			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week brought on many things to celebrate! First off, as you may have noticed, my photography business is undergoing brand re-development and I couldn&#8217;t be more excited for a fresh new look that totally compliments my style! Originally, I had planned to launch both blog and website at the same time, but since my blog can&#8217;t really take a break to be placed *under construction*, i thought I&#8217;d go ahead and launch my blog first!</p>
<p>Secondly, I&#8217;ve finally reached 20 weeks gestation which means, I&#8217;m half <em>done </em>with pregnancy!!! My second trimester has definitely been more pleasant than my first. For one, I&#8217;m no longer feeling, or<em> looking</em> green, and I&#8217;m always on a constant high&#8230; to the point where i feel like singing and dancing all day long like nobody&#8217;s business. <img src='http://www.kristineatienza.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  On that note, I&#8217;ve also been extreeeeeemely exhausted. So I&#8217;ve been having to nap more frequently than usual. I&#8217;m also starting to finally feel my little bambina kick, which has been both amazing and weird at the same time! As for cravings (because that&#8217;s been a frequently asked question), I&#8217;d have to say, <em>Chocolate please</em>!!!</p>
<p>To capture this moment in my life, I had my husband Ron snap a few photos of me over the weekend. To be honest, I was actually embarrassed and <em>shy </em>about being on the other side of the camera. But when I looked back on all of this year&#8217;s pictures that had me in it, I realized there really weren&#8217;t that many due to the fact that <em>I&#8217;m always on the other side of the camera</em>. As for Ron, he was extremely nervous because well, let&#8217;s face it, photography is definitely <em>not</em> his thing. Being in the field of anesthesia, he thinks more with the left side of his brain&#8230; constantly analyzing the logical and sequential aspects behind every bit and piece of information. Yep, he literally holds people&#8217;s lives in his hands every day on the operating table, yet he stresses out when it comes to using my dslr! hehe! This past Saturday, I challenged him to utilize the right side of his brain for 20 minutes.  Here&#8217;s what he produced <em>(with a little bit of metering direction from me of course!)</em> &#8230;. Should I be worried?! lol!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I know I have a small bump, and I&#8217;ve managed to avoid maternity pants so far&#8230;  but she&#8217;s in there somewhere&#8230; and actually, based on our last ultrasound, her weight put her at a few days ahead of schedule!<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1305" title="Orange County Maternity Photography" src="http://www.kristineatienza.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ikca05.jpg" alt="Orange County Maternity Photography" width="725" height="483" /><br />
Here&#8217;s my handsome hubby,I was using him to meter and input my settings in this photo. Funny thing is, he suddenly mustered the confidence to <em>consider </em>a Ron Atienza Photography! lol! <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1306" title="Orange County Maternity Photography" src="http://www.kristineatienza.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ikca08.jpg" alt="Orange County Maternity Photography" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p><em>Happy Monday!!!</em></p>
