I thought it was only going to be pictures of Cal, but she had me get in some of them (actually, a lot of them!). I am so in love with the pictures and couldn't be happier with how they turned out!
Enjoy!

One month pictures!
I took Cal for his one month pictures with Tamara Lackey, our wedding photographer. She is SO talented and we are HUGE fans of hers. She was kind enough to waive the sitting fee since we are repeat clients. On our wedding day, she had a way of capturing our emotions the whole day, and I think she did a great job of doing that again with Cal.
Sad Anniversary
This past Saturday, the 14th, marked the one year anniversary of my miscarriage. I can't believe I am writing about it in such a public way, but I am not embarrassed about it, and I find when I talk about to people, there is someone else that has either experienced it themselves, or knows someone that has gone through it.
Last year, I found out I was pregnant on a Sunday, and I was beyond excited. It was still early, but we were super thrilled. We told our families and a lot of our close friends. That Friday I woke up to go to work, and I got my period :(. I was devastated. I had to go into work and try to hide my tears the whole day. I got into the doctor's office where they checked me and said it appeared to be a miscarriage, but wanted to do blood tests to confirm.
I was going to NYC with my mom for our annual "girl's trip" that afternoon, so while I was in the airport about to board my plane, the doctor called to confirm what I already knew.
It was SUCH a sad day, but I think that by going through it, it made me appreciate my pregnancy with Cal.
Looking back, I am able to see that it was God's way of taking care of an unhealthy baby, but at the time, it was difficult not to blame myself and think about everything I ate or drank to see if it was something I did.... well, it wasn't.
Sometimes you have to go through hard times like that in order to appreciate the true blessings that you are given. I sooooo appreciate my sweet little blessing.
For those of you that read this, if you have a miscarriage, know that you are not alone! It happens to a LOT of people! It is God's way of taking care of things and having you appreciate the blessings He gives you.
xxxxxooooo
