8 weeks.

Just a few weeks ago I started craving bacon and NEEDING strawberry Fanta, the first signs that Ryan and I are going to have a baby.  I immediately starting trying to figure out how we were going to tell people.  Obviously it had to be with a photo.  I started picking out which outfit I would wear and how I would wear my make up.. then I got REALLY nauseous and still do.  We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday and I couldn't bring myself to hold it in any longer.  I tried my hardest for two days to do my hair and make up and put on a cute outfit.  However, it just wasn't meant to be.  Most of you who have been photographed by me know that I like to photograph things as they are.  Real moments, things that really happen day to day.  Why in the world would I struggle to look all done up when I've spent the last few weeks laying in bed?  Even though I still wasn't brave enough to show my un-makeuped face, it's a pretty realistic photo....

We are stoked beyond belief and can't wait for (somewhere around) December 10th!
