Maternity Leave- Not Taking Pictures, But Working on Orders...

Well, I have officially started my maternity leave as I await the arrival of Baby Jaclyn. I was hoping to work the first week in January, but unfortunately, I am not able to. I have reached the miserable stage of the pregnancy, which I guess I cannot complain about too much. Overall, I have had a great pregnancy and experience- none of the horrors you hear about.

However, I am very uncomfortable and am keeping an eye on some swelling that keeps happening in one foot. As long as I don't wear shoes and stay off my feet as much as possible, I am fine. But, taking pictures on my feet all day makes that more difficult. So, I have decided to rest as much as possible as we wait. Fortunately, I am not having any problems with my blood pressure.

Currently, I am 80% and a fingertip and my next appointment will be Tuesday, January 5th. They will do another ultrasound to see how much she is weighing. At 33 weeks, she was weighing 5 lbs. 15 oz, so it's possible, she could be a bigger baby.

Although I am not taking pictures right now, I am still working on portrait orders from home- at least until she is born. After her arrival and we return home and get adjusted, I will still be able to work on orders as I can. So, if you had a session prior to Christmas and want to order, please feel free to email me at emmie@1kwordsphotography.com or leave me a message at 662-305-5687. I am periodically checking messages and returning them as soon as I can.

I hope you have a great start to 2010 and I look forward to seeing you in the Spring!
