Pet Photography

I absolutely adore taking photos of my dogs. It’s definitely one of my favorite forms of photography. Lately it’s been too cold for me to be motivated enough to go outside to take pics. We also haven’t had much sunlight these days to give me good natural indoor light. I’ve taken some pics using lights from the apartment, but I haven’t mastered the white-balance settings on...

Sunday Stats

Ahh! I once again forgot to do Sunday Stats until I was about to go to bed! My weight is still in the low 120s – I don’t know exactly what because I prefer to weigh myself in the morning when I haven’t eaten yet. I’ll put down tomorrow’s weight in the morning. Weight: 122.5 Waist: 35 inchesYay! My belly grew half an inch! That’s a total of 9 inches of growth. I started...

First though, let’s look at a couple pics. The one above is (sort of) a profile shot of Baby’s head. Baby is facing...

Midwife Appointment – 18 Weeks

We had a midwife appointment today and it went great! The first thing we talked about is the fact that I’ve been sick. The midwife, Sarah, gave us some ideas on how I could feel better and told me to just keep resting and drink lots of water. Then we talked about if I could feel Baby moving around yet (I can’t) and how that should happen pretty soon. She also reminded us that we need to start...

18 Weeks!

18 weeks pregnant today! Almost halfway there! The above is a screenshot of an iPhone app I use called BabyBump. It is packed with features, but these pages are my favorite. Every week, BabyBump has a new screen which tells me Baby’s approximate size, weight, and a food item (usually fruit or veggie) that is close in size. There is also a cute little picture of what Baby should look like at this...
