baby, you'll be here soon

It doesn't feel like a lot of time has passed since we shared our secret with you all... but gee it's gone quick!

We're well over half way now and yes I have a serious bump sticking out now! It's an amazing feeling. I still feel blessed every day, especially when I feel the little critter wiggle around inside me. Some people have asked if it's an active baby... well, to me it is! It's the first time I've had a little human growing in my belly and I feel it all the time now, especially throughout the night. The interruption of my sleep has already begun, it usually wakes me up at about 2am and has a little dance and wakes me up again at about 7am - think it's the baby's way of telling me it's hungry! 

I am totally loving this experience. I feel so lucky, so happy and so so so excited to meet this little person. 

Over the next few months we are very busy, so I know time will just continue to fly on by. That's good though.

Holly & Leigh | I like you because . . .

"I like you and I know why.
I like you because you are a good person to like.
I like you because when I tell you something special, you know it's special
And you remember it a long, long time.
You say, Remember when you told me something special
And both of us remember

If I break my arm, and if you break your arm too
Then it's fun to have a broken arm
I tell you about mine, you tell me about yours
We are both sorry
We write our names and draw pictures
We show everybody and they wish they had a broken arm too "

Holly & Leigh's ceremony had everyone chuckling. They read "I like you" - a children's book all about the one you love. It was a very sweet way to express how they feel about each other.

I've known Holly & Leigh for quite some time. They met and liked one another instantly, but the timing wasn't right. Later, they met up again and you could say the rest is history. Holly & Leigh went on a romantic holiday - Leigh couldn't wait, he didn't even have the ring, but his excitement took over and he proposed to Holly. Holly then tied a ribbon around her finger to represent the ring. So sweet. 

The two chose to tie the knot at Tom's Cap Vineyard Retreat. Up there, the air was fresh, the clouds were hovering and the sun managed to sneak out for the ceremony. Then, the rain began to fall and we thought we may have to hide inside to take our photos. Luckily enough, the drizzle stopped and we all bravely ventured out (sorry to the girls who were freezing in their dresses!).

"I like you because I don't know why but
Everything that happens is nicer with you
I can't remember when I didn't like you
It must have been lonesome then . . ."
