Our Maternity Photos Are IN!

I have been counting down the days to pick up these photos, I'm so happy with the results and am even more grateful to my girlfriends for the gift. I keep looking at them and they truly are everything I could have hoped for.
I was so unsure about having an on location photographer and I was even more unsure of what to wear or what room to take the photos in. So off I went onto Google and started looking at others' maternity shoots to find the mood and scene's that I felt expressed Tony and I best. Good thing "on location" turned out to naturally pick up our Traditional Style and I love that the shoot expresses both our fun loving down to earth personality as well as our dressed up stylish side. A perfect pairing in my mind.

Enjoy my favourite from the bunch.

Lots of Love
Christy Lynn

Are you feeling "DONE" yet?

Closing out Week 36 - Normally I'm a girl that see's the glass half full. Not that I want to sit here and banter negativity, but I do see it only fair to paint a fair picture of all the ups and downs of my journey.

This week just feels like it keeps going down, and to be honest it's not necessarily a physical down but more emotional. It could be the 5 - 2 (bad - good) sleepless nights or that I am so incredibly BOARD out of my mind. I feel like your told to rest plenty and stay off your feet. First of all, me learning to rest was a feat in itself, secondly rest doesn't make for great company. I have removed myself from my normal hussle and bussle of weekday and weekend visits in an effort to keep my pregnancy more physically comfortable. And I feel like it has resulted in losing a little bit of me... my fun, spirited, social me.

I'm going through the days just willing them to count down faster, and I look forward to the next social outing to come and then panic sets in that I am unable to socialize normally. I am unable to concentrate on conversations, I could be staring right at you hanging on every word and then my mind goes blank and I have no idea where my head went. I feel so terrible to ask what we were just talking about as though I wasn't paying attention or that the conversation wasn't good enough for me, but honest it's not that. As a result I avoid long conversations which just pulls me out of more social settings.

When I do venture out I find myself "preparing" to put on a happy face. And it almost feels like a glaze over my face that freezes my eyes to look warm and content, while I cast a slight smile to give me a soft, delicate glow. At the end of the day if I can get home and no one is non the wiser, then it was a successful day out.

Is this what woman mean, when they ask you if your "DONE" if so then YES! I'm Done.

Just keeping it real.

Lots of Love,
Christy Lynn xoxo
