Same field, same hat, same hair, same girl, different look.

Casey helped take these :)

Love our girl who came a little too early for the world, but thriving! 18 months

Took some pics of this sweet family over the weekend! It was cool weather but we got through it quick and came out with some great shots!

Heavenly sunrise
One glorious morning
When our Lord takes us home
What a great celebration
One like we've never known

NICU for the holidays....

Our baby girl wanted to make a statement, so it seems, and came into this world during the worst hurricane our little town has ever experienced. The morning after Hurricane Helene, we were trapped in our community, with no way to travel to town. Later that evening, the roads cleared some, and we were able to make it to our local hospital. All was looking normal at the time, but throughout the weekend, I had a placenta abruption at some point and went into early labor at home. Our beautiful baby made her grand entrance September 29th, at Coffee Co. Hospital, exactly 3 months early from her due date.
We didn't get the "normal" experience, baby thrown on chest, etc. instead, she got intubated and prepped to head off to Savannah, GA.
Spending the fall and most of the winter season in the NICU felt sobering, and opened up a whole new world to us. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas....thankfully discharged before Valentine's day, though, the decorations were already being put up for that as well, and I was starting to lose hope of ever returning home.

27 weeks pregnant
No time for many maternity pictures
No time for nesting
No time for baby showers
No time for preparing for labor
I was the type that put all these things off, thinking there was still plenty of time
The type that didn't take weekly bump pics
The type that didn't take advantage of every second of baby in my womb
The type that done everything right so to speak

Now our baby girl is thriving, living her best life at home. After 123 days in the hospital, it all feels as if it never happened. Pictures are the only reminder, as she seems to have forgotten all the pokes and pricks as well, even not minding her little feet being touched anymore, and to see her now, you would never know she was 2 lbs and 6 oz!

Even so, I never want to forget the families daily in the NICU, there is never an empty bed, no matter the holiday or season. Hope can feel far off, but these babies are so strong, and so worth it, keep holding on, and staying strong. If you know a family facing anything similar, encourage them today. Keep the faith, stay strong, your baby's a fighter, just like you.

Psalm 3:3
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.

Six months down... 🥰

Pregnancy has it's challenges, and I've learned every day is different. It has definitely become a bit easier around the 20 weeks for me, but I'm sure I'll face more ups and downs as it goes. It has given me so much appreciation to all mothers!

We are just so excited for Christmas this year, to welcome our little girl to the world.....And to the farm.... 🥰

Also, self photography while pregnant, is not the easiest of tasks to do. 😅
