just a boring, pictureless update ..

I haven't just written in a while, I feel like there has been so much going on, I have definitely been neglecting my blog. I miss the crafts & baking posts, luckily with the busy season of work slowing down I will be able to catch up on that stuff. Plus, this is the season for all the best kinds of crafts & DIYs.

I guess I'll bore you with some pregnancy updates..

26 weeks along this week.. that sounds so close to 30 .. & that is what I consider in the home stretch to the end ! I find myself getting so anxious to just have this baby, but then I remember that I have an almost 4 year old... so I know I can be patient. I am trying to enjoy just having two children right now, because I know that three will really mix things up! 

Everything has been going pretty good with this pregnancy overall...

 but the beginning was tough.. so tough.. the toughest out of all three pregnancies.

Sick everyday, every minute. After almost being admitted to the hospital, begging my Dr. not to do that to me, I ended up with a Zofran pump... giving me med 24/7 so I could survive.

I made it through. At about 12 weeks on the dot I was feeling better.

I think I am in the "feel good" stage right now.. besides the not sleeping and being exhausted all the time, I am "feeling good".

I am loving my belly, trying to soak up every day of it because I'm just not sure I can do it again.

Baby is kicking and moving around all the time. I officially started getting kicked in the ribs this week.

The best part of all of this is seeing the girls reactions about the new baby.

They definitely both understand whats coming. They love to feel the baby move, especially Maddie, she will sit there patiently waiting to feel a movement & when she does her face lights up.

I know I will have a couple good helpers when baby arrives :)

Hoping that the next three months fly by smoothly.. 

all I ask is that she comes between 37-42 weeks & I have a quick labor.. I hope she is listening ! 

We do have a name picked out & I will post a blog with is soon :)

The only real thing we have started to do to "prepare" for baby is getting the big girls in new beds & redoing their room... not even really for the baby haha.

I can't wait to finish & share how cute it looks! I have way too many ideas.. thanks to Pinterest.

Work has been very consistent, every time I think I'm getting ahead, I find myself having more & more to do.. that is good though right? What am I going to do with myself when I am not shooting this winter?! I have a few more shoots this year, then I will be back at it in the Spring of next year. I love seeing my 2012 calendar filling up already!

I of course am so excited for the holidays this year, 

always with the girlies the holidays are so much better. 

I love Thanksgiving with family & friends, obviously good food. 

But my favorite is Christmas time- seeing the joy on my girls faces & of course being with family & obviously eating then too :)

Hopefully that doesn't sound like one big rant, but just thought I would share a little more than usual.

Be back soon friends !
