Our next appointment is Tuesday, Dec. 23rd. It should be a simple and no-frills checkup. The babies are getting bigger and bigger. As a photographer, I need to make the right image to document this process for us both. Maybe I'll share here... it all depends. This really is amazing to be expecting two when we planned for 'a' baby. We are thrilled and are working on names, though the funny thing is to decide on names for two people we have not yet met. Coming up with a name is such an awesome responsibility. I am feeling a bit unhinged by the requirement that we give the hospital names for our children before we leave the hospital. Some states require you to give your baby a name before leaving a hospital, and others mandate that you apply for birth certificates (which of course requires a name) within a month of birth. I'm beginning to read about Naming Ceremonies. This article may be a bit 'crunchy' but I completely get it:
"We don't follow anything specific, but we follow the idea of everything being connected to nature, it's just a very caring way of life." -Rowen Saunders, mother
