Blessed: 24 weeks

Lately, life has been beyond great. I'm surrounded by wonderful people.. an extraordinarily handsome & loving husband... and I'm thankful. At times its still hard for me to grasp the fact that I have a life growing inside of my belly - a true blessing!

Today marks 6 months into the pregnancy & seriously, has time not been flying?! Don't get me wrong, in no way am I complaining because it just means I'm one day closer to meeting my bundle of joy, but dang. Hopefully it slows down once she is here! I know, I'm dreaming right...

Explaining to Lola & Troy they cannot get jealous once baby Emma arrives ;)

I leave you with an uber adorable poem that a friend shared with me:

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer,

 bank accounts smaller, homes happier... 

the past forgotten, and the future worth living. 

Happy Monday <3's

Loammy | Downtown Whittier Portrait Session

 Last Thursday my friend Loammy headed out to have some fun... it was very difficult to choose my favorites!

 Loammy, you look so glamorous & beautiful in every frame! Your a natural friend! I had so much fun, hope it's not the last time :)

Happy Thursday <3's!

Week 22: Intro to MUSIC

Lately, no these past couple of months, all my energy & time has been going in one direction - baby. Reading & informing myself about recommended exercises, products, etc... its all been a bit overwhelming but I'm hanging in there. It's an exciting time in my life right now & I'd love to share my joy with you! Hope that you follow along for the ride :)

Two weeks ago I started a series on Facebook titled "Week by week" where I'll be taking a picture every two weeks so that we can go back later on & see the growing tummy.

Week 20 was very significant because it was the week I FIRST felt movement! And it was Ah-mazing!

Today marks the start of week 22! After daddy concludes his nightly convo with the baby, MUSIC will follow...

Last night we played some Jack Johnson & I think she loved it! Wouldn't stop wiggling inside my belly, which I totally enjoyed! Makes this all more real.  I don't have the words to describe the joy I feel to know there is a little life growing inside of me, which is a product of the love hubs & I share. This is definitely a blessing from above... 

We haven't met, but I'm already smitten beyond belief. 

Violet's 1 year Session

Do you guys remember beautiful Violet? We did a session when she was just three months & look what a gorgeous baby girl she's grown to be! Although I am no longer booking children sessions, but I had to share beautiful Violet :)

Thank you once again Cassandra & David for the opportunity to capture your growing baby girl!

Much love,

Belinda

Quote of the week: Thomas Edison

When I stumbled upon this quote by Thomas Edison, I knew right then I wanted to share it with all of you. Its very inspiring & uplifting. Because as we all may have experienced, life doesn't always go as planned. Circumstances, mistakes, relationships, goals, etc... 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this weeks quote & maybe hear about some of your favorites!

Happy Wednesday!
