Not That Original
Looks like the whole daily photograph thing has been done.

My dad’s moving, which entails a lot of digging old stuff out of the basement. Today he sent along these pictures of me at seven months old.
Matt, 7 Months
Rachel’s comment: “You look like Eloise, with Julian’s cheeks.”

Eloise has yet to grow any hair to speak of, but Julian’s got quite the head of fluff going on, as you can see:
And, of course, you can style hair! Especially when it’s wet in the bath. Here, Julian models the “preppy” look:
I expect fun in this vein to continue.

Julian and Eloise took their first trip to a playground this morning! We had a great time at Humboldt Park on the East Side. The twins played on the swings, slid down the slides, and generally didn’t scream for about an hour. It was awesome.
Looky! A movie!
Check out all the pictures from our fun outing!

One of the main reasons we schlepped the babies to St. Louis was so that they would have a chance to meet their great-grandmother, who’s been living there for the past few years. We took the opportunity to take a picture with four generations of Harveys–er, Rensins–well, Panishes:
Week 16
Here I am at 16 weeks! (You can click the pictures to see them larger, if you so desire.) I wanted to start taking pictures of Matt every couple weeks as well. I thought it would be hilarious, but it turns out he does not share my killer sense of humor.
We’ve bid the first trimester good bye and have been happily inhabiting the second trimester for a few weeks now. So far, a vast improvement! I was starting to feel better during week 13, but then I came down with a nasty flu at week 14 that set me back for several days. Once I finally got over that, I began being treated to long stretches of feeling almost…normal? Can that be? And normal is blissful right now.
I still get pretty sleepy around 8:30 p.m., but overall I have much more energy and zest for life. I can now contemplate a future with babies in it with excitement rather than a sense of “why did we think this was a good idea, again?” I have finally discovered that I do have the capacity to coo over frickin‘ adorable onesies (when I was sick, all I could do was dread how much work it would be to wash them). And today I went shopping for some maternity clothes with my mom (thanks for your help, Mom, in all its varieties!) and am ready to embrace my soon-to-be gigantic self.
We’re starting to pack up the house in anticipation of our move. It’s daunting, so I prefer to avoid thinking about it. As far as I’m concerned, we’re just putting all our stuff into boxes as part of our new cardboard-based organization system.

Let’s take a look at the twins at the end of the first trimester from the inside and the outside, shall we? Here’s what the little critters look like now:
And here’s what Rachel looks like now:
Starting to look like there’s some babies in there, huh? She’s been feeling pretty awful for the last few days, but I’m hoping it’s related to the low barometric pressure… or something.
