23 weeks!

My Portrait by Thea Coughlin
I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. I am delaying my celebration until our upcoming trip to Michigan, where I can thank my dad, in person, for being the most amazing father on the planet. Those kind of things just need to be said in-person, don't you agree? It was exciting to congratulate my husband on his very first Father's Day...even though he hasn't had to prove himself yet!
My Portrait by Thea Coughlin
I am now in my 23 week of pregnancy, almost six months...I can hardly believe it! When I was at Squam Art Workshops a few weeks ago, the lovely Thea Coughlin did a photo shoot with me, so that I would have some maternity pictures to remember this time by. I am not someone who is comfortable in front of the camera...I would much prefer staying behind the lens, but Thea made me feel so comfortable, so at ease. She is truly talented at what she does, so I am hardly surprised that I love the results (this coming from a girl who has never really loved a picture of herself!). I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you...which is a little scary, putting myself out there like that...but I know you'll be nice!

What are you talking about, you are beautiful!!! And it's fun to look back at the days when you were expecting and wonder on the miracle of life.

Sorry for intruding, came via Alice's blog and couldn't resist to click over to your title: Lavender and Limes.
