28 weeks!

I'm behind on my weekly update, but since I'm at the beach this week I have an excuse :)  We're having a wonderful time here, I don't think I will be ready to come home on Saturday! I'll post all about our vacation later of course; just wanted to say I am still around!

7 months-wow! I feel great- almost better than ever minus a little heartburn and back pain :)  Every morning I wake up and feel so lucky to have my little girl nudging me. Loving every minute. (at least for now!)

Catch up with everyone soon!

Birthday Girl Photoshoot

As mentioned in my last post I had the opportunity to take a friends daughters' first birthday photos!

Baby T was a little camera shy...


that is, until she was given a cupcake to devour!


and then it was all smiles :)


Isn't she just so cute?!


Happy First Birthday Taylor!

Weekend Catch Up!

An eventful couple of days...

Friday we went to my sonogram! Addison is as cute as ever. It makes me so anxious to meet her after seeing her on the screen! Afterwards we went out to a delicious lunch at Coastal Flatts and did a little shopping! Addison got a hooded towel and bath toy from Pottery Barn. Hubby and I both got new flops for the beach! We were celebrating our second anniversary, which was Monday the 20th!

Saturday we went to the Nationals game! It was HOT so we hardly sat in our seats, but we walked around the stadium and had a good time. Plus they won! 

these shots are from my lovely point and shoot, which is on its last leg!

Father's Day we spent time with both our families. It was a great day.

And finally, I did a little girl's first birthday photos! It was a lot of fun. This is one of my favorites! 

more of her cuteness to come!

27 Weeks

This photo was actually 26 weeks, 4 days. I have been pretty busy and haven't taken an official 27 week photo yet. We had a an eventful weekend celebrating our anniversary and fathers day. We're also packing up to go to the beach on Saturday for a week! I'm so excited to put my toes in the sand, go swimming, and eat lots of yummy food! 

Helllooo summer!

I'm editing a bunch of photos from the weekend and from a photo shoot of a little girl who is turning one! They're almost finished so I'll be back soon to share! Plus, I have a new sonogram photo of our little girl! 

Meanwhile, could you please take a quick second and vote for my photo over at Live Every Moment? I am thrilled it made top 3! Thanks!!

My Best Shot

I have a few favorites from recent shoots so it was hard to pick a winner. In the end I chose this one because I love the simplicity, the color, clarity, and her sweet little face. Such a pure moment with her mom.

Wish me luck!

And just because, here are some others I considered.

25 Weeks & The Bare Bump Progression

The First Trimester

and the Second Trimester (so far!)

I really didn't start 'showing' until 20 weeks!

25 weeks!


25 weeks and feeling good! Addison is still an active little girl! There have been times I just sit in astonishment as my belly is jumping around and being pushed out in spots from an elbow, butt, or foot. It's incredible. I woke up hubby this morning to watch her, she's starting to give a show :) According to Babycenter, she is approx. 13 1/2 inches head to toe and 1 1/2lbs! I can't wait to see her again...10 days!
