22 Week Baby Update

Well, there isn't too much to update on. It has been pretty uneventful, which is good. I am feeling fine, but feel huge already. I can't wait for August! Just kidding. My hands have swelled and I can't wear my wedding ring anymore. I tease Ian and tell him I am not married anymore! My feet are also starting to swell a bit and I am starting to waddle. Fun! My main craving is still Golden Spoon and sometimes strawberries.

The baby is developing perfectly, as far as the doctor can tell. Being as he was already measuring big at the last ultrasound, I think he is going to be big! He also moves a lot! He is still pretty low in my belly, but on Saturday, he was up higher and was kicking so hard in one spot, you could see my skin poke out! It was pretty neat, although it looked a little alien like. Ian is able to feel him more now and we noticed he moves when Ian talks to him or if Ian plays the guitar.

We now have all the nursery furniture in the baby's room. We are doing a vintage circus/carnival type theme. No clowns; just the animals and balloons and such. I found some really neat vintage circus posters with elephants and lion tamers that I am getting. The colors are darker reds, yellows, blues, etc. Over the weekend I bought fabric to make the bedding. Well, my Motsy is probably going to make most of it, but I need to learn how to use my sewing machine, so I am helping too. We just need to get some finishing decor pieces now and we are ready to go!

Dying Easter Eggs

We held our third annual Easter Egg dying get together with the Sukraws at our new place. It was pretty mellow, especially because I can't drink right now. Our eggs turned out amazing and my egg salad sandwiches I had for the next week were delicious! I can't wait for next year and Sawyer can join in the fun!


I look absolutely horrid in these pictures!

Ward Family Maternity Photos

This was my first maternity photo shoot. Sarah and Brock are having a little girl at the end of April. Sarah is so tiny you can barely tell she is pregnant! Again, I am slacking on getting the pictures done, but I will post more when I can.


Wyatt - 6 Months Old

Wyatt is the first baby that I ever photographed. Here are a couple from his 6 month old photo shoot. He was too cute with his little mohawk! 

I had bought the red chair at the Salvation Army that day and Wyatt couldn't stop staring at it! I think I want to distress it some more, but I am loving the color of it.


Baby Madison

My friend Charlotte had her baby girl Peyton in February and I was able to take some pictures for her when she was in town recently. Peyton is so adorable! I have so many photos to go through still and I am lagging on getting them out, but here are a couple for now. I will post more later!


More of the soon to be Halls

I am slowly working on Erika's engagement photos. Here are a handful that I have done, although there are a ton more! I am not even close to being finished! She looks so beautiful and happy! Their wedding is this September and sounds awesome!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Ian and I have been married two years already! It seems like just yesterday that we met while working at TGI Fridays! I can still remember feeling giddy when he held my hand or softly kissed my cheek. We have been through so much together over the past 6+ years and now we are expecting our first baby! I can't wait for many more years of excitement with this man!

I love you more than all the atoms!

Its a boy!

So we went in today for our 18 week ultrasound and found out we are having a little boy! His name will be Sawyer Watson Perreira! We are so excited. I thought for sure in the beginning it was going to be a girl because all the old wives' tales pointed to girl. After my last doctors' appointment though, I kind of had a feeling that it might be a boy, based on the heart rate. Turns out, it is a boy!

Here is our little boy!

We got to see this shot a few weeks ago.
