8 pounds 4 ounces

20.6 inches

————————————–

Our son is here! August, Augie, Gus, Dimples, and Slugger (so apropos for a baby born during the World Series) are just some of that names that we’ve coined for him over these past three weeks. These weeks have been fun, reflective, life changing, joyous and tiresome. Even though August was born 3 weeks early he was quite huge (8.4lbs! Are you kidding me? Almost 21inches? Serious? I could hardly believe it). Even though he shares parts of his name with his dad (Matthew David), he got his dimples from my side of the family, which I count as a win considering our daughter looks identical to my husband.

I debated about whether or not I should post some of these photos because a couple of them are graphic, but I decided to share them. God’s creation is a miracle to marvel and some of these photos are proof of that.  My husband was able to be both fully present with me as I delivered him and take a few photos in the process which we will always treasure.

So, meet August. Our son…

“But [she] treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.” -Luke 2:19

Hey friends. Some of you guys have emailed to ask where the heck some of my latest blog posts went, and I wanted to update you all with some good news. They are lost. But not for long. The good folks at Flosites are working hard to restore the lost posts.

So, no tears.

Be happy!

And enjoy my 32 week prego pic! xoxox

The missing posts and new posts will be up soon! xoxo

::::UPDATE 9/22::::

We are still missing some posts, but the majority of the lost posts are back. I will do my best to update the rest along with some new posts asap. Hope you have enjoyed a good cup of coffee for me lately. And a glass of wine.

Introducing Baby Larsen #2! Due November 8, 2011!

I’m now 14 weeks pregnant with this wonderful little person and we are excited to share the happy news with you all! There’s no hiding this little human the 2nd time around and I welcome it! We love this person and can’t wait to meet whoever it is. We won’t be finding out the sex, so you all will be just as surprised as we are come November! Get excited!!

This year, I have photographed over 215 portrait sessions and event photography combined and I’ve decided to take the end of November and the entire month of December off to finish all the projects still on the table from 2010 weddings and portrait sessions, as well as enjoy this little family of mine. For all the sessions that are currently booked, I can’t wait to photograph you all! For those of you who are interested in booking a family session, bridal session or engagement session, please email me for a list of photographers who I would gladly recommend or let’s schedule a shoot for January 2011.

I will be catching up on my blogging soon and can’t wait to post some sweet family photos of our little Life.

I wish you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING and a blessed holiday season!

With love,
Lauren
