Holy, Exhaustion, Batman!

I forgot how sick and tired I get during pregnancy.

That's how I knew something was up. I was sick for days and couldn't shake it. Add that to my busy schedule and I am tres pooped.

Today alone I did all of the laundry, played with the kids, took care of the kids, made a backdrop, took promo pictures for Christmas minis, did social media on said minis, emails, phone calls, orders, post processing on images (I've got about 5 sessions in que from the past 2 weeks) that need to be finished before next week's sessions.

Tonight I'll be helping my husband teach a Bible study. Yesterday I had a 2 hour session and a client meeting and youth music practice. Tomorrow I've got to do more orders and process more images before youth service. Saturday I have a day off - YAY! - but I volunteered to work on the church Web site so it's not really a day off.

So far, baby hates gumbo and all things dairy. Chocolate is tolerated in large quantities and I fear will make my rear large as well.

But, I did make my appointment to see my midwife in a few weeks. Yay! She was my doula with T, so I'm glad that I'll get to have her care for the baby. The birthing center is about 2 blocks away from my husband's work, which is super convenient for him.

We're waiting to tell Auds and most everyone else until we hear the heartbeat and confirm that everything is okay. My bestie and a few select people know and that's about it. After the appointment, we'll be more open about it. I guess we'll announce to family at Thanksgiving.

The shock is starting to wear off and I'm starting to get excited - as excited as I can when all I want to do is sleep - about the baby coming.

That's the promo shots and the backdrop mentioned above. Gosh, I love that girl! Oh, and I dressed her, which explains the lack of accessories. She promptly changed after this into something more flamboyant.
