I’ve been missing in action for a long time. See, I was going to shoot all sorts of things and then I went and got pregnant. lol. Between the first trimester nausea and exhaustion and all the busy weekends around the house preparing for the upcoming baby I have simply ignored my camera.
We’re expecting our first baby, a sweet beautiful baby boy the first week of January. January 6 is his due date but mother’s intuition tells me he’ll be here around Christmas time. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and have exactly 82 days left to my due date. Being pregnant has been a blessing and we’re just so excited to be parents. Arturo is thrilled with having a boy! He always talks about how he’s going to take him on all his adventures skiing, mountain biking, and doing all sorts of Home Depot trips. I think he’s going to be a great daddy. And of course, I couldn’t be any more excited about our sweet baby. Just think of all the photo opportunities!!! :)
Since the moment I found out I was pregnant back in May I went into this major nesting phase that is still here as you could imagine. I wanted to get every single project around the house done and with that the never-ending To Do list started developing. We have been very busy around here getting everything ready. We worked on the baby’s room (still in progress), managed to finish getting the guest bathroom upstairs ready too, and even went ahead and got our laundry room organized with cabinets, etc. The next project is to work on the back yard and get it somewhat presentable. Arturo has been a total trooper in getting all the heavy work done. And he’s been great all around taking care of me at all times – i’m such a lucky girl! :)
Here’s one of baby’s first pictures. We got this one about 2 weeks ago and we already think he’s the cutest baby boy in the whole wide world. :) We can’t wait to meet him.
On a different note, i’ll leave you with a very small selection of pictures from almost 2 months ago. Arturo and I took a ‘babymoon’ to Hawaii back in late August/early September. We spent a week in Maui just relaxing and enjoying the beach. It was the perfect vacation full of down time and just lounging around. I didn’t shoot many pictures because I was busy enjoying things and really didn’t want to carry around the big camera at all times. It interfered with my belly. lol. Arturo did manage to shoot some pictures but mostly we just captured everything with the small point and shoot as well as our iPhones.
About 22 weeks pregnant here:
And just a few from my phone. View from hotel room:
Lots of virgin pina coladas for me. :)
That’s it. I’m hoping to pick up my camera more as the holidays approach. See you soon!
