I love the look on Jamie’s face in this picture, he looks like a first timer, or as one friend more accurately put it ‘a baby deer in headlights’.

I was mistaken last week when I thought I was done hauling the duvet cover into the sunroom for weekly pictures…I forgot the most important one! So here it is, the final installment in the maternity meg series, with a  very special poem for our little girl whose name means ‘beautiful waters of peace’…

40 weeks

There is so much more to tell, so much emotion, humor and sweet memories to share with you in the coming days, but for the moment I am short on sleep and in high demand with these little ones.  Thank you to everyone who has been following along and sharing in this special journey – and for the guys out there who are reading I promise, more hunting and fishing stories to come ;)
