Baby Video Monitor WARNING!!!

Last night I was messing with my baby video monitor,
changed channels and realized we weren't looking at
our own child.....we actually could see our neighbors kid!!!!
Took us a minute to figure out who it was...
called them and we both turned off ...
our baby monitors!!
SO BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO MONITOR....
you just never know who's watching your kids!

Knepp Engagement: Leah Robinson Photography

One of my favorite shoots to do is engagement/couples!
I love seeing couples "in-love" and let me tell ya...
these two are meant for each other!
They were both so fun and relaxed it made my
job a piece of cake!

Here's a sneak peek for the couple :)

Gotta love their "team rivalry"...he's a
Reds fan and she's a Cardinals fan
(at least she has good taste) haha!

Maternity Leave & Holiday Mini Sessions

Well many of you have asked me about Holiday
pictures, and I've taken some time to think about
the end of my pregnancy and when I need to take
time off. I've decided that I will not be shooting
after October 31, 2009.
Baby is due in January and this
will give me time to spend with my girls a
couple months before baby is here!
I will return after my maternity leave sometime in
March/April 2010 timeframe.
So if you want to book something...book now!! LOL
Email during the day is the fastest way to get a hold
of me!
It's starting to cool down & it's time to start thinking
about Christmas/Holiday pictures!!
So grab your sweater, your hat, and meet me for some
Christmas pictures!!!
I will be shooting Holiday Mini Sessions
on Saturday, October 10th from 9am-1pm and
Sunday October 11th from 3-7pm.
Saturday's session will be held at Eastside Washington Park
and Sunday's session will be held at West Bogg's Park
I am doing 20 minute sessions at 1/2 hr intervals...
first come first serve so book your time now!
Additional sets of cards can be purchased in sets
of 25 at $25/set and don't forget to order prints
as gifts for family!

Tell me it isn't so..........

Alli Jo started preschool this morning!!!
My baby girl is growing up :(
Left my camera at home so I didn't get any of
her walking in (will try that Thurs).
She was so excited last night she could hardly
get to sleep! One time she even told me,
"Mommy I woke up it's time for preschool!"
She just cracks me up!
The only thing I'm worried about is what to
pack her for lunch, she is the pickiest eater
in the world!

Tiny Blessings: Leah Robinson Photography

Earlier this year I had come across a prayer request for a family
that was in the process of adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia.
The parents just so happened to graduate from the same high
school I did, and when you're from a small town you know
everyone! I was so excited to pray for them on their
upcoming journey! I followed her blog and it touched my
heart deeply! March 9, 2009 - was their "Gotcha Day" and
on March 13th Eli was home forever with his family!

Well a few weeks ago I got a call from Kristi asking if I'd
shoot some photos of little Eli with his big sister and big bro!
I was beyond excited and honored and of course said yes!
Last night couldn't have been better with lighting..we had a
perfect overcast sky!


Here are few sneak peeks for mom & dad :)





I just love me some baby feet...so had to

throw this one in :)

Pregnancy - Day 140

Well I'm half-way there!!!
Today I'm 20 weeks pregnant!

Since getting sick this week, I've lost another 2 lbs again.
So I'm -2lbs from the start. My doc doesn't seem too
worried and hasn't said anything...so I'm not too worried
either. I really didn't need to gain much this pregnancy
so I think I'm doing good thus far!
Sleeping is something I'm not used to these days,
I've always said it's God's way of preparing us mommas
for the sleep-less nights ahead :)
I did stay home from work yesterday and actually slept til noon!
I don't think I've done that since I've been in college! ha
I think I really just needed a day to rest and not do anything!
Mom watched Alli Jo for me, and Hunter was at school.....so
I really didnt' have to worry about anything!

Despite not gaining any weight...I know that my belly is
growing and growing b/c my shirts are getting shorter LOL!
I'm going to have to do some more fall/winter shopping and
maybe that will be my last time to shop!
Here are some fun facts about baby this week:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now.
Baby's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom
and about 10 inches from head to heel —
the length of a banana.
He or she's swallowing more these days,
which is good practice for his digestive system.
She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky
by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate
in her bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper
(some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Oh and last but NOT least...
Today is Joe's 28th B-day and our
4 year Wedding Anniversary!
It's hard to believe we met when he was 22 and I was 21 :)

More sickness.....

Well sickness has struck our house again...YUCK!
Joe and I both feel like we're dying....I know we're babies :)
We both have sinus infections. I have a double ear infection as well
and bacterial infection they found in my urine, so I'm actually
on 3 prescriptions right now. UGH
Hunter woke up early Saturday throwing up. But only
threw up once, and was fine. But the rest of the
weekend had a really bad sore throat. So we took
her to dr yesterday and they think it will pass with
no meds! Alli Jo starting getting a runny nose, but has
seemed to surpass it for now :) She has been taking care
of mommy & daddy....runnig to get us kleenexes, etc. She
is such a good helper!
Baby Robinson is kicking a lot more these days! It is
such a calm feeling for momma b/c I know all is well :)
They're aren't really hard kicks....just enough to let me
know she's there!
