Boy or Girl

For a while I always thought Chad and I would wait to find out the sex of our baby. "The Surprise" factor I thought, would help me get through labor. Now that I have this little human growing inside me, I can't wait to find out if we have a little Amalie or Ezra in there. Right around the 4th of July we will find out at our 20 week apt. I have been rather healthy lately, which is such a blessing. Life was getting rather stressful, being sick all the time. We are all moved in to our new place, not quite situated yet, but soon. It's so exciting knowing this is the home we get to bring our son or daughter home to. Chad has been getting really excited lately, it is so cute. He is going to be a great father !

I have been feeling huge lately, and lots of people noticing my baby bump ! People actually think i'm either having twins or am further along than I thought..... we have an apt tomorrow at 1:45, so I guess if news changes I'll post then.

Little One:

It's the last few weeks of my first trimester and I'm praying I start feeling less sick really soon ! This whole experience has been so horrible (sorry trying not to whine too much) I sleep 12-15 hours a day, I'm not joking. I've been so tired ! I generally throw up twice a day and have lost 6 pounds. Nothings sounds good to eat but frozen yogurt. But thankfully I have the greatest husband in the world, who understands i'm not feeling great and has done everything to make me comfortable and help out getting chores done ect. When I get really down by being so sick we try to think of the positive things that will come of this and turn our thoughts to more enjoyable things. Like picking out names, looking a nursery furniture ect. This really helps me push through the last few weeks (fingers crossed) of feeling sick.

We are moving into a more family friendly apt next month. It won't be right downtown like our great place now, but it is right on a max line so downtown will just be a short 10 min trip away. It's twice the size of our apt now, with 2 bedrooms and even a laundry room ! woo hoo I'll post pics soon when we get the keys on the 7th !

Names we are liking so far:
Girl-
Amalie Claire
Lowry Genevieve

Boy-
Amos ?
Hayden Avery (chad's not a fan of this though ;)

We go in for a check up on tuesday, so once we know more i'll most something. I'm not showing or anything yet, but maybe in a month or so we'll get a belly pic up here.

Baby Chashley Due December 2nd.

Out of much surprise Chad and I found out a few weeks ago we will be expecting a little one. I've been rather emotional about the whole thing, since it was not the timing we had anticipated. But at the end of the day we are thankful to be fertile, and bringing a life into this world. God must have big plans for us. We trust him through this and hope for a healthy year.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can eat and not throw up as well :) will that day ever come?

EVENT POSTER

This was the Event poster I made for my ART 210 class. I had a lot of fun designing this. Below is the mailer that goes along with the poster.

Metro Sign Hybrid

For this project I first traced my original image in illustrator then after my complex rendering was complete I added textures in photoshop to make it look more realistic.
