A picture is worth a thousand words...

My newest desire: maternity pics. Along with that: pictures I would NEVER want taken while pregnant!

I have decided to seek out someone for maternity pictures- it's a "fad" right now and I am jumping on the wagon. I love pictures, scrapbooking and basically documenting everything that I can- I don't think I am alone either! So I have found a few of my favorite poses that I am hoping to replicate in some way shape or form.

This is my FAVORITE! I love the book, I love the setting, I love the shirt- I just love this picture. Now, in my little creative mind, I have decided that since little man will debut into a Nemo/ocean room. I want to do this with Rainbow Fish or Nemo and have it be either on a beach or (ideally) in front of an aquarium. Now, I'm not planning any trips to Ripleys aquarium in Myrtle Beach anytime soon- but Oh man- it would be PERFECT!! Hoping that one of the local zoos or aquariums has something that I can make work, because this is amazing and just right up my little alley!



The aquarium at the top is from Ripleys in Myrtle- it is right at the entrance and is so COOL- I have about five million pictures from Ripleys every time we go, and I love them all- I was seriously born in the wrong state- the stork got lost and missed the oceanside mansion that I was really meant to grow up in! I would also love to get a picture on the same bridge as we did in our engagement pictures and then get one when Baby Boy is older... like a time lapse.



We are big beach fans- so this would also be up our alley. A different variation would be with each of us in our fire boots- it would also be funny to most people that know us because hubby is rarely seen without his navy pant and works boots- so to me, it just shows his "home" side. Assuming I will still be able to get my swollen feet into fire boots- it would be classic, since those are the "glass slippers" I wore for our wedding

<This is a cute set-up as well, I like that the little puppy is involved, and the stomach with baby shoes. Not sure how I feel about randomly lifting my shirt for hubby to hover beside me.... but I have seen it done much better.

>>>This couple used to be very good friends of ours- but sometimes bad situations happen and grief takes over... I still wish them the best and love their pictures from their little girl.


   This is Helga- a Polaris Razr Side by Side Four Wheeler. She was my graduation/ wedding gift. I am to this day the only person to ever put her upside down and test her roll cage. I have taken her through thick and thin and sadly can only admire her from afar these days. I think it would be funny to get a picture of hubby trying to put the baby carrier into her while I glare on... Twisted, yes... But this is coming from the same person that stabbed a rabbit to tell hubby that he successfully "killed the rabbit." It would be a very... unique picture- possibly borderline hillbilly, but at some point I suppose we should start embracing our neighbors and they DO say "If you can't beat 'em, JOIN 'EM!"

There are a few lines out there for potential picture takers.. hopefully someone bites and our thank-you cards will arrive with not just my fiftieth attempt at how to say thank-you without sounding like a Hallmark knock-off but with a non-creepy picture of our growing family (and belly!)

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan

Caden William

After a short two hours in the outside world, Caden, our perfect happy little boy was taken to the nursery to get checked out and cleaned up. A nurse came in shortly to let us know that regrettably, Caden was breathing a little faster than he should have been and that he would be moved to the special care nursery (NICU) to be evaluated. Usually babies are there about 24 hours and then are good to go back to mom and the regular nursery- and he just needed a little extra attention for a few good hours.  Dad had just left to go home and shower and gather himself. I called him, still calm and collected, and still surrounded by family. I was worried sick about my little boy and my dad took me in my wheelchair later to see him in his incubator. To sit and only make contact through a little hole with your baby is about the most helpless feeling ever. His little chest was going at what seemed like a million miles a minute. The nurse explained that his box was helping regulate his oxyge

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have
