August 10 on 10

As always our days start out in my room where Adrain wakes up every single day!  Thank God for a king size bed because I don't know what would happen when Sid starts making her way in.  I already get stuck in the middle and being almost eight months pregnant I sweat like nobody's business!  Even when Manny leaves to work and I move over to his side of the bed she creeps over so she's right on top of me!  I suck it up though and just keep telling myself that I need to love it because their will come a day when she doesn't want to sleep in my bed anymore.  Well it's nice to know someone is well rested LOL!

 

 
 
 
 After breakfast we head over to the park for a few hours before it gets too hot.  As always I get a sign from my dad to let us know he's with us.  I can't believe it's already been four months since he's left this world!  I always thought it was impossible and I find myself still pretending that I will physically see him again.  I allow myself to pretend that he will walk through my door and as his vibrant, loud voice calls my name he washes any dishes in my sink.  I come in the kitchen and tell him his hair looks crazy and he laughs while running his wet hands through his hair and with his eyebrows moving up and down he says, "You got a handsome daddy"!  I've never missed anyone so much in my life!

 
 
Adrain plays a little three on three game of basketball!  It's her first time and she gets a little down on herself for not being as good as everyone else.  I tell her she did great and she tells me I shouldn't lie to her and only say what she wants to hear!  I'm pretty sure she is only 5 but sometimes she talks to me as if she is 25! 
 
 
Every Tuesday night we watch Americas Got Talent and Adrain says she will be on the show in the future.  She always asks if I want to hear the song she's going to sing and I listen while she belts out some random melody that she makes up from scratch!  In the below picture I asked her to sing her song for me and she didn't even hesitate at the opportunity!
 
 
 
 Today I am 31 weeks pregnant with baby girl #3!  These days Braxton Hicks has taken over daily and I lose my breath going up a flight of stairs but I am happy that she is healthy and consistently doing tae bo inside my belly! 



Every time I have a checkup appointment for baby girl these two love to play doctor and patient.
 
 
 
 Sid just coughing in Adrains face for no reason in the hospital parking lot!
 
 
I am trying to be in my photos more with my kids just because I want them to be able to look back and know that I was with them instead of always behind the camera.  It is definitely challenging and time consuming but I'm sure it will get easier as time goes on.  On the way home from the hospital Sidney told me she wanted to go to bed.  We read some books and then she just wanted to rock.  We do this every day so it was nice to be able to capture this memory.

  1. This blog is the best thing I've read and seen in a very long time. I can see your dad standing at your kitchen sink, I can hear your daughters laughing and I can see what a beautiful mother you are. Manny is a very lucky man but I bet he knows that already. This blog may turn into a book someday.....your photography is outstanding.
