You Capture will definitely be up tomorrow (Thursday) morning – hopefully by nine, but I make no promises. (it depends on my shower which used to take four minutes and now takes seven hours.) Also, my robe, that once fit, now looks like I’m dressing up as a child’s action hero, it is now my cape.
It’s not cute.
I’ve had a few emotionally tough days these past few days. I think I remember this with previous pregnancies, I’m just not sure. I wrote about it here, briefly, it’s pretty much a depressing post, so if you don’t feel like listening to someone complain about being tired and emotionally drained then uh….don’t go.
Do go here, however. I have teamed up with Tiny Prints, one of my all time favorite companies to work with and they are sending my readers a birth announcement once a little, tiny, squishy, delicious sound making, yummy smelling baby is born! TO YOU. Just go here and enter your address. This makes me so happy. It’s something I would have loved to have done, sending all of you wonderful people our birth announcement and now Tiny Prints makes it possible. I love it.
Tiny Prints is also giving away a $100 gift certificate over at Stephanie’s blog as part of the Nest Feathering Virtual Shower.
Have you been entering to win all of the amazing goodies that Stephanie has gathered up? I hope you have – this is such an amazing opportunity, I pinch myself, many times a day.
Speaking of Stephanie, she and I decided to do some shopping together with Ivy and Gray. It’s pretty much exactly what I needed to get me out of my glum mood, even if momentarily. We had lunch at Penn Station and went to Old Navy – it was so much fun. They provided me with a lot of light today, which I needed. Desperately.
Right, Ivy?
So fun! I do love Tiny Prints! My Christmas cards this year were the best! Thanks for hosting a giveaway so I could win!
And hang in there. I remember those last few weeks before all the joy. It’s worth it!
Hang in there. Hope your robe-turned-cape gives you just the super-mom strength you need these last few weeks.
I adore what Steph is doing for you – it’s so wonderful and heartwarming and has introduced me to some awesome companies I’d never heard of! I’m expecting my first in May so this has been great fun.
I love Tiny Prints so much. Their partner site, Wedding Paper Divas, did my wedding invitations last year and they were perfect. We got so many compliments on them!
Much love and hang in there…
Hope you feel better soon. Just blame the hormones
I just kissed that photo
on my phone. It was a light-filled day. So glad to spend it with you.
Steph
Can’t wait to get my announcement!
I hope you are feeling better after your outing today. Ivy’s face surely made me smile. You have such a wonderful friend in Stephanie. But you knew that already…
Hang in there Mama. Thank God for good friends and cute babies.
Thinking of you, Beth.

My goodness….those eyes!
Ivy looks so sweet there! Glad you had a good day today.
Hang in there Beth! Before you know it, you’ll be snuggling that sweet little boy!
Oh- the last little bit is always the worst. You poor thing. I hated every moment of the last month every time.
Good luck. Hopefully it’s over quickly.
Who let Ivy grow up to be that big??
And also, I dont get up till 7:30 my time. So don’t post until after that.. k? (I have no idea what time that is your time..)
If you post before that, link me up k!
And also, I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Dont ever feel bad about complaining to us.
Hi Beth! I still can’t believe we met today! I’m sorry I missed meeting Ivy..what a beautiful picture. I would love to talk photography sometime. I’m still learning my new camera. You are awesome….hang in there!!
Your baby shower looks like so much fun. However, my baby days are over
…I love babies!
Take care!!
You made me smile with the super hero cape visual! Hang in there, you are nearing the finish line. The prize at the end of the race will. be. amazing.
Oh, by the way. Great pic of Ivy! Her eyes are to die for.
Love to you. xo
The part about the bathrobe cape cracked me up! You are a super hero, growing a little person!
And that pic of Ivy definitely shows how much she looks like Steph!

what a smile…that would brighten my day too! Glad you got out for a little uplifting friend time…that always helps! Sending you light and love dear Beth!
Love that photo of Ivy. I love those days that friends bring me out of a funk. To see my mood do a 180 is totally awesome to reflect upon. (Okay a 180 in the positive direction, the other way just isn’t as awesome to reflect upon)
i’m so glad your day was brightened!
love you!
You and Steph are so lucky to have each other.
Also, I’ve decided that I would like you to follow me around with your camera because you take amazing photos! What do you think? Personal photographer gig in your future?
oh I hope you feel better soon. love this photo, the blue in her eyes is amazing and what a cute cheeky smile.
Oh that Ivy LaRue. She’s a doll.
Oh, what a sweetie that Ivy is! So cute!
Hope you feel better soon Beth!
