The Danita Photoshoots

Danita finally sent us our professional photos about a month ago--but it has taken me this long to get them posted! She did a FANTASTIC job with our prenatal and newborn pictures. She even went through and did some photo-editing and made some beautifully artistic photos! Here are my favorites. There are a lot. Sorry. This IS me choosing just a couple of my favorites!

(All photos by Danita Pappas. The maternity photos were taken at the Oregon State Capital at approx. 37 weeks. The new baby photos were taken in our backyard and house when Edgar was just over a week old.)

Birth Art

Today was my last day of work. Suddenly I have space to breathe...internalize...and stay up past my bedtime listening to Pandora and coloring...

This obviously symbolic birth art was inspired by my ankles (or the lack thereof). It doesn't take much to imagine my legs as a tree trunk nowadays. Also...I'm thinking that the corona looks an awful lot like Alex's hair...

Things I am looking forward to in the near future:

• My nephew's wedding tomorrow--going to the temple and being with family
• My best friend Anna coming to visit me this next week
• Washing baby clothes and filling the drawers of the new dresser
• My final Birthing Class this week
• Meeting with my midwife again Monday
• Preparing a birth-day playlist for the mp3 player
• Shopping for baby's homecoming outfit
• A pedicure
• More Spring weather!
