I love stripes. I dress myself in stripes. I dress my husband in stripes. I dress my children in stripes. I recommend stripes to my friends when we go shopping.
I suppose you can say that I am slightly obsessed.
This is just a small portion of BB's clothes I've bought in preparation of her arrival. Stripes. Stripes. Stripes. I love it.
I'm starting a new 30 day photos project to help occupy my mind this coming month before BB's arrival. My lists have lists of things to get done and why not throw a photo project in there as well. I know I need this to keep my mind sane and I will enjoy looking back at these photos after she's here. You may remember that I did a similar project when I was counting down the days to knowing if the tea house would be mine. Ever so often, I look back at those photos and am so grateful to have those memories. It was such a stressful time in my life but reminds me that I got through it and that I can do it again now.
And for this occasion I've challenged myself to use only my 50mm lens. It's oldie but a goodie that I haven't used in ages. Will be good to exercise my brain on how to work outside it's fixed lens box.
So, here's to counting down 30 days. Actually 31 days since she's scheduled to make her appearance on December 1st, 2009. But my slightly obsessional side needs me to start on the first of the month and not the second.
Love the stripes. Love the 50 mm. Love you! Can't wait to see the photos to come over the next 30 days...and in the end we get to meet BB!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures you take. 50mm is a very useful length in a lens, especially if it's a fast lens - you can get some lovely DOF then. My Canon 50mm 1.4 is a great lens.
Max looked so cute in his Tigger costume!

Aww so cute!! Can't wait to see her; I'm sure she will be just as gorgeous as her big brother :) Also, just wanted to say I'm sorry you didn't get to try for the VBAC you were thinking of.. must've been a hard decision.

Oh my gosh, love this shot! And I love stripes, too, although I have to admit perhaps not nearly to the same extent... :o) I'm envious of all those adorable clothes! If I could let go, BOY, would I go crazy with Emma! As it is, I have to be careful, but I'm tempted all the time, even just on-line...
Looking forward to seeing all your lovely photos, Aimée, and of course to seeing the arrival of your little girl -- in such a short time!
