So my idea to blog was gently swept away with my emotions and energy in the past few months. After the miscarriage, I tried to keep it together and keep going to work each day...and with each of those days felt like I was failing the students a little bit more. I know I didn't fail them, but I didn't give them my all. I was torn, I wanted to teach, I loved my class, but I also wanted to be home with my two girls...especially Presley who I felt like I barely knew. She went to daycare at 7 in the morning and I picked her up between 4:30 and 6. Then like a regularly scheduled t.v. show, she went to bed at 6 or 6:30. I finished the year at St. Mary's then decided not to go back to teaching. I've been a photographer for 5 years and wanted to concentrate on only that. I love to take photos, always have and now with the girls getting older, I thought I could do it! I've had a few shoots this season already and met some wonderful contacts. (Will post about them later)
Even though we didn't have our baby, three of my friends have had September babies and one of them was born on my due date! I had the honor of photographing him today and he is just precious. His name is Sam. One of my best friends from college had her first daughter, named Gabrielle Allison and my best friend since Kindergarten had her 3rd child, a girl named Blakelyn Grace. I also just found out another dear friend from college is pregnant with her first! So many babies! I've come to accept that it was not in the stars for us to have 3 and am so happy that I have two healthy beautiful little girls. Here is a photo of Baby Sam from today. What a sweetie!
