week 36

June 14, 2012 Filed in: Expecting, Photography

oh boy. OH BOY! We’re getting closer…

We may not have a name for our little guy just yet…or know what he looks like, but he does have a zest for life! He’s active. He responds to a great message at church and a deep worship song…..and a fabulous meal! I love it!

Current Craving:: ICE WATER! Can’t get enough. I even ran into my dentist and he was like “OH NO!!!” Ya, it’s bad. I chomp on glasses and glasses of ice. Everyday.

Well, our growing bebe is packing on the pounds- at the rate of an ounce a day! He’s around 6 pounds….like a CRENSHAW MELON and is more than 18 inches long.

I am thrilled and blessed to be approaching the FULL TERM marker. I definitely don’t take this for granted.

One more thing…..I posted a “MOM MUSINGS” blog post over on the Kelli&Vanessa blog. Feel free to check it out- it’s on the very things that have been running through my mind these days. Hope you enjoy and are encouraged by it!

Have a great day!
xoxo

week 35

June 5, 2012 Filed in: Expecting, Photography

Am I REALLY this close to holding a sweet baby boy in my arms?!? Just the thought of this makes me tear up a bit. I follow quite a few amazingly creative girls who have recently given birth to their first bebe’s and it’s been so sweet to see them transition from one season to another. I feel like I’m living through their photos and words as they describe their overwhelming love for their newest addition to their family. What an exciting season….I feel blessed.

In case you’re interested in who I am talking about…..these girls have been inspiring to me and their blogs & instagram feeds are adorable:: Christa Black & Brooke White.

Well, what do we have this week? Our little guy is “18 inches long and tips the scale at 5 1/4 pounds” -think HONEYDEW MELON! And according to my iPhone app- the baby’s main job over the next few weeks is to put weight on! Oh BOY!

June Desktop Download

June 1, 2012 Filed in: Photography

The feedback I received from last months desktop download was completely unexpected. I love that so many of you were encouraged by the quote and inspired by the design! So awesome!

Ashley and I collaborated again for this months desktop and iPhone download! Yes, we have resized this to fit your iPhone!!

We had completed the June download last week, but then a completely new idea inspired us last minute as this past week was the opening week of Farmers Market here in Whitefish….and we couldn’t pass up photographing this event that just screams SUMMERTIME!

We opted out of including the calendar for this one, but we feel the quote is strong and hope that you are encouraged by it as much as we are. When we live life to it’s fullest- it produces growth and strength. As we enter into a new month and a new season….soak up these days! Allow yourself to be used to your greatest capability. It’s a choice we must get to make everyday.

Feel free to SHARE this FREE desktop & iPhone download with your friends, by sharing the link to this post!
Just RIGHT CLICK on the image and SAVE AS DESKTOP BACKGROUND.

week 34

May 29, 2012 Filed in: Expecting

Can I just say that I have the best friends in the whole wide world?!? My girlfriends hosted the most amazingly gorgeous baby shower for me this weekend….and showered me and our little guy with outrageous love. Best day ever! My heart is full…..

Baby Shower photos will be posted soon…..

Can’t believe that we are at week 34 already! I’m beginning to feel that pressure of keeping the play button on and hitting pause to slow time down a bit. Not that I can REALLY do this, but I’m just reminded of how quickly time passes….and I’m swiftly approaching the pregnancy finish line and I want to soak up this sweet season….of the in between.

Well, our little guy is about 18 inches long and weighing in around 4 3/4 pounds…think CANTALOUPE!

Have a great week!
xoxo

week 33

May 26, 2012 Filed in: Expecting

I know. This post is WAY over due…..but I just couldn’t handle the thought of holding this weeks fruit…..while standing in the pouring rain, which is the kind of weather we’ve had here all week! April showers bring May showers here in the Northwest!

Well, little bebe and I are doing great! Still wearing bits and pieces of my own wardrobe, combined with my staple lifesavers- layering MAMA tank tops from H&M. These definitely give me a little more mileage in my own tops, which are starting to creep up….you know, kinda like crop tops from the 80′s! Yikes!

I’m not getting a full nights beauty rest these days, but then again….I don’t think it’s a coincident that us moms who are growing babies, who will be up through out the nights for feedings are up right now. It’s preparing us for what is to come….this whole journey blows my mind. All the details that go into pregnancy is so mind blowing! It’s a beautiful thing.

What do we have this week?!? Our little guy is weighing in a little over 4 pounds- think PINEAPPLE- and has passed the 17 inch mark! He’s getting bigger…..and it definitely feels like it too!

Any plans for MEMORIAL DAY weekend?
My dear girlfriends from church are hosting a baby shower for me on Sunday……Im so excited about this!

xoxo,
kelli
