Expecting Nathan


Meet Nicole and her soon to be featured little guy Nathan.? As a mother to two precious little ladies, adding an Y chromosome is going to make life interesting to say the least.? :)?? I have known (and loved) Nicole since she was a young teenager and was honored to be able to capture this moment in her life for her.? I remember clearly a conversation I had with her about a decade ago about babies…and here she is a mama to THREE.?? In addition to growing her family with children, she has grown her little horse family as well.? She now owns and shows horses (I think she has 20 right now).? I am so happy to see her living her dream with her kiddos, her sweet hubby, and her horse ranch.? I get a real kick out of reading her facebook posts because I would swear she is speaking a foreign language.? Here is an example:

FB Quote:

I am looking for a nice 2010 overo hunt seat baby to longe line next year. I am willing to trade my grey Luke At Me daughter in foal to World & Res World Champion “The Gift of Midas” and her 2010 grey All Time Fancy filly. Or if I sell them out right I will be looking to buy one. Just in case anyone knows of one! 🙂

Anyone have any idea what she just said?

Nicole runs a horse and dog business and shows her APHA and AQHA horses as well as NSDR, ASDR, MASCA and NAMASCUSA Mini and Toy Aussies.

Her life keeps getting fuller by the minute doesn’t it?

I am no longer using my home studio for pregnancy shoots but I made an exception for Nicole due to the extreme heat.? I will still do draping shots in clients homes though.

Darling daughters Hope and Grace.? Hope actually picked out her baby brother’s name.

What personality huh?? Such a doll.? Will be anxious to present Nathan sometime in the next month or so.? Nicole has been cleaning high and low today with a crazy burst of energy so I expect he might have an early date in mind.? She posted this on facebook this morning – made me tired just to read it!? LOL.

NESTING? This morning I fed and watered the horses, cats, dogs & chickens, cleaned stalls, cleaned the feed room, organized the barn totes, raked the barn and around the outside, lounged Chloe (yes she is FINALLY sound and it was her first time on the line in 6 weeks!) and then when my husband and kids woke up we bedded all the stalls, cleaned the waters, played in the rain and then made breakfast and baked a cake.

I have never “nested” before like this and I still have 9 weeks to go! Plus I have been having contrcations and cramping so we shall see. Hope he hangs in there a little longer! And just for the record I only have 9 horses! :)~
