Baby Craze!!!

I have been neglecting my blog here lately as you can tell. Ever since June my mind has been racing with any and everything to do with the baby. I have the nursery all planned out, the baby shower invitations are designed and ready to print once we locked down a good estimated delivery date, crafty things to be made for the nursery are tumbling in my head and so much more. It's on the verge of driving me crazy. Until we move out of this apartment and into a house I can't actually create anything. If only our lease was up well before Squirt's arrival. Oh well. I have settled for starting her scrapbook. Oh, did I forget to mention that Squirt's a GIRL??? Yes, Yes!! I'm very excited about this. I would have been just as happy if she would have been a boy but there are just so many more cute little outfits and things for girls. I have already planned what she's going to wear for her 2 yr old photo shoot. I told you I'm going crazy with the planning! The only thing we haven't decided on yet is a name. There are some good contenders in the pot but we probably won't decide until she's actually born (which I'm being told is going to be more around Feb 16th than Mar 5th).

Sucking her thumb

In the craziness that has been my world these past few months I haven't been focusing on photography or my website which is amazing to me. I'm finally starting to really feel the withdrawl for shooting. I've been invited to a Jax Shoot Out club event later this month and I really hope I'll be able to make the drive down to Jacksonville. There are so many reasons I want to move back home and being able to attend these workshops with fellow photographers is at the top of the list. It's time to put the baby craze on hold for the moment so that I can grow as a photographer. That way when she comes I'll be even better and will have (hopefully) mastered shooting in RAW by then. I'm looking forward to meeting some of my favorite photographers that I blog-stalk at the shoot out this month.
