Week 27 Symptoms :: My bladder feels like it has shrunk significantly as I feel the need to use the restroom waaaayyyyy more often! There have been a couple times where, out of absolutely no where, I’ve felt like I was going to explode if I did not relieve myself ASAP – so that’s new. Also, […]
pregnancy
2nd trimester overview
Can you believe I’m already in my 3rd trimester? I can’t. Just a few more weeks and we’ll officially welcome our beautiful baby girl into the world. 😀 Ahh, I’m getting goose-bumps just thinking about it! 😉 Since I wrote a 1st trimester overview, I thought I’d continue that spirit by writing a 2nd trimester […]
bump update :: week 26
Week 26 Symptoms :: Rylie went through a growth spurt this week (just look at my bump from last week to this week) so literally every day I was in some kind of discomfort or pain as my body was accommodating her growth. This lead me to be physically exhausted most days (I did end up […]
bump update :: week 25
Week 25 Symptoms :: My belly button is officially an outie (or it’s flat and stretched out). My appetite is nonexistent sometimes (which my doctor said is normal and totally okay – she said just to eat when I’m hungry). Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Chocolate chip cookies Sleep :: Thankfully, my sleep has gotten so […]
bump update :: week 24
Week 24 Symptoms :: Rylie loves to move! She used to only move right when I woke up and right before I went to sleep, but now she likes to move throughout the day too. Sleep has been really rough for me this week as well. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Random dinners. One night […]
photographing the day-to-day
The other day, I had a realization… I’m 5 months pregnant. Which means I only have 4 months left. Which means Rylie will be here in 16 weeks (assuming she goes the full 40 weeks). Uh, yeah… that’s kinda crazy 😀 On SATURDAY (July 23rd), I woke up, fixed some breakfast, and then enjoyed some time in […]
bump update :: week 23
Week 23 Symptoms :: Rylie is definitely growing, and so is my belly (and I feel is all). So lower back pain and uncomfortable abs are kind of a normal thing now. Food Aversions :: Bacon (including turkey bacon) Food Cravings :: Fruit mostly. Sleep :: I don’t know what it is, but sleep is a constant struggle. I […]
the bump + the rain
MONDAY (July 18th), it poured down rain in the afternoon. I was enjoying watching it through the window when I decided I wanted to take photos in it. One of the perks of having your husband as your second shooter is you can ask him to take photos of you – so after asking him, […]
bump update :: week 22
Week 22 Symptoms :: My belly has been getting bigger and I have definitely felt it! Mainly in my lower back (because it will start hurting) and my stomach muscles (it feels kinda like cramping). Food Aversions :: Nothing Food Cravings :: No – but there have been times where I have somewhat craved water. Sleep :: I’ve been […]
an “ah-ha” moment
Ah-ha moments are awesome, especially when you feel like you really need one. The most recent one I had was regarding my business – SMS Photography. Out of everything I have ever photographed – seniors, engagements, weddings, maternity, newborn, babies, families, events, head shots, etc. – there are only a couple of those I have […]
