more sessions(new and past)a brief part of the journal about my health..{maternity,newborn and children's photographer}

here are some images to share of some of my past and present sessions. I wanted to share as every session is super fun for me and I love to share with all that I can of the kids I am so honored to have the chance to document. so here is the beginning of how it all happened. the beginning of the life I led last year to make me pursue what I went through to find out the truth of it all. so here it goes....

I started to have sinus infection after sinus infection, then bronchitis. I have been really healthy and never ever go sick until I had children and then it was a rare occasion when I did get sick. SO-  suffered long and hard not knowing what is wrong. I ended up finally going to the urgent care center at mercy till someone would realize what really was going on. I was very tired and had been for so long. I was beyond the point of tired and with all the other symptoms there were more coming on, and more and more. I truly don't believe in being medicated and they kept trying to attack whatever was coming on. my family doc- dr. brady, had been watching my white blood count for a long time. I had a super high white blood count for over two years and wanted to figure out why and why being so tired has become an issue. I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and sleep apnea a year and half earlier and wondered if this had developed due to other issues. I have always been emotional about everything and showed no signs of happy or sad or anything in between, till this all came about. so I went into the urgent care center several times, thinking I was dying from pain, fatigue and a extremely high fever. I found out I had mono. It would not go away. I found out in december and it was not getting better by april. I had seen several docs by then. I been tested for mono again and again. I was tested for hiv,aids and leukemia. WHAT THE HECK!!! those three things scared me to death. how could I have any of those. and then there was checking for all sorts of hepatitis. what the heck again..what kind of person do they think I am. where do they think I am hanging out at or whom I have been with. I had gone to a chest and infectious disease center doctor and a few others. I tested negative for all those. well, while I had been to the mercy center again and again, I had shown signs of leukemia. In my white blood count, they said I had some things that led them to believe that. I still was so scared as the other doctors thought not. I had all the signs of it, and really should be scared. even though they told I did not at other doctors. the doctors at the urgent care unit still did. they did some special testing on me that showed I did. why not, I ask? I was so distraught at this time. I was scared to death as I did not remember going to all those doctors and get all sorts of blood work, cat scans x-rays among other things. I have a darn good memory and I would have to be reminded when I was told of my results that I actually did do those tests. I was for sure thinking I was going crazy. I was at a point I could not remember going to the store, getting gas or even driving my kids, I had to have my family start taking me so I could have someone remember what the doctor said and make sure it was not serious. I had a white blood count that came back worse than had before so I went back to the endocrinologist as I was diagnosed with grave's disease in my early twenties. even though I had been checked out several times over the years for my thyroid issues, I was turing out ok on that end. the symptoms kept getting worse as the months progressed. I had some of them for awhile, but only to get worse and I was tired of sweating.sweating is so annoying to me. I don't mind working out to get sweaty, but this I was tired of just sitting watching a movie I would break out in a sweat. when I got mono I was so cold I thought I could get any colder and I was wearing long john's and sometimes more clothes and then all of the sudden I would have chills. but I was not taking those clothes off just to cool down. I was so messed up I did not know where to go from there. I will take on the next step this week sometime. I had so many tests done and many specialist working on me, I need to go through and get back to the basics of what has happened. good thing I wrote a journal, otherwise- I would not be here to share the story of he said, she said and what I say. I will have to share bit by bit as I want you to know how I got here and all the symptoms that led me here...peace. I want to leave you with something I found out while I was finding me. one more thing. some of the baby pics are of my niece at 3 days and her mama preggers..

I love the magazine boho!! I just adore it. and coming to find out while along reading it, she has a poem in there that defines what a boho girl is and I am just that. find out if you are. here are the things a boho girl has or is. this is the tell all of what a boho truly is.

free.radical.independent. 

her style is her own.

it's personal, existential.

her only fear is convention.

her only weakness,shoes.

the bump on her nose adds character,

the scar on her shoulder adds strength,

the curl in her hair adds attitude.

there is no such thing as imperfection,

just originality.

unmovable,unshakable, unstoppabke,

she is america's next top role model.

someone both inspired and inspiring.

she embraces her spirituality,

aspires to her dreams,

lives through her passions.

she is a world changer.

she is bohemian.

she is a boho girl!

enjoy! enjoy the images..
