What’s in My Belly :: Personal

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to make the coolest thing ever over the last six months.  (And coming from a girl who can burn macaroni and cheese and butcher just about any craft project, it is quite the accomplishment indeed.)  I cannot describe how excited I am to meet our little one this August (affectionately dubbed “Pod” for the time being).  Jeromy and I are so humbled and grateful to have a healthy baby girl cooking away and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

I love being pregnant and with my biology background, it’s neat to have this little process going on in my tummy.  Pregnancy is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced and I’m cherishing each day.

I want to extend a special thanks to my clients, who have lifted me in prayer and offered support along the way when the road got bumpy.  There have been some trials getting to this point, but our joy has been magnified as a result.  I also want to encourage any couple out there that is struggling with adding to their family to remain hopeful and keep strong.

I am so blessed to work with the sweetest couples and families in the metroplex – hands down (and it’s so cool that I can call many of them friends).  Even this past week during a model shoot, one amazing stylist took it upon herself to keep a cold bottle of water near me the entire time.  I’m a bad sweater even sans-preggo (gross!), so I’m sure she thought I was about to keel over even though it was just my normal operating procedure – such a sweetie).

Even though I plan to attend scheduled shoots as long as I can waddle, I’m grateful to know and work with dependable talent I can count on should the big day come much earlier/later than expected (and happy for couples that are flexible if a change in plans occur).

I can’t wait to share pics in a few months of Pod and to experience the messy and wonderful joy of parenthood.
