A Little Announcement . . . August 9, 2010
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Parenthood, Photography, Pregnancy, Thoughts, Utah , 3commentsSo, I must announce . . .
THERE IS NO NEWS IN THE LESHER HOUSEHOLD.
It was clear to me after I wrote about feeling legitimately sick (the contagious kind that started with Hannah, then went to Dallin, then David, then to me, then to my mother-in-law) that some of you thought I might be dealing with a stint of morning sickness.
Well, let me tell you, if there is anything that reminded me of how much I hate having the non-contagious flu (morning sickness) it was that sick day.
UGH. I am so not ready for baby #3. And honestly, who says there will be a baby #3? Two is good, right? We’re a family of four, plus a dog (with plans of getting another Whippet within the year) so we are good. For now anyway, and maybe forever. Who knows. All I know is pregnancy is a killer, and there is NO WAY, I repeat, NO WAY, I can care for two little needy people when I can’t even take care of myself. Pregnancy equals: trying not to die of massive migraines that last for weeks on end (I literally had a migraine when I was pregnant with Hannah for FOUR WEEKS, and if that doesn’t make you suicidal, then I’m not sure what will!) and trying not to loose more weight in the first four months (by vomiting up everything I put in my mouth) than I will gain the last five months. Somehow, parenting two little people while I am a beached whale, slowing dying on the floor, doesn’t sound like a plan for success.
So, there you have it. I’m not pregnant. Not now, not tomorrow.
Glad we cleared that up. :)
Gosh, so much has been happening lately. I’ve been busy shooting, which has been great, but has left me little to no personal time. I love it, and I’m working on balancing my life as a wife, mother, student, and working mom. It’s been a transition to balance my family and my professional life, especially since I’ve been out of the working world for five years. Luckily for me, I love what I do, and 90% of my work happens after my kids are asleep.
In other news, my niece, Jess, got married a couple weeks ago. I photographed her wedding, and enlisted the help of my good friend, Luone, to help me since I actually had to be in some of the shots. See the wedding pics here. I had a slammed packed couple of weeks with family fun, (lots of family in from out of town) but now things have calmed down a bit and I should be back to regular posting.
Don’t hold me to it though, the pressure might make me pop, and I don’t think I could handle that right now! :)
