Our pregnancy story

"this is the start of your sweet little story, the part where your page meets mine. No matter where your tale takes you tomorrow, our story will always read LOVE."

(the above picture was found on google and is not my image. This is temporary until I can shoot my own)

When I first saw that pregnancy stick turn positive, I knew my life had instantly changed. And not just the no-sushi, no more wine, no more heavy workout's way that is. I always thought I would be scared the moment I found out I was expecting, but I wasn't. I felt calm and happy. Rushing around town to reveal the news to Chris in a crazy, creative way was the most fun start to this journey. Seeing the tears welled up in Chris' eyes affirmed me we both felt the same way. It was like our whole lives, relationship, and marriage brought us to here to somewhere only we know. Finding out we would be parents was the fresh breathe of air I had wanted my whole life.

I knew right away I wanted to do many special things to document every moment here on out. I decided on a blog and weekly pregnancy progression shots coordinating for a book! I came up with the concept "fly, baby" organically. Through all the adversities in my own personal life the only means to overcome it all was the ability to soar through it. While taking the good in with the bad I always came out stronger. Our wish for our baby is to fly through every chapter life offers, coming out wiser, happier, and more durable each time. This is our next and newest, greatest, unexpected chapter and I can't wait to share every bit with you.

we're knocked up

Below is a series on how I told chris he was going to be a daddy. It was the weirdest thing ever, It's not like I pre-thought out any of this. But, it felt natural to to make it special. But, I've got to say, I am so tricky.... THANKS AMP fans for your inspiration! :)




the day that changed the path of my life...
