13 weeks

Today starts the beginning of week 13 being pregnant with baby #2. My husband swears I am having a girl simply because of my cravings, and I hope to have a girl but I guess we'll know in a few short weeks.

I feel great still except for exhaustion, which I know is to be expected taking care of a toddler and myself.

We had a busy weekend. Saturday I photographed Paul & Sylvia (pictures to come later) celebrate 25 years of marriage. They decided to renew their vows in Carlsbad, CA. Sunday we went to church, BBQ'd some carne asada, Andrew baptized one of our youth group kids, Jerry, and we went swimming and enjoyed the rest of our day relaxing. We had a busy and good weekend. Wish I had more exciting stuff to talk about lol!

It's been too long...

But I figured I should at least start blogging again since we are pregnant with baby #2 now. We've had a rough beginning in this pregnancy with not knowing whether or not his baby would still around. Ended up in the ER already with spotting and turns out everything seems to be healthy now.

I am excited to welcome this little baby, no matter a girl or boy we are excited even though it was a surprise. I am hoping for a girl this time, and Andrew of course is hoping for a boy. We're still trying to figure out names that we like. I just can't wait til I actually start looking pregnant!

I am currently 11 weeks pregnant and feeling very good overall. I have nothing but exhaustion to complain about in this pregnancy. No morning sickness, no food aversions, nothing except the axhuastion which is to be expected with a toddler running around my house taking what little energy I have to play with him.

Here is a picture of me 8 weeks pregnant:

Maternity Session #1

I had the pleasure of doing my very first Maternity Photo Session, it was soooooo much fun and it was mostly an experiment for me since I have never used professional lighting system and backdrop but I am SO pleased with the results of the photo shoot. For any of you pregnant women reading this, if you want me to take some maternity photos... Let me know ;) Here are some of my favorite photos:

1 cm

Had yet ANOTHER Dr's appt this afternoon and checked me to find out that I am 1 cm dilated, although there is no change in the presentation of my cervix- meaning that it will be yet another week AT THE VERY LEAST before I will go into labor. So, I have made another appt with my Dr to check on me in another week. Sounds like things are progressing- slowly- but nonetheless progressing. If I have to be a betting person, I would bet this baby is either going to be right on time or a week late at this point. That's all for now!!

38 weeks!!!

And yes nothing is happening, so I am still waiting for baby!!!

Latest update

There has been no changes in my body right now, so looks like yet another week or so and the way it's looking now this baby is in no way coming out early. Next friday, yet again another Dr's appt.

Dr did an Ultrasound to check on the baby's weight and growth, baby looks to be about 7lbs give or take 10% for error since they can only estimate. Maybe some more exciting news next week huh?
