Introducing…

February 22nd, 2011 · life

Introducing the latest member of our family, born January 25th at 5:02p.m. He’s such a good boy! Even his little cry is cute, or it could be that I’m finally immune to cries being annoying after the 3thd baby.

It has been a long road getting to this point. The last trimester of my pregnancy was a scary time as I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. My body felt so weak and beaten down, I could barely walk down a flight of stairs. So I was on bed rest, or at  least I tried to be on bed rest with 2 other kids to care for. It wasn’t easy. It was also very frustrating to be limited with my activities.

Then a bout of bronchitis made it’s way into my lungs and stubbornly decided to stay for nearly 2 months. So I gave birth with constant coughing about every 5 minutes or so.  Let’s see… what else could go wrong, well we brought home a beautiful baby. Before you know it, the whole family caught a nasty, nasty cold/flu, including the newborn baby. 

My 2 other kiddos never became sick that soon into their young lives, so that was frightening for me. Worrying about him getting a fever, which he did get, but it was mild, thank God! I felt horrible watching him cough and sneeze out all that mucus, poor thing…

But we finally are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Baby is much better, we are all able the breathe easier again. Now I’m hoping for better things to come. Spring is just around the corner!

Together TTV

November 3rd, 2010 · creativity, my etsy shop, photography

Happy Wednesday everyone! Just a very quick post to share my latest addition to my photography shop. I might do a ttv still life series, since I am now at the waddling stage of my pregnancy and my back kills after a lot of walking. I won’t be going out as much to photograph. Thinking up interesting still life set ups with various color combos might be fun!

My Baby Then and Now

October 31st, 2010 · Uncategorized

My baby girl will be 2 years old next month. I can’t believe how quickly she has grown. Before you know it she will be starting school. The time when they are little is so precious, not just for them but for us parents as well.  When I had my first born, many told me, enjoy every minute with him because that time is gone in a flash. They so were right.
