Brett is in Chicago this week (just a short flight away, right?!), and I cannot sleep! This is a usual occurrence when he's gone, but it is even more magnified by the fact that I have a big baby belly that is impeding my sleep routine. I have been a lighter sleeper lately (due to all the excitement, frequent trips to the bathroom, anxiousness, etc.), so the combination of that with him being gone is not much fun. So, I have put my extra time to good use after work and have been busy getting the nursery put together (a separate post to come very soon), scrapbooking (thanks, Kimberlee!), going out to dinner with co-workers (thanks, Nancy and Sherri :), having visitors (my sister and her boyfriend), and last but certainly not least, getting caught up on my blogging! I have lots to blog about, but I am waiting on some pictures from friends and our glider for the nursery...but once I get those things in line, we are ready for some posts!
Since I am up, I thought I would post the maternity pictures my cousin so graciously took of me at the end of June. Allison was kind enough to take on this project (I was her first expectant client, as she just does this on the side for engagement photos, model portfolios, etc.). She gave me the proofs this past weekend, and I was so excited to see her great work! I think she did an amazing job, but I may be biased (hey, we're related, and we took them outside on a beautiful day).
We met up one Saturday morning and headed to some area parks, and she captured what I believe are some very priceless photos of my current state: expanding (I was only 28 weeks at the time of these pictures, and my belly has DEFINITELY popped out there even more so since :) and excited!
We went to two different places, and in between three outfit changes, numerous water breaks, and plenty of resting in the shade, we had a blast!
Since the photographer is my cousin, she gave me the rights to the pictures:) I got to play around with the color on our Mac, which was fun to do!

The pictures look great! I hope you get better sleep this coming week!
Beautiful momma! You look great and so happy! Can't wait to see the nursery. Oh -- and ask your doctor first, but mine let me take an OTC sleeping pill that helped with the nausea and the sleeplessness..
Those pictures are great! Hope you're sleeping better now! Paige Stringer
