Picture Day

I remember when I used to take photos quite often. It was a sad moment the other day when Rob asked if I thought I'd ever "get back into it." Yikes, I've been that bad. I did remind him that I had recently done two little shoots of friends' little girls, and that I still love it. At the same time, our house is still in major need of decor (and blinds), Christmas is coming, and at the rate that this pregnancy is going, this little boy may be here before Christmas, so I'm trying to stay on top of everything before I fall behind. Never mind the bb-sized kidney stone I passed three weeks ago, or the gestational diabetes I got diagnosed with on the same day of the kidney stone. Never a dull moment, right? Apparently this little guy (still unnamed) likes to remind me of his presence almost constantly. This pregnancy hasn't been a walk in the park.

Yesterday was fantastic weather, and lighting - when we went to meet friends at the park, my camera was in tow, and I actually used it.

Guy looks so serious - he's actually pulling Nerds out of a box.

I love the background photo of Cooper, too bad it was so fuzzy, but I think this turned out okay with the other one.

Coop just finished a Tootsie Roll Pop. It looks like he feels a sense of accomplishment - but the photo shows the truth - the Tootsie Roll Pop won, no question. He was a sticky dirty mess when all was said and done.

I keep wondering how this coming little boy will look, and how he will make Guy and Cooper seem alike.

And the latest with the pregnancy: I've gained about 22 lbs this pregnancy. I have 4 weeks left (from yesterday), max. But with the few issues that arisen, the dr. is thinking a 39 week induction would be good. Typically, my water breaks in the middle of the night (Friday night, with both Guy and Coop). This time, I've got Strep B (as I did with Coop). I'm hoping to avoid the NICU experience (never even had Coop in my room) by getting in early enough to pre-medicate and avoid all the testing they did with Coop that kept him in the NICU. That's the main reason I'd like to induce.
