Baby Feet

Posted by Holly Nelson on Thursday, April 22, 2010 Under: It's a Boy's Life!

It's official. If Baby Jack doesn't decide to arrive earlier, then I will be induced on Tuesday, April 27th at 7:45 am. I am so excited! You would think this is my first! First of all, I HATE to be induced! I would much rather go into labor on my own. But, if we don't we might give birth to a toddler!

I love Baby Feet. Okay, well, I just love babies! But I love my babies even when they aren't "babies" anymore. That's why I came up with this idea to capture the growing feet of my "babies".

Here are a few shots I had to take to try to get the right Baby Feet shot. Later I gave up and tried another day... but I can't find those pictures! I finally did get one great shot. But a 17 month old and a newborn do not cooperate as well as one would like.

1st attempt! Hi, Ian! ~Looking at a friends pictures yesterday, she had a picture of her kids feet. It reminded me of a picture I had taken after our last baby was born. I love baby feet. So sweet. So tiny! I cannot wait to take this picture again when baby Jack is born. But now I have a teenagers feet~ a men's size 10!

Baby Luke was already beginning to not like this. He just wanted his mommy!

Now, Noah(17 mos) wasn't liking this much either. He's trying to sit up, saying "I want my mommy!!"...he was still a colicky mommas boy.

By this time, my oldest Ryan, who is NOT a momma's boy, was not very happy and was ready to quit!

OKAY, OKAY! I give up! This was the last one I tried. Luke wanted to EAT!! Little did I know how much he would want to eat......(boys eat a lot!)

On another day, we went outside to take the picture with the greenery of the trees and grass in the background. I made it in black and white, framed the picture, and gave them to grandparents as presents. ....But I forgot what I named that file. So, in a few days you will have a new one to see! ~ Teenage feet to newborn feet~ So Sweet!

"Let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a quiet and gentle sprirt, which is precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:4 - "An excellent wife,who can find? Her worth is far above jewels." Proverbs 31:10 ~~ I am a stay-at-home-mom(SAHM) married to the love of my life, Jeff Nelson. We have six wonderful boys. Ryan(15), Seth(13), Ian(10), Noah(7), Luke(5), and Jack(2). We live in Tennessee on 4 acres. I grew up the first few years of my life on a dairy farm in Missouri and loved country living. I was saved at a young age by the grace of God and shed blood of Jesus during that time of simple country living. That part of my life is very dear to me. God taught me many things as a baby Christian that I can still think about today. Then we moved to Memphis when I was in the 5th grade. I learned to love the city life, too. It was a completely different way of life. My whole family still lives in Missouri, still does a little farming and simple country living. When Jeff, the kids, and I moved from the city to the country, I incorporated my city life with my country background. My mom laughs at me when I cut my grass on my John Deere tractor while drinking my Starbucks Mocha and wearing my fancy sunglasses. And when I am shampooing my carpet in my high-heeled black boots. I just love those boots! But I would love to share about how I got to be the way I am today, The Victoriously Organized Woman! I used to work as a supervisor at bank for years. I had to dress up everyday. After the birth of our second child we decide I should be a SAHM. One of the best decision I've ever made. But I made a bad decision, too. I hardly ever dressed up anymore. I hardly ever wore make-up. After about a year I looked in the mirror and said, "OH MY! Jeff has to come home to this!?!" He is so wonderful he said he liked me that way, "natural". Well , I realized that I didn't. It made me feel bad about myself. I felt disorganized, tired and stressed and a little "rough" looking. I felt I just couldn't get it all done. At this time I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I wasn't able to do certains things. Like mop the floor of my completely hardwood floor home that I was obsessed about keeping clean. The doctor told me I couldn't have salt, caffeine, or stress! "What?! Are you kidding!?" So , then I decided to change my routine,thought pattern, and cooking. I began to get up early, shower and dress, put on make up. Always being ready to leave whenever I needed to. I established routines that helped me eliminate extra cleaning and stresses. I was able to make more time for myself and make more time for my family. And the family had more time for each other. I made more time for God and others. This made me feel better about myself. I am so happy about how this changed my life I want to share it with everyone.
