The truth is good, bad or indifferent these are the last weeks we have as a family of four. There was a time when it was just three of us and before that just my husband and me. However, the ending of this specific chapter, just us and the girls seems more bittersweet. More changes have to happen. Hannah and Savannah will be...

Sample Birth Plan: Courtesy of The Bump (click to download PDF) It’s not a secret that cesareans are “easier”. Yes, the recovery sucks but in all honesty those who chose to or have to have this type of birth are given an exact date. We don’t have to sit around waiting for a baby to pop out or go into labor.

We are so close you guys! It's been such a process of feeling like I've been pregnant forever, but I guess that happens when you find out at like 3 weeks ha! It’s time to start buckling down and “nesting”. The remaining things we needed to schedule them closer to Trip’s potential due date (November 21st) as possible. Speaking of due date, that's...

O-M-Freaking-G! I am in love with the pictures I just got from my Maternity Shoot with April Rose Photography!! I mean, I don't think I could wait another minute to post them...I'm that obsessed!  The burgundy against the greenery in the park is insane and April did an amazing job of capturing me.  I'm not the "look at the camera" kinda gal.  I...

This is Ruby, the daughter of one of the mom's in my mommy group.  She's so sweet and full of life; and when she turned 12 months her mom asked me to take some photographs of her for family.  I procrastinated but we finally got them done!  She looks awesome and I'm pretty happy with the outcome!  For my first attempt at novice...
