Just keeping it real...

Well, we are almost 38 weeks and I am feeling oh so ready. To be honest I am not uncomfortable and not sitting watching the clock tick. Carsyn keeps us incredibly busy and entertained so really no time for all of that. I am just ready to meet my little guy and start this next stage of life. My house and kitchen were perfectly clean about a week ago but now I am staring at a filthy kitchen, a living room with a trail of saltine crackers from the couch all the way back to Carsyn's room (whose could they be?!) and loads and loads of toys thrown around. All results of life with a two year old, no dishwasher and a very pregnant mama.

I am so ready for my mom to be here! She told me today that I couldn't have him yet because I hadn't had my burst of energy to clean. Really, i've had it, but nothing stays clean so I am throwing in the towel.

Today I had one of those moments that I just had to blog. Any lady out there that has ever had a baby or even been to the OB for that matter can relate. Rewind about 7 months to our first doctors appointment for Cruz. You know the internal sonogram appointment where they confirm that you are indeed pregnant. Well, I was all out giddy at this appointment. Drew and I had gone back and forth for months about getting pregnant and we could never come to the conclusion of when a good time would be. Of course, how it always happens the Lord took the reigns and decided when we needed to be pregnant.

Anyways, I was so excited to have another little one and for Carsyn to be a big sister I could hardly stand it. When we went into the room the nurse handed me a pink rectangle/square like piece of paper. I am sure she said "bottoms off" like she does now but I guess that went in one ear and out the other. So I excitedly go into the very tiny nook and I come out with more than just bottoms off with this square/rectangle thing around me. Drew looks at me and just BURST into laughter and asks, WHY ARE YOU FULLY UNCLOTHED?!?! Immediately I realize what I've done turn purple/red and run back in to put on my top before the doctor comes in. I guess I was just so excited about seeing the doctor!

Today I was in that same room, trying so desperately to get my boots and jeans off to put that square/rectangle thing around me. At this point in my pregnancy it most definitely does not fit around my body (am I alone in this???, anyone, please?!?!) and I hear the doctor coming in and immediately Carsyn pulls back the curtain and asks her usual, Mommy, what cha doing?!? Ohhh you know, just GETTING DRESSEd... but really seriously, what is he going to see that he hasn't seen before but oh my goodness I was so embarrassed.

I really do love going to the OB (when I am pregnant) I mean, who wouldn't. It's the only time that its all about You and you just feel pampered almost. Although a visit to the spa or a massage would be nice...

Sorry for the random story but I just had to share.

Anyways, this is probably my last post on this blog because I am just finishing up designing my new blog!! Woohoo! I finally got a professional blog... trust me... it was time! I will post a link to it when it is all ready for its reveal!

I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! A little I Phone Photo update for ya!

oh yes, this is already gone ;)

Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

My wonderful brother and sister gave up their normal Thanksgiving Tradition and flew out to see me and my little family! My brother and I cooked a full on Thanksgiving Meal (of course I forgot to take photos) BUT I did get some great photo memories of the two of them with my little princess!!

We are 34 weeks pregnant which means baby boy Cruz could be here anytime within the next 6 weeks! We actually are being induced in 5 weeks sooo he will be here soon!! I really should blog more! Maybe I will start when baby boy gets here and work slows down... yeah right!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

29 weeks... WHAT??

An I Phone Update...
I haven't pulled my real camera out lately to take photos of our life but I DO have several I Phone Photos! So, I thought I would do a little update just incase anyone still reads this blog ;)

We have been busy busy busy wrapping up our 2010 weddings, shooting tons of Holiday Photos and meeting with brides for the 2011 season!! Lots of things to get in order before I take off 3 months to have our little boy!! Anyways, here is an update in photos...

My parents came out for a week and we had so much fun!! Carsyn wanted to wear glasses like my dad (and those are definitely 3D glasses)

Carsyn and I went to Trader's the other day to buy some yogurt and we stumbled upon all of this Fall Cuteness!! This is about the full extent that I have decorated this Fall Season ;0)
I have an obsession with little girl shoes lately!! I got my TOMS email today and almost fainted when I saw these!! I am justifying buying them since her Birthday just passed!

It's been raining lately and Carsyn came running into the kitchen tonight telling me she was ready to go outside!
WOOOAAA!! That's my 29 week belly! I cannot believe we are 10 weeks out!! My doctor said he would induce on December 31st if he hasn't come yet!! But, he is a big ol' boy so we shall see!
My incredibly goofy girl wearing her MiMi's glasses! (can you tell that she has an obsession with dressing up?! Hats, glasses... ect.)
My mom was in for a few nights before my dad got here so Drew and I took advantage of a free baby sitter and went on a date! Wow, sorry I didn't fix my hair or put on make-up babe ;) love you
I was nominated to compete in a Best of the Bay Photographers competition for our county so this is me going to my presentation!! Not my thing at all but I definitely enjoyed it!!!

Ok, I think that's it!! Maybe I will update again before Cruz gets here!

Vacation In Texas!!

I took a week off to visit my family and to photograph one of my best friends wedding. (so really I guess i didn't take the week off, haha, but it has been nice)
But we are enjoying this time with my family since we wont get to come visit again until MARCH when there are 4 of us!!! Crazy!!

We love our MiMi

Look @ her cute little bun, I love it!!
