I have none words because I have a newborn but I do have these pictures from the olden days when I only had 2 children. You know, a whole almost-two-weeks ago. So really this should be called “Pictures I actually took the time to edit so look at them while I take a nap, OK?”
Since I currently can’t see my own feet, I took a lot of pictures of other people’s feet. And food.
Still pregnant.
Sunday:
Toys on the porch are more fun than toys in the house
Cuddles. Very grainy cuddles.

Frozen watermelon = even better than regular watermelon
Daddy feet! We haven’t seen those in a while.
Next doctor’s appointment is Tuesday. I’m going to sit on the table pantsless and refuse to leave until they get this baby out – or at least until they have a REAL PLAN to get it out in the very near future.
This week is simply called: Still Pregnant.
Sunday:
Who can possibly feel that depressed in the shoe aisle at Target?
She’s a fish
At least it makes a good shelf for dessert?

My cat says: For real, are you ever going to have that kid?
Saturday:
I LOVE MY BEAR MOMMY!
It was a really long, really hot week and by the end she wasn’t super excited about the fireworks
Obligatory blurry firework picture to prove we made the effort to go see them.
It took like 20 minutes to put that together and I am STILL pregnant. In case you were wondering.
Schooooooools out for summer! Good thing schools not out forever, or I would already be going insane. For now I’m planning to enjoy as much sleeping as possible.
Sunday:
E is baffled why ANYONE would lie in the horrible, horrible sand, let alone someone who shares his DNA

MOAR MAGIC SPARKLERS
Saturday:
I went to a (sad) estate sale where everything left in the house was for sale. I wish there was a way to go back in after the new owners fix it up, it’s going to be GORGEOUS.
I bought a stool at the estate sale. They are insisting it is a table.
Chugging her lemonade while refusing her dinner.
Tomorrow we start summer (outside!) swim lessons with the kids in two separate classes. Evan will be with bigger kids who I hope will challenge him. He’s the kind of kid who sees someone doing something cool and immediately wants to know how soon he can do it too.
Tomorrow I also start putting the nursery together FOR REAL because I cannot have a baby when I have NOWHERE to put it. And I would really like to have a baby ASAP. An outside baby would mean no more heartburn, which at this point is so bad I spend half the night staring at my bottle of Tums thinking “Oh, those kidney stones aren’t SO bad”. Plus after the actual getting-out part my pelvis wouldn’t hurt so much. You KNOW this is why nature makes the end of pregnancy so miserable – because it has to be BAD before you start hoping to push a watermelon out of your lady parts. I am ready for the watermelon.
I decided a little while ago my goal for 2015 is to apply for Pro status over at ClickinMoms. That gives me all of 2014 to improve and build a portfolio of work I love and am proud of – and because I just said it here, now I have to follow through. I’m also currently taking a class with the very talented Sallykate Photography so my camera is coming with me EVERYWHERE for the next few weeks. I’m hopeful I’ll have a newborn to practice on soon (PLEASE GOD LET ME HAVE A NEWBORN SOON) so I hope you like baby pictures.
These are all from two Sundays ago at Rocky Neck State Park, taken with my Nikon D600 and 50mm 1.4 Sigma lens. Editing in Lightroom only.
The beach was actually SUPER crowded and the water is brown because it was full of seaweed. It was also freezing. Neither kid cared. Also, Caroline loves sand. LOVES it. Rubbed her face in it. Weirdo.
