I love my little baby bump and all the crazy movements I am feeling! Can't wait to meet him!

some "BIG" changes

We have some "BIG" changes coming up in the next few weeks! and not just my growing tummy! Jas and I will be moving into a home probably by the end of this week and we are really excited/overwhelmed! It's a huge blessing but going to be tough trying to move 7-8 months prego! Luckily I have a incredible hubby, and some really amazing friends to help. I will just be happy when we are all settled!

Here's a pic of the new Nelson residence!

Also here is my 7 month belly shot (from almost 2 weeks ago haha)

BAM side view! I love it! I am like a human battering ram! Which reminds me I saw the funniest thing in a pregnancy magazine at my last Dr. appt. You can buy a tummy guard to protect your tummy from bumping into things and things bumping into you. It kind of looks like a bullet proof vest for your tummy and I thought it was hilarious! Maybe it's just me but I don't want anything extra on my tummy that doesn't need to be there, and there is no way I would wear that thing in public. It would be like wearing a helmet all day just in case you bumped your head. Don't get me wrong I bump my tummy all day on the fridge door, and the car door, and desks but I am pretty sure the damage is minimal. I don't know though maybe someone else has an experience where they could see the benefit? Let me know!

Also one more bit of exciting news... our sweet baby is getting a brother! Here are some pictures of our little Snorkie (Schnauzer+Yorkie). He is still living with his birth momma until he is old enough to come home but we love to go visit him!

So lots of exciting things but a little overwhelming. It will be a crazy few months as I finish up school too. Just taking one day at a time and loving going through it all with Jason. He truly is amazing and helps me keep going.

My intro to Photography

I have posted quite a bit about my friend Stephanie Hyde and her photography. She recently just got new lights and we thought it would be fun to do a portrait session of each other! I borrowed my dads camera and we got a bunch of hats and scarfs and even put some music on. Steph taught me a ton with camera settings and we just had a blast!

Not to bad for my first time right? I can't wait to keep practicing!

Here are a few of the ones Steph took of me. She does a lot better with different angles and the lighting. I loved learning from her and am excited to keep learning!

Who doesn't love getting all dolled up and taking fun pictures! P.S. Steph is moving to Minnesota by the way so if anyones interested in getting family pictures, portraits, or any other type of pictures you should give her a call. She is very affordable and does a great job. She recently took some pics of my niece and nephews (the triplets) and also has taken Jas and I family pictures the last couple years. Check out her blog!

Baby Update

Jas and I went to a Baby Fair this weekend and had a fun find! I wanted a cradle but recognized the baby would only be in it for a few months so probably wouldn't buy one. We saw this one and the lady gave it to us for a steal! She even included the mattress and bedding that had never been used. It was perfect and even matched some of the bedding we have already got. We were so excited, and went to Home Depot right after. We bought some brown paint and silver metallic paint for the metal parts then Jason went to work. I was sad I couldn't help but I am not supposed to be around the fumes. He did such a great job though and we love it!!
