It's my favorite time of the year! Trampoline time It's my favorite time of the year! Trampoline time. Little miss can get up there by herself, funny face always included 😄 the net and liner are starting to fall apart so it might be time to invest in a new one.

I was so bummed, yesterday was a beautiful spring day, 77°F and the sun was shining. I wanted to take pictures of my mom's rose bush. But guess who developed a terrible migraine?! Me! And also guess who still feels terrible and exhausted!? Me! This pregnancy is knocking me out!! But rose bush pictures coming soon once I feel better. 😩 migraine has turned into a headache today. I barely have the energy to get out of bed.

Not my puppy! Meet Millie. My mom's puppy. My sist Not my puppy! Meet Millie. My mom's puppy. My sister got her for my grandma before she passed away. She is so sweet and just the cutest thing ever. My kids love her! 

I'm slowly feeling more motivated. I still have morning sickness but it is fading. I see a light! This pregnancy has really hit me hard! But then again, the first trimester is always brutal. Right? I'm just happy I'm feeling motivated and well enough to shoot once a week. That's a win for me!

Last night I took some photos and my son was SO excited and willing to model for me. I got some really cute shots that I'll be sharing over the next few weeks. I'm so thankful for his willingness to make me happy!!
