Tick Tock.

As I sit here waiting for over 900 wedding photos to export I am feeling and thinking so many things! I thought I would share them with you while I wait :) One, I am super excited that I finished my last wedding before my next one this sunday. Two, I am tired! I need to go to bed. Three, my baby is making my nauseous...and I can't wait for this first trimester to be over about 2.5weeks!!! Four, now that photography work is done for the week, I can get my house ready for the sitter that is coming to take care of our baby skittles and watch our house while we go on vacation. Five, I really need to pack! On saturday we are leaving for Santa Cruz to shoot a wedding! Hooray! We are staying a few extra nights and making it a vacation and I seriously CANNOT WAIT. The last real vacation we went on was our honeymoon over 3 years ago! Six, this week some big things happened in prego land...I am starting to show...a little! People are even noticing which means I really am! In result a couple things happened. One, it means our baby is growing, yay! Two, my clothes are starting not to fit :( Time to buy some maternity clothes! So those are my thoughts for tonight. Look out for some awesome Santa Cruz Wedding photo sneak peeks next week! You won't want to miss those! Thanks for reading!!! :)

Growing my baby :)

Shame on me! It's been over a month since I last blogged!!! So sorry it's been so long:( I seriously feel like I've been in a daze for about the last month. And I believe this is due to the fact about a month ago we found out we are pregnant!!! This is just about the most exciting, amazing thing to happen to us:) It's truly a blessing and I still can't believe it! With that said I have been a little off my game, getting use to all these new changes.

There is so much you go through when your prego, that is new and exciting and challenging. I'm learning to balance all these new changes and manage my new time schedule. I was talking to someone the other day and I feel I finally summed up what is going on...I have no longer have control over the things I once did. My little baby inside me know runs the show,lol. I have been loving being prego, knowing our little child is growing in me...but it definitely has some challenges. I've heard in the second trimester you gain back sooo much energy and I am looking forward to that! I feel like most my days have been consumed with: eating every 2 hours (to keep that yucky nausea down!), taking a 2 hour nap in the afternoon...man being tired when you're prego is no joke! If I don't have a nap I am dead by the end of the day and can barely function. And my days have been filled with lots of paper work...getting our medical insurance all figured out, and other wonderful details to start preparing for our little baby:) Now I don't want you to think I'm complaining at all...just hoping you all better understand what's been going on with me and my life! 

Tonight I got a wonderful burst of energy to get work done (as you can see since it's past 1am and this rarely happens since I got pregnant). I got a good chunk of editing done, caught up on my emails and got to write this wonderful bloggy blog post :) I'm hoping this energy kicks up and I can get back into my good business work flow.

I still am in shock that I am pregnant! It is such a blessing and it is true that the Lord knows the perfect timing. I am in my 9th week and our little baby is due in February:) I am so excited for all the amazing things to come! Here are just a few of the things I'm looking forward to...

*Starting to really "show" and have a real bump...(you'd be surprised how long it feels it takes to actually look pregnant!)
*Feeling my little baby inside me!!!...I cannot wait to feel him move...it will definitely make it even more real
*Finding out the sex!...If you ask anyone close to me and they'll tell you I'm strongly convinced it's a boy. I chalk it up to my "motherly intuition". I could be wrong and would be delighted with a little girl. But I don't think that is the case this time :)
*Picking out a name with my hubs. We have yet to find any we really love...I think it will come in the perfect time.
*Decorating the baby room and getting everything ready for our little one...I already have a few things done. We painted the room when we moved and I already bought my fabulous anthropologie curtains for the room before it was even a baby room! I also already have the dresser and changing table that I bought off craiglist and need to paint still. I will definitely show pics of all this later!

I'm sure they're are many more things I'm excited about...but that's all I can think of for now:) You can probably expect there to be more personal blog posts like this...it helps to get all my thoughts out! Hopefully you will enjoy them:) I also am going to do my best to get on my "tip tuesdays" and blog photography help and tips next week!!! Hope you all are doing well:) Thanks for reading! Oh and below is probably the most amazing photo I have ever posted!!! You'll just have to scroll down to see it! ;)

Our 8week old little baby :)
