Post-op Lo Lo Bean

Our kitty, Lo Lo Bean, had surgery early this week to have her front claws removed. She did well during the surgery and seems to be doing fine now too. I was surprised when I picked her up from the vet and she didn't have any bandages on! They gave me 2 days worth of pain medicine for her. She was acting normal and was jumping on things already. Sometimes she'll jump up on something and will have to take pressure off of one of her paws and will shake it a bit but other than that, she's fine. She's been sleeping a lot and being extra sweet, more so than she usually is. This is her new bed. She hasn't moved from this location in several days. Only time she moves is when I pick her up, when it's time to eat, and when it's time to go potty. Ahh, the life!

Sweet, but pitiful, Lo Lo Bean

IT'S A BOY!!!

100% Baby Boy

Giddy Up Little Dude!!

For the past couple of weeks, I have been scanning myself to see if I could tell the sex of the baby. Well, as the days went by, my "guess" became more and more clear. This past week, as I was getting closer to 15 weeks pregnant, I was able to come to a 100% conclusion that WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! We go in for our official ultrasound in a few weeks on Dec. 11th to get confirmation.

Since we found out we were pregnant, we have been anticipating this moment so we could finally start buying things for a boy or girl. Last night, Jeremy and I were at Target and I found a couple of onesies that we specifically for a little boy. See the pictures above. Jeremy and I are really excited to be welcoming William Carter Cochran soon!! I've already started calling him by name even while he's in my belly.

A Few Pictures From A Recent Photo Shoot

I recently did a photo shoot on some good friends of ours, James, Lindsey, and Alexander McGreger. I really loved this shoot because of the location...you'll see why! An old Mill house, water wheel, creek with small waterfalls, and a large grassy area, can't get much better! These are just a few selected photos from that shoot...

1 Year Anniversary Week...October 13th!!

Jeremy and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on October 13th. We have officially been married for 1 year! It's hard to believe sometimes that time has gone by so quickly but then when I think of all that's happened in the past year, the timing seems just right. A lot has happened to us in 1 year! We got married, made a move back to Georgia, bought a house, made another move, got a new kitty, and now have a baby on the way! But if I didn't have so many changes in my life, I don't think I would know what to do with myself! These are a few pictures of our trip to the Atlanta Zoo and from the day of our anniversary...


THE ATLANTA ZOO


There were lots of flamingos and they were funny to watch!

This bird was my friend!! He followed me and kept staring at me!

I was so excited to see the elephants!!

Check out those big paws!!

We think he was hungry because he kept pacing!

These guys were so cute!! They were about 5 feet in front of us.

This gorilla was hilarious!! He was such a poser!!

These two were playing and having a good time! They were all so funny!

This lady's hat was ridiculous!! There was a little girl with her and her husband that called them "Oma" and "Opa." We thought that was funny! But not quite as funny as this hat!

I was really excited to see the giraffes too!!

My first time to ever see a Rhino! So cool!!

These meerkats were funny! They reminded me of Mama!!
