photo from my maternity shoot with the fantastic Tara Whitney. More to come. Rounding the corner here. Still reasonably patient. The end of the pregnancy sort of reminds me of the end of high school or the the end of college. You wait about nine months (and many, many years in those cases) for the…

The past few days, I have made a point to take photos from the time when I wake up until when I sit at my computer to start working. This is usually about a 45 minute time period. I wake up without an alarm, usually between 6:10 and 7:15. I am loving the early rise…

tank top is j.crew, navy and white striped sweater is gap. Today I am so thankful for my tiny valentine. This little lady, who I have never met, has already stolen my heart. She's my favorite and I don't even know her yet. The emotional roller-coaster that comes with waiting to become a parent is…

enjoying my last few weeks with Paul home. planning trips and girlfriend adventures for the next few months. thrilled to be pregnant with a baby girl. praying she stays healthy & keeps growing. celebrating reaching the halfway mark with her! resisting (almost) all the adorable baby clothes. covering our fridge with ultrasound photos. preparing for…

Before I wrapped up mile a day, I started thinking about what could be next. I still think running is rad and plan on incorporating (slow!) runs into my routine for the next few months, but I really wanted to try yoga for a different strengthening exercise. I have been on a yoga kick before.…
