Olivia and the Hat

Some of you may recall that Stacy and I met for the first time IRL as bloggy friends a couple of months ago and she made this adorable hat for me as I was her 10,000th comment on her blog. I could not wait to shoot my newborn in it. Without some elaborate location to take pictures at, or the gumption to get out and find one, we did with what we had. Our living room!

I apparently wasn't in a very vibrant processing mood today because I kinda liked all of the muted tones. But in any case, my littlest angel still shined. Thank you so much Stacy for the hat! I only wish I had one like this when Ella was a baby too!

12 Weeks

How sweet the sound. The magical week that women get to and feel confident enough to announce their good news. Nausea has taken over my life for the last month or so leaving me to want to sleep all the time. I think I have doubled our grocery bill over the last few weeks too. It seems to be the only way to keep me from not vomiting. Weird, I know. By the time this kid comes....I will be nicknamed "Two-ton".....Considering I am already in my maternity clothes that I didn't even start wearing with Ella until 5 months!

This is most of the reason why I have been so sparse blogging lately. The last thing I have felt like doing is looking at the computer screen. So I apologize that my posts and comments have tapered off. I have been keeping up with everyone still. Sometimes making more comments on several posts at once instead of after each time you post them. Mostly I have just been lurking until I feel like sitting on the computer. Along with my camera being at Nikon for repair right now....(*Note to self* Really bad time to send your camera off. How am I supposed to take pictures of decorating the tree?!) I hope when I get it back I will start feeling like myself again.

Besides all that, it is a huge blessing for us and a long journey to get here. Believe me...you don't know how long I have been saving this picture for this post. To me, the simplicity of it epitomized life in the womb.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am sure we all have so much to be thankful for!

Budding Pen Pals....

What a bright and beautiful way to start the day! This painting is from the talented and adorable Nadia, the star of Momology.

It says, "To Ella, From Nadia: This is a picture of a clown to make you laugh."

Ella's always one to play along! She immediately got down on the floor and started laughing as she rolled back and forth.
After that, it took all I had to get her to sit down and let me take a picture of her with the painting. As I told Christina, she wanted me to fetch her watercolors right away so that she could start making something for Nadia.

It's on its way! :0)
