It’s been five long/short months since the twins entered this the world and five long/short months since I stopped documenting the bump they gave me. A couple of months ago I started to construct a collage of the belly pictures I took to show just how ginormous I got week-by-week. I had this great idea to turn all of the weekly pics to black and white photos except for “the bump”, highlighting it’s presence…as if it’s size didn’t do that already. Great idea, a long time to accomplish with my current job as mother keeping me on high alert. Then Natalie posted a fantastic collage a few weeks after her son was born and it really lit the fire under my bum to finish mine. :)
So folks, here we have:
Born on their 37 week in-utero birthday, you can read Seraphia (5 lbs. 13 oz.) and Cecilia’s (6 lbs. 14 oz.) birth story in four parts – Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV, if you’re interested in that sort of thing. Then, get a load of their cuteness at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months…I’m a smidge behind on posting their 4th and 5th but who can blame me? I’ve got twins. :)
. . .
P.S. I used pixlr.com to create the colored bump effect. First I opened a belly pic, duplicated it (duplicated the layer…not sure if I’m speaking technically correct), turned the duplicate (on top of the original) black and white by desaturating it, and then erased the area over my belly to reveal the still-colored photo underneath. Easy peasy. It’s such a fun way to edit a picture!
