Everyone has their own cute little names for their little developing fetus, “peanut,” “gummy bear,” “monkey,” etc! Being that Ron and I are domesticated as well, we decided to dub ours, “bambino,” which was actually given to us by my Tito (uncle) Ed, although I’m sure he doesn’t remember
.
It’s been, what seems like, a loooong 13 weeks, and I’ve been been experiencing my right of passage into the baby factory gig. I’m still waiting for that day when I feel like a new woman again, but for now, Zofran PRN (as needed) is holding me down, err well holding my stomach contents down atleast
The hardest juggle however, has been the grad-school aspect of it all. Photography alone has been on the back burner, but not to worry because in two weeks, it will be nothing but pomp-and-circumstance blaring in this home of ours. Ironically, just like my fellow photogs have expressed that “wedding season” has begun, so too has “baby season.” So be on the look out for upcoming maternity sessions and newborns to grace this blog ![]()
For now, I leave you with this. Loved ones have been bugging me to post some pictures, so here they are.
