Sneak Peak...look at those baby blues!!!

OK so I have to admit...I love it when babies have blue blue eyes. My first two kiddlets didn't have blues and then Natalie came along and she's got blue eyes, so I find myself loving the blue eyes!

This is a sneak peak from a shoot I did this morning...isn't she a DOLL!!!

Brinley and Baby 'A'

Well Brinley is doing much better! She came into my office yesterday and declared "I'm feeling much better and some of my chicken pox have gone away!" Neither of the girls had school today so hopefully she'll be well enough to go to school tomorrow. I think she will but I'm not sure if all the pox will be scabbed over.

And here's a sneak peak of a recent baby photo shoot:

Chicken Pox strike again...

Poor little Brinley is MISERABLE. Her case is much worse than Natalie's. I was SO sad for her last night when she woke up around 9:30 crying that she felt like she was going to die! Isn't that awful! We think she was slightly still asleep because she had that glazed over disoriented look about her. After being up with her at least 10 times during the night she was still crying this morning and through her tears said "I need a blessing!" Luckily my brother came into town last night so he and Nate gave her a blessing. What a sweet little testimony. Our conversation this morning:

B: I don't want to have the chicken pox any more.

M: But isn't it fun that you get to stay home from school and watch cartoons?

B: It's not fun any more. I have more fun at school. I want to go back to school.

Poor thing...she really is miserable. 

Now...multiply what you see here at least 5 times and then place it EVERYWHERE on the body...arms, hands, fingers, feet, toes, legs, bum...everywhere and that's what I looked like when I was Brinley's age.

At the moment Brinley's is pretty consentrated to her trunk area with some on her arms and even less on her legs.

 

On the mend...

So Natalie is pretty much done with her chicken pox. I would say she had a mild case. She really didn't get too many more pox than were in the photos. She had 4 behind one knee and 10 on her arms (total) Most of them were on her tummy and back with some on her neck, face and in her hair. There are three that I'm concerned about. That one by her ear in the picture, a similar one on the other side by her temple, and one in her eyebrow. When I was six and got the chicken pox the Dr. thought I had a zit on my eyebrow and he pinched it!...this after my parents TOLD him I'd been exposed to chicken pox. As a result it mutated and now I have a scar in my eyebrow that makes shaping, plucking and general covering up a pain.

Then I found out at church on Sunday that her cutie little friend Isaac saw her pics and asked his mom regularly if he could see Natalie's spots again.

Brinley has been home sick the past 2 days...unfortunately it's NOT chicken pox. So we're still hoping for that to come.

I created this darling little baby announcement for the twins...I'm not sure if mom's had a chance to look at it or not but she knows it's waiting (the black lines you see won't be in the finished print...those indicate the bleed over amount and the fold line:

Now I'm trying to find the energy to 1. go back to the gym and 2. clean/organize the basement...I know, I know...it's my monster
