In six short weeks my family of four will grow to five! Six weeks seems like forever for this pregnant Mama but in all reality it's not. To be honest, three kids scares me. I am so excited to see this little man that has been growing inside me, but I worry at the same time. I worry that this little man will have colic and acid reflux like Andrew(Andrew seriously screamed for the first four months of his life), something during delivery will go wrong or that something will be physically wrong with the baby. I just wrapped up a class called 'Working with Children with Special Needs' and let me tell you, that class created a lot of sleepless nights for this Mama. I think every Mother gets antsy towards the end and thinks about all the what if's, it's normal.
So, instead of worrying about the baby so much I have been trying really hard to focus on the now. My now is school (finally finishing up a degree), my amazing husband and two beautiful children. This last week Andrew had a mid-winter break and I tried to take advantage of that time. We worked on lot's of projects, put in hours of reading and explored our little town more. During this break it hit me that this was my last full week to enjoy the kids just being kids. In March Brandon switches to swing shift and I start my field experience for school. To finish my field experience Ava will be put into daycare for the first time and Andrew will be in school. March is going to be a crazy busy month and I hope we can make the most of it before the baby arrives. We have fun weekends planned to make up for the crazy work weeks so I hope the kids won't suffer. I know lots of Mom's work, but for me this is new. I have been a stay at home Mom since Andrew was born so the thought of being gone all week from the house makes me nervous.
As my time as a family of four quickly comes to a end I wanted to capture my children before life gets busy. I plan to take the babies newborn photos so I had to play with the lighting in my house. The natural light was coming in perfectly through our living room window. I am so happy with how these photos turned out and plan to frame them soon. We may have had to talk about farts to get these smiles, but hey it worked! Don't judge my techniques ha ha!
