Harvick & Jarrett . 1 Year Pictures

Heather Mickey has done it again!  She took pictures of our family on Saturday, to mark Harvick and Jarrett turning one.  Thankfully, she entertains my desire to see a "preview" quickly, and has already posted one on her blog!

Harvick & Jarrett . 1 Year Pictures.

Click on the link to see the preview, and I would love for everyone that does to leave her a comment!  She has been the most amazing photographer.  10 sessions in the last 3 years, and we have yet to be disappointed.  She has captured priceless memories for us, and I am ever grateful for her amazing talent.  Really, leave her a comment!

And, if you ever book her for a session...(you should!)...let her know I sent you her way!

Harvick & Jarrett . 6 Month Pictures

The new header family picture was taken when Heather Mickey came over to take Harvick and Jarrett's 6 month pictures.  Typically, she has blogged a handful of images within a few days, but it hasn't happened yet this year - so, I thought I would post a few of our favorites before it is too far past!

 We also wanted to be sure to capture a handful of Harvick with his helmet.  Despite it being temporary, it is a part of his life at age 6 months.

Typical boys . . . always reaching out to touch/grab each other.

 And, I love a good comparison shot - so this is each of them, in similar positions . . .

If you're ever looking for a great photographer, consider Heather Mickey!  We have loved every session she has done with us (and, this one marked the 9th one in just 2.5 years! - several of them are linked through this blog, just click on the "Hether Mickey" label in the right column to see more).  And, be sure to let her know we referred you!

34 Week Update

Another OB appointment this morning. 
.

And, for the first time in the last several appointments, there is actually news!
.

My OB measured me, and checked the boys' heartbeats.  My issues with swelling have increased (substantially), but my blood pressure is doing awesome.  This morning it was 112/70 - so good that they re-checked it to make sure they didn't do it incorrect the first time.  The swelling was a pre-cursor to the Pre-Eclampsia last time, but only because it was combined with increasing blood pressure and protein in my urine.  So far, with the absence of the second two "signs", I'm still considered in the clear!
.

He checked to see if I was dialated . . . and . . . I'm at 2cm already.  I still haven't "dropped" all the way, so even though it sounds like I could go into labor right away, he still feels it'll be at least 2 weeks.  He even is "excusing" me from my appointment next week (I'm seeing the Perinatologist next Friday anyway), because all signs indicate everything is going well.
.

He's not big on making estimations (remember, he didn't even want to make a guess at the twins' gender), but with my goal (May 6) in mind, he says that he really thinks I can get myself pretty close to that.  From today, I could deliver in as early as 7 days, with a max of 30 from now! 
.

Oh . . . and, if you are interested, I had maternity pictures taken last week.  Heather posted one to her blog yesterday: Heather Mickey - Maternity Picture

Ryder . 1 Year Pictures

Ryder is ONE.  Already.
.
His birthday was on Saturday (07/17), and to celebrate we started out the day getting pictures taken by Heather Mickey!!!  She is the same one who took the maternity, birth, newborn, and 6 month pictures.  We LOVE her pictures!!!  And, because she knows just how much I anticipate seeing the finished result, she has already blogged a handful!.
