72 Days Left...

I am now in my third trimester of pregnancy with Addison.  This is my favorite time of pregnancy... Addison is big enough yet still small enough that I can feel all of her movements, morning, noon, and night.  I am craving fresh fruit, milk, root beer, ice cold water (with ice), iced chi lattes from Starbucks, and ice cream (Ben and Jerry's of course).  My mind races about meeting our precious little girl, wondering if she will look like Joey when she's born, hoping that Joey and Addison will be the best of friends for all time.

Ryan, Joey, and I have watched my stomach grow as the days have gone by.  We spend many evenings together feeling Addison roll around in my stomach, playing music for her, and talking about what we will do when she finally arrives.  Joey is already the most amazing big brother.  Always very concerned about her well-being and proud that he will soon have his little sister on her way.  My stomach gets much love these days from Joey... Random kisses, hugs, bumps, high fives, and lots of talking to!  

Being a mother is the very best gift that I could have been given.  It is an amazing time in my life and knowing that I will move on from this stage and enjoy many many years to come with my wonderful children, I wanted to be sure to capture the look of pregnancy.

Our dear friend and photographer, Kathy Disney spent some time with us and was able to capture the beauty that I was so unaware of in my pregnancy.  I can't thank her enough for all that she has done through out the years in capturing the images of our family and now capturing the simplicity and elegance of motherhood.  http://web.mac.com/kathydisney
