Times Two

Happenstance was kind to us this year, my sister Sarah & I.  First came my announcement. I'm pregnant.  Then, came her announcement.  I am too.  Our due dates?  Just one week apart.  Me:  September 16.  Sarah:  September 23  Yep.  Exactly one week.

At her recent baby shower, Sarah's friend, Laura, was kind enough to take a few sister belly pics for us.  Sister bumps.  

Does life get any sweeter? Ask me or my sister.  I think not.

Bump

Well, perhaps not so much of a bump as a mountain.  Seriously.  Could this belly be any bigger??

I'd been holding off on sharing the belly pictures Melissa recently took for me as Sarah & I also had sister pics taken.  However, those images have yet to arrive in my inbox & I am anxious to share.  

Channing is obsessed with his little brother.  There are many, many belly pats and belly kisses.  We take turns feeling each other's tummies to see who's baby moves the most.  For the record, Channing's always wins. 

It took a little bribery to get him to take this image.  It's awfully cute though & I'm sure if you asked, he'd tell you posing for it was worth the five York Peppermint Patty Bites he was rewarded with.  

And then there's this last image.  I've been all a-tizzy with sewing project after sewing project getting ready for this wee one.  Our collaborative quilt is just awaiting it's 'made by...'patch.  It's lovely as you can glimpse here.  This picture was only partially posed.  I love this green chair.  I love the natural light that fills the nursery in the afternoon and early evening.  I find myself drawn to this corner for hand sewing and book reading and Pinterest gawking.  

Soon.  Very soon.  I'll post images of us rocking a wee babe in this very spot.  

Yea!

(A very special thank you to Melissa for taking the time to take these pictures.  XO!!)
