Sunny Six Month Mark!

There is not too much to say other than it was a beautiful weekend of playing outside and enjoying the weather. Well, except for the instant heat that generated intense allergies for just about everyone in our house!
I am officially six months pregnant and wondering where the time has gone! It feels like just yesterday I was driving Benjamin nuts taking pregnancy tests WAY too early but insisting I was, in fact, pregnant. I was getting positive tests at home even before my doctors office test came back positive, and that was only through blood work. Their "pee on a stick" tests were saying no when mine said yes! Alas, it feels like we celebrated that good news not long ago!

Miss Margot

I had the pleasure to photograph Charlotte's friend, Margot yesterday after photographing their stunning home (photos coming soon). She has such a beautiful face and boisterous personality...a real pleasure to photograph!

Bunnies + Eggs + Pearls

What a joyous Easter we had at the Racho's in Stamford! Charlotte was looking dapper as ever and the real highlight (for me) was Charlotte receiving her first strand of real pearls from our wonderful Aunt Mary. I was so thrilled with the gift that I immediately dressed Charlotte in her new baubles and I must say, she loved them.
I took so many pictures of Charlotte and we had a ball playing outside. I had my "cheapo" camera as I like to call it instead of my nice one, but the pictures are still cute!
We hit the 23 week mark of pregnancy and are looking forward to celebrating the six month mark next Saturday. I am feeling great and loving my bump! We cannot believe how time has flown by and we are thrilled to meet Baby Racho in a few short months!
We are indulging in this amazing weather lately. Dare I say it, I even soaked up some sunshine for a little tan...
Even just a simple Monday as today provided simple pleasures such as planting some new Forsythia (yes, I killed the old ones but I think I know why), reading on the porch when Charlotte napped and then spending some quality time running around the back yard with Charlotte and Frank. Maybe it is the Vitamin D or the pregnancy hormones, but I am so happy and feel so lucky to enjoy these moments! Now, I am off to roast a chicken. Happy Easter everyone!

Honeydew!

Lately I have been really into eating cantaloupe and honeydew, and I presume it is the warm weather making me crave these juicy melons! Charlotte and I enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather and ate some honeydew on our new adirondack chairs. My overall goal for my new chairs is to be able to lounge on sunny spring and summer days and get a little tan while Charlotte naps! We fell in love with the adirondack chairs at the Boat Basin Cottages in Nantucket. We finally bought some!
I am feeling energetic and lively just as I did when I was pregnant with Charlotte. Mornings have been difficult because I think allergies are making me wake up with minor headaches. The only difference with this pregnancy is that I am having more digestive issues. I got a lot of stomach aches with Charlotte, but I am getting more this time around. Oy! Otherwise, the pregnancies are very similar!
We have another ultrasound March 30th and we look forward to seeing her again!

Compo Beach Pictures!

Last weekend we enjoyed the first warm weather this March at Compo Beach in Westport. I took so many photographs, so this post is going to be short since the pictures really say it all! Charlotte was a little weary of the sand at first because it has been so long since she has played in it, but she warmed up to it and had a ball! Frank decided he was a "water dog", despite five years of hating the ocean...and he was in rare form! Enjoy our pics from this fun family day!
