This week.

Well, another crazy week has come and gone. I'm really looking forward to having some peace sometime... although it's not looking to be anytime soon. And even if it is, my ribs have become a daily footstool (or armrest b/c I think he's still breech) for Cole so it's not going to be a very comfortable break anyway :-) It didn't help that I fell down the stairs yesterday afternoon - no worries, just on my tailbone about 10 steps or so. But man, it was about as painful as some of my back-labor with Asher - yikes! The actual tailbone doesn't hurt, more like the back of my pelvis. It hurt a lot last night and not as much today, now the muscles in my back just hurt from trying to stop the fall so quickly I'm sure. Cole is as active as ever and otherwise, everything is still the same... if I'm still in pain in another few days I might go in for a checkup.

Stuff happens every day that I think to write about, but I get here at 9:15pm and am too tired to even try thinking about it. Ugh! Only 10 more weeks until baby #2 arrives and I'm aching for some stability in my life. Things are always changing and I feel like we never know what we are doing. It makes me want to tune out and just sleep for a week in the hopes that I'll have enough energy and excitement again to jump back into life. I've never been great at the whole "stamina" thing - in sports or real life - so I'm not sure how to combat all that while knowing that I'm going to be tired for a very long time.

Mark and I are trying to figure out how to make a studio work for me. We have some really great ideas - some that many people have already posed a lot of interest in - but with only 1 car it's tough to see how that will work unless the studio is here at home... which is actually a do-able alternative. So now, it's just time to save up for some equipment and work on a few "photo days" for some of my friends with kids until I can get the amount of $$$ I need. Wish me luck!

Lastly, I took some more photos of Asher today... and edited a few from the last week or 2. There are a lot... hope they make you smile!

Such a sly grin!


Being cute in the backyard.


"Momma help! I have dirt on my face!"


So serious sometimes.


And not so serious other times :-)


Just too darn cute!

    Wouldn't it be nice if we could just stop time for a week so we can sleep? Then when we wake up we're all recharged and didn't miss anything!
