Body Envy...

This is not where you think it's going... shame on you :)

My camera is still broken. Yep, still totally sucks. Still waiting to hear how much it's going to cost. But a friend loaned me her Canon this weekend so I could do a scheduled shoot and let's just say I didn't want to give it back! I definitely have camera body envy! I think it's time for Netters to upgrade... :)

Bellies...

Working on pics of this cute prego belly from Issaquah (which happens to belong to one of my besties!) I'm a little behind but hope to have your pics finished sometime late Tuesday :)

Pardon my French...

But "F..." Technology. My camera broke today. Just stopped working for no apparent reason. I've had it almost 2 years with no problems and of course it breaks when I have things scheduled to shoot. And of course it happened right after we got the laptop working again. Now that's what I call impeccable timing. Peachy. Just Peachy.

Welcome Spring....

We've been getting spoiled with some unheard of blue skies and sunshine lately. Even the cherry blossom trees bloomed early this year. I just love being outside in the fresh air with the warm sun shining down on me. I can't wait for more days like these.

Babies... {Eagan}

I recently had a shoot with this sweet little guy. Meet Mr. Eagan Zane. I did his 5 month pics with him and his mom Kacie. I must say this cutie-patootie was more than happy to pose for pictures--he didn't fuss at all and gave me lots of smiles, he was awesome! Thanks Kacie and Eagan! It was great seeing you guys and doing our shoot. (As always all pics are low resolution and for viewing only.

The Hulk would dig these...

I never decorate for St. Patty's Day (sorry, I've just never been a fan of Kelly Green!). But I wanted to do something fun to celebrate. So last night I made green vanilla cupcakes (and yes, the batter really was green) paired with a cold glass of green milk. Maybe it's not Irish but at least it's festive. And they tasted good too :)

Babies... {Eagan}

Been working on pics of this cute little guy and I'm hoping to have them done by the weekend. But here's a little sneak peak just for mama, this was one of my faves. Eagan Zane, 5 months...

Windy...

It's super windy today... And that's all I'll say about that.

Great Weekend...

I had a great weekend this weekend.

Did a pregnancy shoot in Issaquah one day and had MY prego pics done by some talented photag friends the other. Lots of pics and bumps this weekend! My memory cards and heart are full.

Our baby furniture finally arrived so we will be picking it up tonight, I'm so excited! Now we can finally start putting the nursery together and get this baby show on the road. Only 7 weeks left, it's time to get organized!

Only the Berry Best...

This ice cream has become my favorite after dinner pregnancy treat. I swear its THE best ice cream I've ever had. It's so fresh tasting, not too sweet, has chunks of strawberries and it's just Soooo good. I love it...

Diaper Cake...

OK, so as you may know my baby shower was on Sunday. And it was soooo AWESOME, I really couldn't have asked for a better shower. One of the coolest things there was the "Diaper Cake" my friend Tierra and her sister made for our baby girl. It was made entirely from diapers and little gifts for Baby K. I just couldn't get over how cool this thing looked! We keep telling Tierra she needs to open an Etsy store and start selling these online! Thanks for my beautiful diaper cake ladies, I loved it!! :)

For Baby M...

Today is my shower for Baby M and I'm really looking forward to it! I'm so excited to see everyone and catch up (cause let's face it, as a prego you get a little out of the loop!) Rob and I wondered for a moment why it was called a shower, because it's not like it rains on the baby? But then we realized it's because you shower baby-to-be with love and gifts from family and friends. I wonder when they started calling them that?

Speaking of Love, I found this cute bench at Michael's Arts & Crafts store. It will go good with the cream, chocolate brown and sage green nursery theme. Her little pink friend was from Uncle Dan. Even though her room will be neutral colored this girl will definitely be pretty in pink! I hope she's a girly girl like me, but if not, that's OK too :)

I never wear flats...

Because I'm short. But it's getting hard to put regular shoes on with this baby overtaking my tummy. So I bought some fugly shoes the other day. Clarkes. Plain black. Boring. Slip on flats. And I'm loving them. Not only are they easy to put on but they feel like absolute "buttah" on my feet. I'm sooo all about comfort right now... So please, excuse my feet for a while.

Martha (Stewart, that is) would be proud...

My good friends Tierra and Heather are throwing me a baby shower and thought it would be cute to send handmade invites. I am soooo not crafty but agreed (and even helped cut paper and stamp, Go Netters!) I LOVE how the invites turned out. Thanks Ladies, I'm so thankful you're throwing me a shower, it's going to be great, I just know it! :) XoXo

Because someone misses her...

Meow. This is my sister's cat, Tulip. Her mommy is living in CA right now and kitty is hanging in WA with her Catma and Catpa (that's what my parent's call themselves). Michelle always misses her sweet kitties while she's away.

Cookin' Along....

Netters--Trying to get a profile shadow of the Bump on a beautiful, sunny day in February (unheard of in Seattle!) To see how my pregnancy is progessing please visit our family blog.

W.P.S...

Will Post Soon...

Laptop is still broken. There's a way for me to access/upload my pics but it's painfully slow. Still haven't had it looked at yet either... Netters is a slacker. But I'll post something in the next day or two. Pinky swear!

Had a really good weekend though. Hope you did too!

And BTW--Happy Monday! :)

Surf & Turf...

What's wrong with celebrating Valentines Day at home? Nuthin' I tell ya. For several years now Rob and I have dined at home on the holiday of love. We go for familiarity and the comfort of our own kitchen instead of going to some crowded restaurant, getting a limited holiday menu, slow service and overpriced food. Instead every year we do a Surf & Turf dinner. And it always turns out lovely. So go ahead, order the steak AND the lobster! (And let me tell you this prego didn't eat any fish/seafood for a whole week so I could enjoy my entire lobster without a mercury care in the world :)

Cute note Rob left on the food to be prepared...



Dinner awaits...



Prego's lobster...

Laptop is broken...

Not sure what's wrong with it yet but of course it's the one I use for all of my photography stuff. Sucks. Hope we can get it figured out this weekend but untill then I can't really post anything. Boo on technology.

Two-Fourteen...

Happy Valentine's Day People... Hope it's lovely!

Feelin' the Love...

I love having seasonal decorations in the house. Not a lot but just enough to remind us what's coming up, like this little Valentine tree in our downstairs bathroom. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Since it falls on a Sunday this year Rob and I are celebrating it tonight instead. We'll be hanging at home with steak, lobster and a movie. Our V-Day tradition. Hope whatever you do your holiday of L-O-V-E is sweet too.

Prophetic...

Last week Rob and I went out for Chinese food.
This was what my fortune said:




The very next night after work I walked to our mailbox. A large box was waiting for me. Full of gently used baby clothes from an old friend I recently connected with on Facebook.

Sometimes the kindness of others amazes me.



Thanks Nicole and Kaleb! That was so sweet of you and everything was so cute. We really appreciated it and I know Baby M will love these! xoxo

Because Really...

What girl doesn't like flowers on her birthday??

Hyacinth from my mom...



And Tulips from Rob...



Apparently little doggies like flowers too... :)

Little Ones... {Caden, Kyler & Conner}

Meet Caden, Kyler and Connor. These cute little brothers from Redmond have big blue eyes and love hanging out with eachother. Here's some of my favorite pics from their shoot. As usual all pics are low-resolution, left click the image twice for a larger, view.
