Getting 'Round'

In the past couple of weeks, my belly has really grown. There is no disguising that there is a beautiful baby growing in there anymore. Let's face it, I'm almost 6 months pregnant, so it was bound to happen!

I have been having a few issues with getting big. I have always been thin, exercised a lot, and been fit and healthy. So having my body change shape this way has been a little hard for me to deal with.

Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who always makes me feel better about who I am when I am having a 'melt down'.

So, I've decided to embrace my growing body. Becoming a mother is a special thing, something I'm very grateful for, so now I need to prove it by loving the changes it causes in my body too :)







Because Josh is so awesome, I'll also share a couple more of his practise shots. I think he's got such a good eye for what looks good! He hasn't even started doing any photoshopping... Can't wait til he does! I'm so proud.

These are all taken as he has been getting 'round' our city!

Christttyyyy!!

Christy is very crafty. Which could create some great alliteration as her name starts with C. If only my Year 8 English class could grasp the concept of alliteration.

ANYWAY!! Christy is hosting a crafting competition. So, pop on over and check it out!

My Own Little Bit of Happily Ever After

Recently I was asked to guest post on Bobbie's Blog. Here is what I sent to her, but thought I'd put it on mine too. If you'd like to view her blog, click here.

I have something really special. I have a family that will last forever.

My idea of what a family is has changed as I have gotten older. I come from a family of seven children: 5 girls and 2 boys. I never really thought we had a big family until people would say so! I loved having so many siblings. It was just normal. Everywhere I went I had a friend to talk to. I shared a room with more than one sibling for half my life, shared clothes, shared talents, and shared dreams. I don’t remember ever feeling lonely.

Here is my big family in the year 2000.


I loved the idea of having a big family of my own one day. I was sure I wanted to have five or six children. That was until I met my wonderful husband, Josh. He brought with him a little perspective. He was from a family of two children. Two! That was mind boggling to me. Like, who did you play with? Who did you stand around the piano and sing with? Who was in your family band? Who were the students when you played schools? How could you have a game of stuck in the mud? These were my questions, of course stemming from my own experiences. I couldn’t understand how a small family was even possible.

Then I realised, both are wonderful. Plus, I’m the woman! I’d be the one who’d have to give birth to these children and then love and care for them (for the most part). It was an epiphany - There are all different types of families. It didn’t HAVE to have a big family; it just had to be a happy family. And I am thrilled to have a family of my own in whatever shape or size it becomes. As long as it is forever.

Because of the blessing of a temple marriage, Josh and I will be together forever. I am 22 weeks pregnant with our first child, and this wonderful little baby boy that is growing inside of me will be the first of our children who also has the honour of spending forever in our family. I am excited for the new challenges and happy moments that are to come. I don’t know how many siblings will follow him, I just know that we will do EVERYTHING in our power to make sure they are the happiest little people in the world.

With parents this wonderful, how could they not be happy :)

Josh's Blog

My stud muffin husband started a blog. He's so cute.

At the moment it has ONE post! How exciting. But it will be filled with all kinds of his thoughts and adventures.

He recently bought a new camera, so I'm sure you will see his talents as they bloom :)



Soooo go check him out. HERE!

It's A....

Hilarious Dreams

With pregnancy has come many new experiences. One of these is hilarious, vivid dreams.

Just recently, I dreamt that a lady at work was heavily pregnant... she was not excited about this dream. Then, the next day another lady at work was with me at Sea World and we were buying scarves. Shortly after, and this one is a doozy, I dreamt that Josh was engaged to another woman to be married (as well as to me) and couldn't understand why I had a problem with this. When I told him, he found this pretty disturbing. Lucky I can laugh!

All of these dreams are not like my normal dreams. You know where there is a story but you kinda know it's not real. These ones are detailed and bizarre. It's like my own little circus in my mind! Part of me likes it, and part of me thinks I've gone stark raving mad!

Anyway, it's all part of the fun. Hopefully they don't go from funny to scary...

The hotness that is us

Maioha Orth is soooo talented! She took pictures of us and there are lots that we love! She made relatively unphotogenic people feel hot! This is quite the feat!! If I knew how, I would do the linky thing so you could all click on her photography blog. Look her up - Onyx Photography. Here are a couple of our favourites.
