Another Baby.....

...only this time I wasn't the photographer. However... I did have a little something to do with the picture. And hopefully this picture will help to explain my lack of blogging lately.....

Yup, That baby is mine! On friday I went into the OB/GYN and this sonogram showed that I was 8 weeks along - official due date - December 21, 2007. Merry Christmas, eh?
So yeah, I haven't been feeling my greatest. Mostly gaggy and tired.... okay, EXHAUSTED. And the wierdest thing..... Blogging makes me ill. Yup.. infact, just about anything that has to do with photography makes me wanna puke. I don't know what the deal is, but I hope I get over it soon. I have a senior shoot on Thursday and i'm dreading it. :P
With my last pregnancy it was any music by Jack Johnson.... yuckyuckyuck... and I loved his music. But it was MONTHS before I could listen to it without my stomach turning. And NOW... photography. I don't know what I'm gonna do but if anyone has any suggestions, I'll take em.
So... Thats our big news. We're so excited for #4 to join our family. Cliff's positive that I only wanted to do this so i could get myself a newborn model to work with. haha.. Well...lucky me anyway! :)

Eeeeek!!!! Congratulations!!! That is so exciting! I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. :( My husband thinks we had a baby so that I'd have a model, too- lol. Hope you feel better soon, and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Congratulations and I hope you feel better soon, I know for me it was pizza w/ my second son and he was almost FIVE yrs old before I could start eating it again!! Go figure! Hope you feel better soon:)

Melissa said...

That is great Amanda! CONGRATULATIONS! I heard yogurt is suppose to help with the yucky feeling. So funny your DH said that. My DD was trying to convince me last night that I could take pictures like that (I was looking at newborn shots) if I have a baby! LOL!

Armance said...

Wowwww!!! Congratulations Amanda!!!
You are so lucky to be pregnant !!!
But I feel sorry you don't feel good about photography... it's kind of weird and I really hope that you start feeling better soon!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! Oh wow! I'm so excited for you! I hope you feel better soon. I was sick all day long the first trimester but Zofran is a miracle drug! Maybe you can ask about it? It's safe enough for kids to take and no side effects. We'll be waiting anxiously for you to get back to photography & blogging. I've been missing you already!

Stephanie said...

Oh How wonderful!!! :D This is exciting news! Congratulations to you and your family! I'm sorry about the whole..photography making you puke. Um..how about taking up..sleeping? That seems to be a good 'hobby' when you're pregnant. :D Just my 2 cents. tee hee.. Hope you get feeling better soon though. Your work is amazing. :D

Kathy said...

Congrats. Your dh is funny and knows you well.
Hope you get to feeling better and get through the photography ordeal. Think positive!

Holly said...

Oh crap! Does that mean you don't want to come visit me and help me take pictures of my newborn? Ha ha! No really, congrats! You know that I'm so excited for you! I've been wondering when you were going to start telling people. K, I'm calling you today. Did you have a good birthday? Love you girl!

Mom2Drew said...

Oh how fun! We can share experiences;)

I don't know what to do about the photography, except to think about the picture opurtunities with the new little one perhaps?

Tiffany said...
