Cars, Cars and More Cars

Rhett thinks its hilarious to shove cars under the stove, and then try and get them with this old plastic golf club. Well he put a few too far under there, and was unable to retrieve them.  It was a real "boys" job, and everyone had to help. Rhett got his flashlight, Jeff got the retrieval tool (real golf club), and Jonas counted how many he could see (6). I love that although the little boys were more of a nuisance, Jeff let them be part of the retrieval mission.

On another note, it's only 2 weeks till baby girl Marshall arrives (she better not be late)! We are all excited and nervous for her arrival. I hope that she will be healthy. I have seriously been thinking about how now that I'm 32 things may not be perfect. I did all the pre-screening for Down Syndrome, but you just never know what the world will send in your direction. Everything will change regardless of the outcome, and I realize I must prepare myself for anything. I think the major factor in my thinking is this birth story I read on a blog yesterday. Heart breaking and lovely all at the same time.

What I'm Loving Right Now...

Just before Christmas I got my Kiehl's FREE lip balm and of course they gave me a few samples. One of those samples was the Midnight Recovery Concentrate...after trying it I had to have it! So for 48$ I have a great solution to make me beautiful. I have noticed my skin looking a bit brighter and softer lately, so perhaps it actually works?!

Next up is Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35.

I love that it's a tinted moisturizer cross between foundation. It evens out my red complexion, and doesn't leave it looking dry or caked on.

 This isn't the right photo, but it's close enough.

MAC Select Moisturecover is another other favourite right now. It conceals my dark under eye circles and blends to perfection. You don't need much, and again doesn't leave my eye area looking dry.

With all this dry, cold weather these products are making me feel great.

Marshall Baby #3 - In Progress

I just had to get some photos of myself pregnant with the last baby of my "career". I am excited to announce that we are having a little girl! I will instill confidence, self worth, and all the things little girls should feel and know. The biggest advantage this girl will have is the fact that her father is an amazing role model. I feel so blessed.

I have never seen a women as beautiful as Amina. She is stunning, and in turn so are her children! Hish, her husband, is a good friend of my husband...and I was so excited to be able to capture some wonderful images for them.

Baby #3 - It's True!!

Yes although I have not blogged, facebooked or tweeted this tidbit...I am in fact having another baby! I am currently 30 weeks, and feeling great! Jeff and I did some major thinking about bringing another child into our lives, but when we looked at how much we love being parents, it was easy.

Although having another baby was an easy decision getting there had it's heart ache. We lost one baby 12 weeks in, and it was the worst  time in my life. Not only did we lose it, but I hemorrhaged and had to have an emergency D&C. I was scared for my life and all things I would miss should I die. Thankfully after the surgery, and blood transfusion I felt 100 times better. We had booked a trip to Hawaii earlier in the year and the Doctors gave me the thumbs up to go on that vacation. So 2 days after the loss we packed up and headed to Hawaii. It couldn't have been better timing. I relaxed and did some major thinking. NO MORE BABIES FOR ME.

After we got home I wasn't really upset that I'd lost the baby. Things happen.  I told myself it's ok to not be depressed. Funny thing was...I was depressed.  Jeff finally talked me though the fact that I wouldn't be able to get over it, because deep down I did want to try again. He was SO right. After only 1 month we tired again, and here I am 30 weeks into this pregnancy. It's hard to completely enjoy it, because you are constantly wondering what might happen. So with 10 weeks to go I am still hesitant to let it all go and be totally happy.


The due date is Feb 10, 2011. I was a day late with the first, one day early with the second, so I bet this one will be right on time! We don't know the sex of the baby, and I am dying with anticipation.
