I spend a certain amount of energy every day thinking about what I’m going to write here. I formulate the idea in my mind and then think of how I will put it all down. It doesn’t all come together until I sit down to type it all up.
The last few days have been even more hectic than usual. I have started Childbirth Preperation classes and I have CPR and Breastfeeding coming up, too. I now have to go to the doctor once every two weeks and not monthly since I am much closer to delivery. I’m having an even harder time sleeping since my belly is heavy enough to strain my back muscles and give me random cramps. I pee even more than before, if that’s possible to imagine. So I am so tired that I do the typical bored student thing at my desk: my head falls over as my eyes close and I jerk myself back up.
My company will be closing for the holidays in ten days and by the time they come back I will be 36 weeks or so and possibly too tired, too big and too stupid to function. Thus, I am trying to squish in all the big projects I’ve been meaning to do. This makes my days full of frenzy and I don’t have enough personal time to get my own projects done. Thus the website suffers.
I am sure stuff won’t get easier when the baby comes but I am hoping I will eventually learn to organize everything back to some sort of schedule. Cross fingers.
All this is to thank you for visiting even when I don’t update regularly and to let you know that I am going to do my best to update regularly.
i love this shot! what were the settings? also, do you use that extra converter thing with this lens? i have been finding that in many situations ( no life-size converter ) in order to get my shutter speed high enough to take a decent hand held shot i’ve got to go down to like f2.8 or 2.5 and then my DOF is so shallow i can’t get a really crisp focus.
it has taken me about 8 months to get back towards normal photo updates with a new baby. ( professional dad )
wonderful shot …
Lovely… I need a macro lens
hmm the settings are:
shutter: 1/50
aperature: f 5.0
iso: 100
I don’t have the extra converter thing since I didn’t want to spend $500
for a macro lens. I do have the luxury of sunny southern california tho 🙂
i think clouds of late have hampered my light of my orchid shots. i’m just up in the OC. i’ll have to experiment some more. =) thanks for the info!
To be honest, I doubt you could ever be stupid. Nice try. Ain’t gonna happen in this lifetime.
You’ll figure it out. We all do. If you don’t expect anything, you can’t be disappointed.
Remember, blogs first, babies second 😉
