Full term & SO ready to have this baby! Some highlights:

  • 8 days of work left before my leave starts!
  • I still have a couple things that fit. Barely.
  • If I sleep sitting up my throat doesn’t feel like it’s gonna burn right up.
  • Neeson still loves Moana, so no need to pretend I can actually chase him through the park or get down on the ground to play with him.
  • We finally bought diapers. We’re so prepared.
  • Dave has kept the blinds closed for days, so our house has stayed at a solid 64 degrees. Woop!

We’re so ready to meet you, baby C! xo

  • The boys met Santa yesterday and Neeson was so excited to tell him that they wanted presents for Christmas. St. Nick was pretty certain he could make that happen.♥️ #neesonandcopeland
  • We’ve got some news! This season has been a whirlwind - not kidding, the last several months have been HARD. You all know that we were renovating a 1978 Airstream Argosy, May, and had been living in her full time. Turns out that lifestyle just isn’t for us. For a million reasons, our family didn’t fare well in that space. The boys were not themselves. Dave and I were stressed and unhappy. It was a never ending project that we couldn’t get ahead of - add that to attempting to continue to manage our business, @exploreyourstory, and be good for our kids and each other, we were OVER IT. We’ve dealt with one illness after another for the last several months, as well as additional weight related health concerns for Copeland requiring extra appts with his primary and new appts to see specialists. Without any doubt, we felt like the added stress that camper living was causing was, in part, contributing to some of those health struggles. So, just in time for Christmas, we are reminded how grateful we are for friends who, with zero questions and at the drop of a hat, opened their home to us; for warmth; for straight walls; for indoor plumbing; for kitchen cabinets with doors on them; for a bit more space for our kids to play; for room to breathe and get healthy again. For anyone wondering if we’re sad about it or disappointed that it didn’t work out - no. No, we’re not. We tried and that’s pretty damn brave. Now we know and we can move forward without asking “what if?”♥️ #neesonandcopeland
  • You with me here?🙄 #craigslist #thereissuchthingasastupidquestion
  • Even little Neeson has been aged by this never ending Airstream renovation. He’s so much bigger now than in this shot from one of the very first days we brought #maymccannthecaravan home! • Let me say this: this process isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s probably also not for two clueless souls who possess no appropriate skills for a renovation of any kind, much less an Airstream. We dove in and we’ve learned A LOT. Excited to start sharing more about what we’ve come to realize about ourselves and #airstreamlife! Stay tuned. #neesonfoley
  • You guys are the best! So much love on my last two posts. Especially that one from Maui. Who knew y’all would enjoy my bum so much?😉 • And this guy. Man, we’ve been through some CRAZY shit in our short marriage and somehow continue to come out even stronger. To think there was a time we didn’t know if we’d make it - it’s pretty damn beautiful to see how far we’ve come. I can’t imagine doing this thing without him. 📷: @carleesecorphotography #marriage #beating50percent
  • I had almost forgotten how much joy I feel photographing families. Thankfully the gorgeous Enna crew was willing to help remind me.♥️ • This has been such a hard season, and these last few months have been trying and full of obstacles and surprises. Shooting this session last night revitalized me. Friends, it’s so SO important to make time for the things that give you life. It felt so good to step away from the hard for a bit and just focus on something that is so good.
  • There’s no hiding this #mombod. I could’ve kept it covered on our trip to Maui, but I don’t want to be a sidelines kind of mama. I wanna be a toes in the sea, sand on our bums kind of mama.🏖#neesonfoley #maui
  • It’s no wonder I woke up with a toy truck under my butt. When you choose to live tiny you accept that all areas become play areas - including the bed. Funny enough, I don’t think I mind.🖤 #maymccannthecaravan #neesonandcopeland
