As I sit here and type this blog – a can feel the tiny little movements of a baby inside. Just the little flutters that make you realize there is indeed something in there.<\/p>\n
We find out whether this addition is a boy or a girl on July 10th. Either way – this will most likely be our last addition. I love being pregnant and would be thrilled to have at least 4 children. But I have to remember that we have 5 – and for all eternity – we will celebrate with them! I love being a momma – more than anything I’ve ever done. Jared keeps reminding me that kids are WAY out of his comfort zone – although – he is a FANTASTIC daddy to Fitzy. While our hearts are so happy with this little miracle and Fitzgerald – we still hurt from time to time. I don’t have a great history of staying pregnant. And while I don’t want to live my life in fear – I DO want to enjoy what I have been given. It’s a hard decision to make – thankfully – we have time.<\/p>\n
But especially with the 99% chance that this will be our last baby – I want to enjoy every precious minute I can.<\/p>\n
I took a maternity leave with Fitzy . Kinda. Sorta. Not really.<\/p>\n
And while I loved taking your pictures – I did miss that little baby.<\/p>\n
So this time – I will be taking 6 months off. Seriously. From November to April – I will not be scheduling any sessions or weddings. When I do return – it will be on a 1 wedding a month limit – with a handful of sessions (most likely current clients) each month. I am still trying to decide what to do about new referrals outside of seniors – since they are mostly always new clients. And this might be the norm from here on out – until my kiddos are all in school.<\/p>\n
I’ve known one thing my whole life – I want to be a momma. And God knew. And He heard. And He gave. And He gives. Again.<\/p>\n
SO – if you know that you want a session next year once May rolls around – it’s not too early to let me know. I already have one wedding in September and an inquiry for May. And if I’ve taken pictures for you before and you need some done while I am off – email me – and I will recommend some great photographers to you!<\/p>\n
Thank you all for your love – your support – your prayers. It means so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
