alright! we’re finally making the BIG announcement on the blog! many of you already know, but just so it’s official… WE”RE EXPECTING NUMBER 2!!!!
i’m 16 weeks along, and i’ll be posting pictures every week of the progress! so far it’s been… well… rough. morning sickness and blood pressure have not been my best friends (among many other pregnancy lovelies, that i will not go into detail with on a professional blog!) but other than those minor details, everything has been great! baby is healthy and everything is moving along at a normal, healthy pace. i’m due may 20th, so i will not be booking any weddings or shoots my 9th month, as well as taking a semi maternity leave this summer in june and july, with the exception of the weddings i’m shooting in wisconsin. i am shooting a wedding June 18th (and if you’ve done the math, thats not even a month after i’ve delivered!) but will be tag teaming with Dustin (my second shooter/ that guy that i’m married to/ that one guy who fathers my children) for that wedding, so i can take little breaks to nurse the smallest peanut!
here are the details on the bambino….
we’re going to wait to find out the sex of the baby (because there are so few surprises in life!) because we’ll be happy either way! a brother for tavish, or a little girl for me. and if it’s a girl, well, i guess she’ll be wearing some of her brother’s hand-me-downs for the first few weeks!
he/she’s kicking up a storm… a ridiculous storm. there is a circus in my tummy, and it features somewhere around 10-12 different types of circus animals, all of which come out at different times of the day to perform their stunts of epic proportions.
no food cravings yet, except for milk. and more milk. and please, may i have another glass of milk? WHAT? the gallon is GONE? i bought it YESTERDAY!
and, i’ve lost weight…. but not worried because my appetite is back up and with the holidays putting on weight is NOT going to be a problem.
well, we’re so happy to share this news with all of you! and please, if you’re one of my clients who’s hired me to shoot their wedding this spring, please warn your guests that your photographer indeed is pregnant, and yes, she will STILL be standing on chairs and tables and ladders to get the ideal perspective for certain shots, and there is nothing you can do about it. i will try and be as inconspicuous as i possibly can!
happy almost new years!
