been a crazy couple of days! We had an ultrasound this week, I’d love to share photos of our little guy but we don’t own a scanner. I wonder if a photo of a photo would work?? Our ultrasound tech was pretty rude, and at one point I think Jason thought I was going to take her sonogram wand off my belly and tell her to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, but I refrained. I wanted to see more of our little guy and tried to ignore her. We got to see his little profile, he had the hiccups during part of the ultrasound and we got a great show of him reaching down playing with his […]
