It is humbling to know that it is all from my photographs, and words. <br /><br />I wanted to check in and let you all know that I have finally stopped making excuses and dived in to my career in photography. It is a new adventure for me, and it is scary and exciting at the same time. I wanted to leave a link here, to let you know that I have started a photo blog:<br /><br /><br />http://aurastuemky.com/blog/<br /><br />If you would like to still follow along, I will be there. I haven't decided which direction that blog will grow. For now, I am comfortable leaving it less personal, without photos of Elodie, but I know that over time it will grow and change into whatever I need it to be. <br /><br />Thank you for everything. Thank you, thank you, a million thank you's.<br /><br /><br /><br />All my best,<br />AuraAurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703730646756774047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-59535290995620864022012-11-03T07:45:07.714-05:002012-11-03T07:45:07.714-05:00I'm bawling after reading this and watching yo...I'm bawling after reading this and watching your video. Maybe because I'm 18 weeks and extremely hormonal, or maybe because it just dawned on me, the change that I too will be going through soon. I looked at all your gorgeous bump-in-style pictures and loved them, and then when I saw you in the video with your hair thrown into a messy bun and your glasses on and wearing an easy dress (still gorgeous as ever btw), and swinging your child, both of you with huge smiles, I realized that there was a huge focus shift. (This was also stated explicitly by you in your post, lol, but the video really opened my eyes to it.) Right now I am just me, and my focus is on just me (and husband and friends and family- but I am the only one in my personal world.) When my child comes I will be living for two people. And that will be a different world, and a different life, and there is no turning back - not that I want to... But the chasm between the two is so real and visible to me now. Thank you for your video. I'm excited for my new (shared) life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-45726310624834237662012-10-23T22:46:36.866-05:002012-10-23T22:46:36.866-05:00Thinking of you often.

Last time I was most pregnant during the summer months and got by with cute, long, dresses almost every day. This time, I can't wait to still be able to wear my boots and "skinny" jeans. It's the tops that have thrown me for a loop. I'm going to have to get some of my tanks back out! P.S. I found you on Pinterest and will be following you!!!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223744164081704920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-61531678794326860442012-10-09T12:41:16.160-05:002012-10-09T12:41:16.160-05:00Aura,

I'm sure I will read every single post by the end of the night. <br /><br />I have 2 children (my son is 7 years old and my daughter just turned 2). We thought we were complete with 2 kids...and then, about a month ago, I woke up with this crazy feeling that I was pregnant. I took the test and sure enough, it was positive. Ever since then, I've been feeling overwhelmed, questioning if I can continue being a good mother while raising 3 kids and just feeling anxious overall. That was until, I saw this post of newborn Elodie. She's so beautiful and so precious and delicate in these pics that I wonder how I could have ever been scared of my little one to be. I know this post is older but it sure made my day and made me feel at ease about doing this one last time. Thanks for sharing, Aura! You made my day.Jennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-61261376225334105482012-10-01T16:18:23.078-05:002012-10-01T16:18:23.078-05:00I was wondering where you got those patterned tigh...I was wondering where you got those patterned tights in one of the top photos?

I, too, birthed a strong-willed child this past summer and thought I was surely drowning and some days didn't want to wake up. I love your words: "Nobody said it was easy. Nobody had the heart to say it would be this hard." Wow. How powerful. I am saving this post to remind myself of the essence of everything you speak of. Thanks, again. I feel like I was meant to see this.

I loved the post where your husband told you to show your life as an example of how to live simple. I think you're a great role model of what many people hope for in their own lives, I know I do. Your authenticity and honesty are, I think, what draws people to you. All of that is to say that this blog is inspirational and I, like many above have said, hope that you will leave it up for all of us to come back to when we need a reminder of how to live a simple, happy life.<br /><br />Lots of love<br />NicoleNicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-2015451222419368082012-09-09T15:47:16.484-05:002012-09-09T15:47:16.484-05:00You look GORGEOUS in each and every photo!
