Letter to Baby | 3.13
We just finished our 13th week and are safely in the second tri!! WOO HOO!
Here's a little bit of what went on this week:
Mama got no sleep. Norah Jean has decided to snuggle with us every night and I'm letting her-for now. Soon you're the only babe I'll be able to hold in my arms and we'll cuddle uninterrupted. But for now, we share ;]
You started fluttering up a storm this week. There was one day where I hardly felt you at all. I ate a super spicy chili for dinner and when I laid down to (try to) go to sleep I felt you do little flips every time my stomach made noises. It was adorable.
I let myself (again) eat "normal" foods and find myself much more morning sickness prone than a few weeks ago. So (for real!) back to my boring, restrictive diet. We'll find out in a few weeks at our next midwife appointment how happy all this sugar and cheese and eggs makes our midwife too ;]
Baby,
We went to a baby shower this week for your friend Ivy Burke (no relation, but you will be total bffs) and it reminded me of the long chains of celebrations we'll be having before we meet you. As your sister has kept me up at night with her never ending scratching, I'm still fervently praying for no allergies and no skin issues for you-for both of our sakes. I've picked out a few names for you if you are a girl, and Daddy is totally in charge if you are a boy...which is scary ;] I love you and can't wait to go on our little trip together, just me and you this coming week <3 br="br">
All my love,
Mama
Brooke & Steve Waiting for Baby
I met this darling couple who are waiting for their first little baby to be born any day now at the Texas State Fair about a month ago. They were both an absolute joy to work with! Posable, up for anything, put up with my insane areobic demands, and DELIVERED on their pictures.
Despite rain and nightfall (which usually has me packing my bag) these two inspired me to stretch my creative limits, and I'm thrilled with the results.
So without further adu, please welcome glowing Brooke and her sweet husband Steve to the blog. And be sure to keep an eye out for their little mister to make his appearance for his newborn session!

About a month ago, I had the pleasure of attending this gorgeous birth with an amazing woman.
More to come soon.
