Inside the Darkroom

The only thing scarier than sticking a needle into my wife's leg is taking pictures of her belly... we finally got the 'courage' to take some updated belly shots at 26+ weeks and here's the result (note the first photo is from long long ago in a place called 8 weeks... Sheri can't believe the change either! Thanks for all the continued prayer and support - Sheri's blood clot is still quite painful, but we're hopeful that at our pre-flight check-up on Tuesday she'll get the all clear for our trip to Paris for Christmas.

8 week belly

26 week belly (feels like 30!)

managed a few seated poses, blood clot and all

We'll post more of our 26 week photos from Brandon's first attempt at a 'semi-professional' photoshoot on Flickr. Sheri was a great model - very patient and plenty of smiles. Let us know what you think (positive comments preferred for husbands safety!).

Brandon did GREAT! I LOVE the one where Sheri is wearing blue and looking down at Aiden! BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE the belly and Sheri glows! I cannot believe you are already 26 weeks. Whens my photo shoot?? ha ha! Maybe Ryan can take notes and do 1/2 as good.

way cool photos! you look great! hang in there - i remember this time being one of the toughest hurdles cause you are anxiously awaiting the third trimester and being that much closer to baby!

but i guarantee the next 14 weeks will fly by! soon, you'll be typing comments on someone's blog "hunt and peck" style because your left arm is supporting a 10 lb. 1-month old!

praying for your continued health. please tell paris bonjour for me. Paris, Je t'aime.

p.s. love the pics of your designs - you are so talented!!! when are you shipping to the us?!?

Sheri!

You look amazing! I loved all of the pictures. It looks like you guys are both naturals. I will be praying for your doctor's appointment tomorrow.
