Maternity Pics

Doug and I were referred to a terrific photographer a month or so ago by a friend (thanks, Mikael!) to get some maternity and infant twin photos taken. We had her over on Saturday and she got some great shots of us and the belly. Here's a little sneak at some of her favorites from the shoot. We should be one of the first entries on the page.

We can't wait for Rebecca to take some great photos of the girls when they are born! She is fantastic!

The nursery

Before I ended up having to move to Portland, Doug and I had started making some headway on the nursery. Here are some pictures of it as it progressed from paint, to the chair rail. I had to move to Portland before I had a chance to see the finished product and the furniture assembled, but that will be a wonderful surprise to share with the girls when we get home in a few months.

The last time I saw the room

Doug has been working hard at home getting the room ready and house prepared for our baby girls to arrive. I appreciate all of his hard work and effort in giving them a room just as special as they are. I can't wait to see it and post the final results!

Here is a preggo pic for you- 29 weeks!


Bed rest has been good to me. The cervix has gotten better, actually, and the girls are doing great. Tomorrow is 30 weeks, and we are so grateful all has been going so smoothly. My parents are taking great care of me, and the time in bed has been both boring and wonderful, and I manage to stay pretty entertained. If things keep at this rate, we should have no trouble making it to 36 weeks, which would be terrific!
