to stretch my legs.
Posted on February 26, 2009
I'm sure that every photographer out there right now is desperate for warm weather, blue skies and a fun family to photograph. At least I know I was. Thank goodness for today.
Not only did I get to photograph the sweetest little 6 pound bundle, I got to photograph one of my good friends and her son while teaching one of my favorite clients how to use her new DSLR. Oh those creative legs. They were tight and in major need of stretching. And to spend just a short amount of time with good friends was such a blessing.
I am tired beyond words but before I call my day done I wanted to post these photos for Emily. And a sneak peek for Sarah, Tim, Asher and Violet.
Babies first don't you think?
***the knit baby sac was made for me by a client's mother, Kathy, who is my knitting hero! She's been working so hard! Thanks Kathy!!!***
Sarah thinks that little Violet will have her Daddy's big brown eyes… I think she already has her Momma's beautiful blue eyes!
A great big thank you Crow family!
And now some photos for Emily:
Emily was up for anything and totally willing to be a model while I taught Amy all about camera settings. She even wore a SUPER colorful outfit like I asked her to! I love working with other photographers b/c they just GET IT! Thanks Em and have a great trip Amy! Manual all the way baby!
Well folks, I survived today on 1.5 hour of sleep. Not totally sure how but I did. Us moms, we're tough. My mom took the girls for a sleepover tonight so that we only have to deal with one crazy non-sleeping kid, thanks mom! I'm really hoping tonight goes better b/c sleep just sounds like heaven right now.
Damn Grey's repeat tonight. They just have NO idea what that does to a tired mom. I might write a letter. Ok. Day is DONE.

I didn’t see 5am.
Posted on February 26, 2009
But I did see every other hour in between.
Poor Grayson woke up yesterday night with a raging fever and was up almost all night with it. Yesterday he seemed to be better until the afternoon when it zoomed right up to 104 and I took him in to the doctor. Teething+virus=one sad little man.
Last night was the same, he was up at least once or twice an hour until at 2am he started screaming and just wouldn't stop until I literally sat in bed restraining him and singing. He passed out just before 5am.
After adding it up, I have had approximately 6.5 hours of sleep in the last 3 nights.
WTF.
And although I know I am tired and my brain is working just a tad slower this morning, I feel ok considering. I'm just wondering when severe sleep deprivation kicks in and what that looks like.
Sigh.
Luckily I have a sweet 7 day old baby waiting for me this morning and a fun session this afternoon. Will I make it through two sessions in one day while worrying and caring for a sick baby? Hopefully. Will I cancel the second one? Possibly. Will I be chugalugging the soda today? Hell yes.
How about if instead of prayers for ME today, everyone just collectively has a soda and maybe the massive caffeine rush will help energize me! Oh how I wish it worked like that.
And thanks for the prayers for sweet little Olivia (from my last post)… the surgery is today so please keep those prayers coming.
This day will NOT defeat me. Sleep will come eventually. I will not collapse into the mess of tears I feel are hiding behind this smile and exhausted exterior. If I can function today so can you so let's go!
