Photo Blog and Baby Update

This week was great, but fairly uneventful (one baby update at the end, btw), so I decided to share our latest photos.

While I still feel completely inadequate at shooting true, professional photos, I do have family members who are willing to indulge my newfound joy of photography.

One of those family members is Chuck's cousin Meesh and her family. You've seen their photos before. Oh how it thrills my heart when Meesh says, "Hey Ang, do you think we could take some pictures?"

[I learned from this session why most baby photos are taken while the baby is asleep. His smiles are incredible, but hard to catch on camera.]

All this made me want a studio!! And better equipment! And the photography monster is fed some more...

Anyhow, yesterday I had my 15 week check up at the doctor. The heartbeat is in the 150s, which is great, and also different. Charlie's and Chance's were always in the 130s. My doctor said that's often an indicator of a girl. She said she typically sees girls have higher heart rates, and this is the range she would expect it to be in. Oh how my doc loves to get my hopes up! It was an odd experience having her put the heart thing on my belly and hear the heartbeat, and then hear the baby kicking the heck out of it...but not feeling a thing inside. I'm starting to feel little kicks here and there, but nothing real yet... I seem to remember feeling the boys move sooner. Oh, and for those who are concerned about me...I've gained 3 pounds in 4 weeks and am just about back to the weight I was at when I first learned I was pregnant. So the doctor is not worried, and she said I'm not showing much yet is due to being in shape (for once!).
