A Page of Pictures

Let me begin by saying that Scott and I are mere amateurs and I actually despise my camera. With that being said, I had the brilliant idea of taking Jackson's three year pictures on our own at 8 months pregnant. I took Jack's 2 year pictures myself at the Arboretum last year and they turned out okay so I thought I'd give it a whirl again. I know I will not have time once Grady is born and I didn't want to do his pictures any later when I am just to huge to do anything.

We woke up to a dreary day and Scott not feeling that great. However, we ventured out anyway and got some GREAT shots! The clouds and drizzle really helped with the lighting. Jackson was amazing! I LOVE taking pictures of him outside away from a studio where he's asked to pose. I also used my picture program for the first time and I AM IN L-O-V-E! I could sit and play with this photo program all day! Enjoy the pictures! They are in no particular order. I think the last one is Jack just being silly.

Hi!
I met you at Michelle's house(around Christmas). Anyway, wow you look great and it is almost time for that sweet boy to arrive!!
I just wanted to say I LOVE those pictures, especially the bridge! What program are you using? My Dad was just telling me about Lightroom. I hoping he likes it better than Photoshop, so he can pass it down to me..haha!
Take Care! :)

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
