First Photo Shoot

Our first photo shoot was with Carrie Nawarynski Photography.  Carrie was referred to me by my cousin's fiance.  Carrie is located closer to the Allentown area so when she suggested us having the pictures taken at a park near her home, we were happy to oblige.  Any time out and away from home is a good time, even if it is only 45 minutes away.

We we went to Lock Ridge Furnace Park and if you Google that, you can find out where it is.  The park was beautiful.  It is the location of the Lock Ridge Iron Works, which closed in 1921.  The stone structures that are still standing are amazing and are a perfect place for pictures.  Once we were done with our pictures, we decided to walk through the park.  Baby Girl wasn't crazy about it, but she managed.


If you look closely at the last picture, you will see a snake.  I almost stepped on that thing but when I saw it, I screamed like a little girl and ran!  Fortunately it was dead but Bryan had a good laugh.

The best part of the park?  The field of Blue Bells.  This is a Blue Bell...

There is literally a small field of these things in that park.  They were almost done blooming and had been pretty trampled when we did our photos but they were still beautiful.

The photo shoot starts in the field of Blue Bells and then ends at the stone structures. 


It was pretty windy so we had to work around that but Baby Girl did a great job.  She gave us about 45 minutes of happy time and then she was done!  There are so many great pictures of her and I can't wait to get them printed!  We will do another photo shoot in August when she is 8 months old.  I can't wait to see all of the changes in her then!

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...
