Pregnancy

I’m 38 weeks pregnant today and the reality of my impending labor is starting to become more apparent! I’m pretty nervous about having to go through the pain aspect of it all again, but I’m excited to meet the new addition to our family. I’ve been trying to shake the nerves by spending some quality…

If you’re my Facebook or Instagram friend you’ve probably already heard the news… Ryan and I have a love child on the way and it’s due THIS MONTH! EEEeeek! We’re so excited to welcome this little bundle sometime around August 27th. We don’t know if it’s a girl or boy yet, and we’re planning a…

A couple of weeks ago I asked my best friend Ashley to snap some maternity pictures of me at my favorite beach on South Padre Island. I was a little nervous being on this side of the camera lens, but I just love how they came out.

Today is ultrasound day! You know what that means!But before I announce the gender, I wanted to go through the Old Wives Tales like last time and see what your guesses are!  The first 10 questions I just copied and pasted from my post about Eva. I think I got them from a quiz online…

Well the upside of experiencing [at least the tail end] of my first real winter is experiencing my first real spring. Cherry blossoms are blooming all over Northern Virginia. I really wanted to head into DC for the festival last week but I never got around to it. As you’ll be able to tell from…

This has been a week with a lot of “firsts” for Eva: her first train ride, her first subway ride, her first trip to the Big Apple, her first ferris wheel ride, and her first bicycle. I’m so nervous about introducing a new baby to the family. I can’t help but wonder how she’ll react.…

I’m absolutely loving the pictures we had taken last month while we were in Texas. We originally planned on taking the photos with my Dad’s red ’57 Chevy, but as luck (and old cars) would have it, it wouldn’t start on the day of the shoot and we couldn’t get it to the beach. I was…

I let Eva run around in the snow this week and she seems to have warmed up to it. She no longer screams when she picks it up and discovers that, unlike sand, it’s freezing. (No, I haven’t bought her any mittens yet… all the winter stuff seems to be off the shelves.) We weren’t…
