8 Weeks

8 Weeks! What a joy this baby has been. I've learned alot this time around and three kids can be a juggling act for sure. I did give myself a slight advantage by waiting 5 1/2 years, but in the end I still only have 2 arms.

8 Mommy Tips Learned in the First 8 Weeks

1. Rest, Rest, Rest ~ take the time to heal

2. Help, Help, Help ~ don't try and be superwomen, when people offer graciously accept

3. Feeding Time ~ everyone is just going to have to wait when your feeding the baby

4. Trust your Gut ~ Henry was very fussy and I took him in at 2 weeks and found out he had acid reflux. Prevacid ~ what a lifesaver

5. Bag Balm ~ perfect remedy for diaper rash

6. Siblings ~ my older boys have absolutely loved holding and interacting with Henry

7. Binkie Holder ~ no more screaming "Where's the Binkie??"

8. Enjoy ~ they are small for such a brief time just enjoy it!!

Other tips from Moms out there?? I would love to hear from you.

33 Weeks

My sweet friend Ella offered some weeks ago to take some pregnancy shots of me. Since this is my third baby and I don't think I have one single photo of myself pregnant, I took her up on the offer. I don't have any idea why I don't have pregnancy photos, other than simply, I am the photographer in the family and I am the one behind the camera.

We met in the middle of our two little Townes at on old, totally cool, abandon house. It was a relaxing setting with the wind blowing and the sun setting. After a few shots I eased into it. With only 7 weeks to go I really need to get the after burners going on all my projects: quilts, nursery, clothes and other essentials.

I just keep telling myself with this hot summer weather....hey, the Mormon Pioneers did it, why can't I!!

New Mom!

Last spring I purchased this book as a good coffee table conversation starter. Recently it has meant more to ME, then in the past. Baby #3 will be arriving this Fall. Our whole family is thrilled and it has been very cute to see my house of boys get excited about another baby!

***Side-note: I have been so sick the last couple months hence the sporadic and none-existent posts. I hope as I progress further into my second trimester I will start feeling better and will post much more often.

***Side-note #2: If you haven't seen this book before it is absolutely priceless and will have you rolling in the aisle. I highly recommend it. You can purchase it here. I hope to share through-out this pregnancy a few of my favorites.
