Logan's Birth

Nicole has been bugging me to join the Picasa collage revolution...so here are some images from Logans birth.

Sorry about the graphic nature of the poop, hope you didn't eat lunch yet!

Kissy Face

I finally got a picture of the "kissy face". Thanks for your help Nicole :)

Logan Theodore Shrode

Born on 6/10/10 at 8:14pm; 9lbs, 5oz; 20 3/4 inches long; head and chest circ. 14cm (what!!??)

Here is baby Logan finally making his appearance into the world. It was a very long day, I had a bad reaction to the induction meds and ended up with a 3 hour long rollercoaster contraction, then 5 hours later had the craziest contractions before my epidural (needless to say I was screaming "GIVE ME THE DRUGS!!!". He was really big 9lbs, 5oz, and we were all worried about him fitting. Luckily for me I have the greatest doc ever and she was so supportive and encouraging (not to mention all the physical labor she put into it all as well) and we were able to have him naturally, HOORAY!!!

On our way in!!!





















Kisses for good luck!
















Little Baby Logan!!!!!!

The Preggers Twins

So nice to be able to be going through this with my sis! She's a few months behind me (I'm 37 weeks and she's 24 weeks) and just now starting to look pregnant. Good thing too because I'm about to pop!

Work, Work, Work

So I figured since I'll be taking some time off fairly soon that I'd show off a little of the work I do. I'll be going back to my graphic design job after the baby, but taking less responsibility than before. Hope you enjoy!

These are some websites I've designed (but not put up on the web, someone else does that), I did the artistic creation of the pieces and the design of how things should look as a whole.

Maternity Shoot

Here's a sneak peek of what I spent my afternoon doing today. Rachel was amazing and holy cow went above and beyond what I expected. Four hours and many outfits later this is just one of what's to come! Thanks Rachel!!!! Steele The Moment Photography rocks!
Justin was playing with these blocks for like 10 min after we used them for another shot, he came up with some great photos on our camera and then shoved his hand into this shot. It turned out awesome!
Can I tell you how freakin' happy I am that we finally have some awesome family shots of us!!! After the wedding (which we got some awesome shots from, so don't think I didn't like them) we were still kinda missing "that one" that was just us and deserved to be blown up and be on our wall. I'm really excited to see what else Rachel has in store for us!
