Filed under: portraits,seniors — admin at 4:13 pm on Sunday, September 19, 2010

Mariah messaged me on FACEBOOK looking for an awesome senior session!

She is friends with Katrina & Stephanie – sisters that I’ve babysat since they were born – and Stephanie’s senior session will be up the blog much later.

We met on a HOT August afternoon at Round Top park!

*R* – 6 MONTHS

Filed under: babes,kiddos,portraits — admin at 9:38 am on Saturday, September 18, 2010

I met Keesha when I took her sweet babe’s newborn photos – and we set up a session for her 6 month portraits!

Time flies way too quickly!

Keesha assured me that *R* is one of the happiest babies ever – but the moment I enter the room – the seriousness turns on.

I often tell people that I have a something about me that makes babies turn on the serious look. Either way – we got great shots!

Thanks so much for welcoming me into your home again! I cannot wait to see you for her next session – which will be here before we know it!

SWEETNESS UPDATE

Filed under: baby barden,bardenisms,just because,TMJ — admin at 2:16 pm on Friday, September 17, 2010

I had an appointment this morning to change my anti-anxiety medication over to something safer throughout pregnancy – but there isn’t any for my situation. My anxiety is brought on by my jaw pain – so my Amitriptyline was more for pain control and anxiety brought on by the pain.

Please pray for me specifically in that area. I have been on that medication for almost 5 years and it has made my life slightly more bearable. The appliance I wear for my jaw helps a GREAT deal – so I am trusting that will remain the case. The fall and spring are hard for me anyway with the change in temperatures.

Our first OB appointment isn’t until October 22nd – which I am not too excited about! I am not letting myself get overly excited until I see our little miracle on an US – but as it is – God has other plans for my faith. I told the nurse our history and my fears about wanting to make sure the baby is okay – and they still kept me at Oct 22nd. – which puts me at 10 weeks and 6 days – which is normal I suppose!

The last few mornings have been tough – and late nights – and I am STARVING all the time. I actually took a 3 hour nap this week – which is not like me at all! I haven’t been editing nearly as much as I should because my office chair and my hips are in an argument at the moment. My head doesn’t like to stay up on it’s own too much without my medication to dull my jaw pain and craziness. Thankfully I set up Jared’s laptop to edit my photos – which is slower than normal – but it’s getting done!

Jared has been awesome – so great with helping me out and letting me rest and understanding that our house is literally a sty. My clients have been so understanding that my normal turn-around time of less than a week is non-existent too! September and October are my busiest months and God is just teaching me that I need to slow down since I am on fast forward all the time!

Thank you again for all your prayers and thoughts! We love all of you and are blessed to call you friends and family!
