I got a gorgeous highchair, and met an awesome photographer… all in one day! :)

Author sherryae76Posted on 1 Comment

Today started out kind of blah, but this evening has been great!  Aaron and I went to another baby-check up today.  I now weigh 156 pounds.  Blood pressure is great.  Baby’s weight, and heartbeat are perfect.  I now will begin seeing the Dr. every week until I deliver.

When we got home,  Aaron and I went to pick up an antique highchair that we found on Craigslist for cheap.   It is a Pulaski Keepsakes Solid Oak High Chair.  You wouldn’t find this type of highchair in Walmart or Target.  It is exactly what I’ve been looking for!   And this highchair was right in town!  It was only minutes away!  What luck!

Look at the detail!

But the BEST part is getting to meet the woman who sold it to us.  I LOVE how God works!!!   Her name is Shelia, and she is an extremely talented photographer of She Designs Photography!   I have been a fan of her work for awhile!  And Aaron and I got to meet her!  As you know from my previous blog post, photography is my obsession, and is also fast becoming Aaron’s obsession, too.   So as you can imagine, I was SO excited to meet Shelia!   Sure, we talked about the highchair for a little bit, but our conversation with her quickly turned to photography!  :)  She is so sweet!  She gave us advice and suggestions on photography lenses, and she also told us about Kip May who offers photography classes here in town!   I just loved meeting her.  We got a beautiful highchair, and met a wonderful woman.  We are now Facebook friends, and I’ll try my best not to bombard her with too many photography questions!  :)

Oh, I forgot to mention,  Shelia has had that highchair for 30 years!  And it was sitting in the same spot in her home for that long!  Now that Shelia and I are friends on Facebook, she won’t have time to miss her highchair because as soon as Faith is big enough to sit in it, I will be snapping pictures!  I think it’s pretty cool that she can continue to see her highchair being put to use after 30 years of having it :)

God meant for us to have that highchair, and meet Shelia!  It turned out to be a perfect day! ♥

Happy Mother’s Day! Week 34!

I had a good day.  Aaron and I went to his parents for lunch.  We took our new Canon camera there to snap pics of his nieces.  It was alot of fun.  Aaron’s dad pulled out his old Canon camera, and I fell in love!  Let me tell you about this camera… it is a Canon AE-1 Program camera, and it’s actually the first Canon camera to set both the shutter speed and aperture automatically.  I just couldn’t wait to get home, and share pictures of it with my readers!

Aaron’s parents let us have it!   Too bad we don’t have 35mm film for this beauty.  I would love to try it out!   I definitely plan to put this in a display case somewhere in my house.  There are so many accessories with it!  A 50mm lens, and old Canon camera case, and carrying case.  And check out the old vintage strap!  I love it!  Even the user manual is filled with old pictures.  This camera was made in 1981!  I wonder where I can get film, and also get the film developed?  I would LOVE to play around with this!  They took excellent care of it!  It looks like it’s in mint condition!

It’s so cool to have an old Canon, and a brand new Canon under my roof :)

I couldn’t help but add a Star Wars reference to this pic :)
They even gave us an old Polaroid instant camera!  And again, I freaked out when I saw it!  It is a Polaroid Land Camera Square Shooter 2, and it was manufactured in 1972-1975!  If I can find the instant photo film for this, I would LOVE to play with this, too!!!

Ok, enough about my photography obsession.  Here is my 34 week belly pic!

I seriously can’t believe there is only 6 more weeks to go.  If I deliver early.  I have less than 6 weeks!  Wow.  I have to start getting a suitcase ready for the hospital.

This is the shirt that I plan on wearing the day I deliver …

Semester is over! No homework! Week 33!

Author sherryae76Posted on

Ahh my first weekend with NO studying.  So what did I do?  Aaron and I went walking around McCormick’s Creek State Park.  Well, we tried to walk the easy .6 mile trail, but after only a little while outside in this heat, I changed my mind.  However, we did still take some pretty photos :)

I’m really excited to be done with classes until August!  Baby Faith has perfect timing.  She will be conveniently arriving between semesters!  Good girl! :)33 week belly pic!

Only 7 more weeks to go.  Wow.  Aaron and I were at Pizza Hut today, and the waitress said I was glowing, lol!  I told her I don’t feel that way, but thanks!  She was sweet, and didn’t charge us for our drinks.  She said she is about to be an aunt for the first time.  She was really excited.   Such a friendly waitress.I found the perfect maternity nightgown!  I’m a strawberry fanatic.  This is totally me :)

Well, now that I’m done with classes… I think I will continue crocheting my baby blanket! :)  Oh, and I might even bake some banana bread, too!  Woo hoo!
