Yesterday Jenn and I spent the day purchasing a new car and then enjoying some quality dinner time with my parents. They were nice enough to come and meet us in Silver Spring to help us look at the car, test drive it and make sure that we got a good deal. I think that we got a good deal, and both Jenn and I love the new car.

And now for the information of today...Jenn and I have been in the hospital since 2:00 AM this morning, going on 22 hours now. She's progressing without drugs so they are letting her continue on. Her water broke around 12:30 this morning, so they admitted us as soon as we got to the hospital. As soon as our little girl joins us and I get a chance, I'll be sure to share a picture and all the details about her! Enjoy!

The New Car

I'm not sure if its a bad thing or not that I have a bunch of spider webs around my deck. In this instance its a good thing since I was able to take this picture. Jenn noticed them when we went outside on Sunday and I decided to try my luck at taking a few pictures. The difficulty came in trying to focus the shot. Since the silk strands are so thin, the camera can't auto focus on the web, therefore I had to manually focus. I think it turned out pretty good, and its a neat looking web. Enjoy!

Webs

Over the weekend I put up a white sheet in our basement to make a pretend backdrop and did my best to take some pregnancy pictures of Jenn. I asked her about a dozed times if she wanted to go somewhere and have some taken and she had no interest. She was however interested in me taking some pictures. Some of you readers may have seen my comments on Twitter that I have been post-processing the images over the week. I'm glad to say they are finally done.

I'm really happy with how some turned out. Some took longer to work than others. Like this image for example. I had to carefully select Jenn's shirt to that I could remove the color around the shirt. A friend commented to me this morning that Jenn didn't have any stretch marks in the photos (there are some belly ones in the gallery). Full disclosure on that: photoshop is a wonderful tool.

Finally - an update. For those who may have forgotten, Jenn is due this Sunday. We haven't seen to much progress to date, but she has an appointment this evening, so we'll see what the doctor has to say! Enjoy!

Jenn's Photoshoot

The other day after taking pregnancy pictures of Jenn inside we went outside for a few minutes to try and take some outdoor pregnancy shots as well. After I was done with the pregnancy shots, I took some shots of the flowers and stuff around the pond. The Hosta are in full bloom around our pond at the moment and as such I thought this would be cool to photograph. I don't know if this is the best picture for a wallpaper, but I thought it was a decent enough attempt for today. Enjoy!

Wet Hosta

I don't think today needs to much explanation. Even Max wants to feel the baby kick! Enjoy!

Baby Kick

Yesterday Jenn and I spent some time outside with Max playing fetch. You can in the picture one of his toys. It used to squeak, but it doesn't any more since its missing the top. He does however still like to fetch it. I was taking a bunch of pictures of him and I think he got bored waiting for me to throw the toy for him again, which is probably why he just laid his head down. Enjoy!

Fetch

Since I have the day off for July 4th observance, I slept in and then once we were up, Jenn and I were looking through some pictures that we have (no particular reason). And I came across this one of my mom when she was pregnant with me. Its one of the few pictures in which she's actually smiling, and I thought it was cool to see. Not to mention this is about how Jenn is doing these days. We've hit the final stretch, where each day she says to me "the baby can come any time now" meaning Jenn wants the baby out! I thought it would be cool to share a picture of my mom when she was going through the hot days of August feeling the same way. Enjoy!
