We have been absolutely itching with anticipation to get to our 20 week ultrasound! Generic baby is not nearly as much fun as a son or daughter. :o) The big day finally arrived yesterday and wow, what an experience! I'm starting to show now so obviously there's someone in there but it was just so amazing to see our baby moving around, yawning, and clenching tiny fingers. There's actually a real, live baby in there! I guess you're probably wondering whether Baby McLellan is a girl or a boy. We have the official word and there's no mistaking....
it's a BOY!!! :o) I guess we should have known there was a little Sean in there. Ever since the pregnancy hormones kicked in, I've picked up all of his food oddities. From a lack of love for chocolate (I mean, come on!), to a constant love of McDonald's cheeseburgers and pizza (lovely for the figure), and the resignation that I'd rather die than run into any kind of gristle in meat - I hardly know myself! Anyway, we're SO EXCITED!! He's healthy and we're having a SON!
We drew a name from all of the boy votes and my dear friend Allison O'Dell is the big winner of an iTunes gift card! Thanks so much for playing along everyone! We had such a great time with the baby poll and hearing from you all! Thanks to your 137 comments and 200+ votes, $200 has been donated to St. Jude Children's Hospital on behalf of Baby Boy. :o)
Have a wonderful weekend!!

This past weekend we were in South Carolina for Amber and Tyler's wedding. These guys have been dating for 6 years and Amber was positively beside herself to be getting married! :o) In fact, she was so cute about it, I'm posting a couple of extra images.
See what I mean? In just about every ceremony photo she has some variation of this giddy look. So cute!
When we first met these guys, they were quick to point out that they were having a beach wedding but they weren't your big time "wedding-y" types and they hated the typical beach photos. That's why I have to post this one. The groomsmen were determined that we had to do a jumping shot and I have to admit, this one is hilarious, if for no other reason than the bride got the most air. :o)
And now for one of my favorites! East Coast beaches are so different from what we think of as "the beach" because they have all of these great trees that run almost completely to the water. The light was coming through them so nicely and we just had to capture some of that South Carolina flavor...
Thanks for looking! Amber and Tyler, family and friends - we had such a wonderful time with you all! Thanks and congratulations!! :o)
This past weekend was another wonderful weekend off! I could totally get used to this! I do have to say though that I'm so excited about this weekend's wedding with Amber and Tyler! We're heading out to Hunting Beach in South Carolina and it should be awesome!
In the meantime, as promised: Marlena and Tim's Us Session. This is one of my favorite Us Sessions to date! Savannah is our kind of town - rustic and colorful all in one. The fact that Marlena and Tim can't take a bad picture is just bonus! :o)
I simply adore spanish moss! Think we can get it to grow in TN?
ah cobblestone! I love the streets here and Marlena was great to lay in them. :o)
