6-Month Mark

Here’s what Freckle and I look like today.
For some reason, the thumbnail makes the color a bit off. Be sure to click on the thumbnail to view the photo.
Freckle and I went to our monthly appt. with Dr. Beddow and everything is looking good. Freckle’s heart rate is normal. He was actually moving around a lot while the doctor was trying to listen, so we know he is also strong. Freckle is moving up my belly, as he should. He’s at about an inch and a half or two above my belly button.
The next test I need to take is to make sure my glucose level is normal. It’s a standard test you take at around six-month to make sure the mother does not have gestational diabetes. I will keep everyone posted with the result, even though I’m sure everything is fine.

A Letter to Freckle

Dear Freckle,
I love that you’re moving and that you’re kicking. It lets me know that you’re well and strong. But can you do Mama a favor? When you kick, kick anywhere except for Mama’s bladder. Thanks.
Love,
Mama
Subject Clarity
11 Apr 2012 Leave a Comment
Well, the second assignment in my photo class is now complete. The assignment was called “Subject Clarity” and the goal was to shoot pictures where it was easy to identify the subject of the photo. I know what you’re thinking, but it’s harder than it sounds!
For a few days in there I rented a very nice macro lens; this let me get those amazing razor-sharp closeups that you’ll see. Also it rained almost non stop for two weeks so you’ll see that a lot of the photos were taken in the rain.
Anyhow, it’s done and critiqued and submitted for grading. My five absolute best, as determined by the class and the prof, are now up on the Photo Gallery page. I also threw in some that didn’t make the final cut but are still some of my favorites from the batch of several hundred that I shot. Enjoy!

This past weekend, the family flew to Charleston, S. Carolina to celebrate Passover. We had a marvelous time there and even had a bit of time to do some shopping at the Premium Outlets! Freckle was able to make out with some awesome clothes from Safta and PopPop.
Below are pictures of his clothes. -J
EDIT: And here are some pics from the weekend! -Papa-D
