A place to document my life and thoughts - well, mostly my daughter's life :) She is my world. I love her <3 I couldn't ask for a more wonderful family.
And here’s a restart to the Lila Pic of the Week. I tried to start at the beginning of the year, but the end of pregnancy and the beginning of having two kids was pretty difficult Let’s hope I’m able to keep up with one a week for each girl!
And here’s a few more of my Lila. It was actually hard for me to decide which one to make the official... 
Now that things have somewhat normalized since Lucy’s birth, I’m going to start up a Lucy and Lila Pics of the Week. Here’s Lucy’s first one
Lucy is 6 weeks old today!
I was blessed with having Erin from Erin White Photography present at Lucy’s birth and am very excited to share these photos with you.
It’s kinda funny, at Lila’s birth, I banned cameras from our room in the birthing center and was not interested in having a single photo taken. But since becoming a photographer, I’ve had a growing interest in birth photography and jumped at the... 
On January 20, 2013, my second daughter was born. This is her birth story.
On the morning of January 19, two days past my due date, I was sitting up in bed checking Facebook, Twitter, and Email before getting up to start the day. I had already been up to pee, Dave was starting to wake up, and Lila was still in bed. As I was replying to an email, I felt a little gush that could be my waters. It...

10 more days until Baby Girl’s due date! I’m definitely ready and feel like she’s coming soon. But who knows, we’ll see!
Dave and I decided that since we’re having a home birth and live in an apartment, it would only be polite to give the neighbors in our building a heads-up. So that’s what we just did. Everyone was super cool with it and nice, so that’s... 
Lila had lots of fun splashing around in the rain puddles today
Most of you know that we have decided to have a home birth for Baby Girl and I’ve received a lot of positive feedback regarding our decision. I was honestly quite surprised by that — so yay for support!
Anyway, I also know that there are others who feel I am being irresponsible, selfish, and ridiculous for chosing a home birth. And I understand that I may sometimes come off as anti-doctor... 
I got a prenatal massage today. It was awesome Well, during the massage I had the following conversation:
Massage therapist: “you’re not really swollen at all for how far along you are.”
Me: “how far along do you think I am?
Massage therapist: “about 30 weeks or so?“
Me: “I’m 22 weeks”
Bahahahaha. I wish I could’ve seen her face. She...
