Oh, and Happy Mother’s Day!
I do have just as good of an excuse this time … from the time of my last post until about two weeks ago, I was in a last minute Senior session frenzy. Wade’s mom also came for a visit at the end of April, I had a doctor’s appointment (everything is looking good) and we celebrated Mandy’s 25th birthday and Eleni’s 6th birthday. Last week I had a last Senior session, a newborn session and a 1 year old session, so business is looking pretty good for now. Its nice to have a break from the constant weekend Senior shoots, but I’ve already started getting things together to start the Senior 2009 season! On top of that, I’m getting ready for my two weddings, which are only 2 weeks away. AND I had my first bridal session, with 2 more on the books for this month … whew! So see, I have a good reason to forget about blogging, right?? I also created a new blog for my business and started working on updating my website. Check out my new blog here:

We ventured a little more in depth with potty training last week, but now I’m not so sure about it. Hayden had 2 accidents in a 5 minute span of time and the next day, had another accident, but we didn’t realize until a little bit afterwards b/c he didnt seem to mind soaking wet underwear … plus, we had no idea where the accident happened! Thank goodness we have concrete floors!
I’m now 16 weeks along and we have our “BIG” ultrasound on June 3. I can’t wait!!! People keep asking what I’m hoping for and honestly, I don’t care either way. I’d love a little girl, because what mother doesn’t want a daughter, but I’d love to have another little boy and a brother for Hayden as well! I think (hope) my weight has slowed a bit, but I’ve been steadily getting bigger and I’m showing quite a bit already. I know its time for a new belly shot as well, I’ll try to get that soon! I think I’ve been feeling the baby move the last week, but its so hard to tell at this point, it still feels a lot like gas bubbles, so I’m still waiting for that one definite kick!
Our weekends have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks, being in New Orleans quite a bit for various things. Yesterday we spent the day in MS visiting with my grandma and various other relatives. It was a nice, relaxing day and Hayden got to play with Eleni a lot, which he loved. Ethan had little Aiden to play with, my cousin’s 6 month old who is absolutely precious! The only pictures I took all day were of Ethan! Somehow, I never feel like pulling out the camera when I know I should, definitely something I need to improve on.
Right now, we’re at my mom and dad’s and I’m extremely tired because I stayed up until 3:30 reading a new book that I absolutely could not put down. Its called Twilight and its a teenage vampire love story … I wasn’t interested much when Kelly first mentioned it to me, but she lent the book to me and I started reading it 2 days ago. When I laid down last night, I was only on page 95 and already exhausted, so I meant to just read a couple of chapters. Well, this book is definitely one of the most compelling books I’ve ever picked up and I HAD to finish it! There are 2 more books in the series, with another due out in August. Kelly has the next 2, but I don’t think I can wait to get them from her, so I’ll probably pick up book 2 on my way home this afternoon. I just can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen!
I do have a few various pictures that I need to edit and upload, so I’ll try to get them up this week.
OH! And can you believe that a year ago today, Wade and I were closing on our first house!? And tomorrow is our one year wedding anniversary! I can’t believe its already been a year (and I can’t wait to eat our leftover cake LOLOLOL) We’re going to try to go out to eat at Cafe JoJo’s tomorrow or Tuesday, if I can manage to find a babysitter 
I LOVE Cafe JoJo’s!!!
