For those of you who are wondering...

I am now 11 weeks along, and the baby is due November 4th. I had my first doctor visit on Tuesday and we (Dallas and I) were able to hear the heartbeat (so so cute!). If things were completely up to me I would've spread the news 4 or 5 weeks ago... if things were completely up to Dallas he wouldn't tell anyone and just wait to see who notices first. But in the end I kinda won (I guess), but honestly Dallas was getting anxious to share our news as well. I told him that it wasn't really worth it to keep it a secret since people already knew I was super baby hungry. People would start asking questions and I hate lying. I also wanted to tell my kids and I knew as soon as I did they would just give it away :) 

I have been feeling fine, but pregnant. If that makes sense. I get tired easily, yucky smells bother me, I have a hard time sleeping if I get woken up during the night, I have weird dreams, I get nauseous if I don't eat regularly and it's the worst at night. But really, I can't complain. This has probably been the easiest pregnancy for me so far. 

Oh and the pictures in the last post? That was one of the funnest photo shoots that I have done with my kids! I was taking the pictures by myself at first and then Evan joined in. He didn't even know what the signs said... he just loves the camera! I took the pictures for Dallas to surprise him... then I used the pictures to announce to our families that we are having a baby. Then I had to use them on the blog. One day I will post some of the other pictures we took. They are cute!

Months and months ago I found this idea and I fell in love with it. Go watch it now and you will see :) I decided right then and there that I would take weekly pictures of my next pregnancy so I could at least have something to document this time of my life. I really don't have any photos of myself pregnant with either of my kids. That makes me sad. Another thing that I want to do is a maternity photo shoot when I am in my last trimester. I just did a maternity shoot with my friend and I LOVE the pictures so much (you should take a look... here). 

So, about the weekly pictures... I started a series of photos for 6,8 and 10 weeks... but I am starting to get some different ideas for the series. I haven't decided exactly how I am going to do it yet, but I think I will start it at 12 weeks since I am starting to dislike the photos I already took. So hopefully by next week I'll have something to show you :)

With each of my pregnancies I wished I would have taken better pictures when all was said and done. I love this effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T3lOOKrsWI
