Pregnancy Weeks 19 and 20

Well here we are, half way through our pregnancy. Life has changed in a few ways when you are expecting twins. For the past two weeks I have kept my camera with me whenever I was with Mandy to capture anything that would illustrate the changes we are experiencing. As an aside, I also limited myself to always using a flash with my camera in an attempt to create natural looking light despite there may not being much light available. The only time I did not use flash was in Toys r Us. All other locations were happy to let me take photos with the flash. Asking to take photos and explaining my purpose proved to be very effective. Despite company policies, the staff at the hospital, Toys r Us, and Menchies were very welcoming and encouraging.

Despite only being 20 weeks, Mandy is showing quite a lot because of the twins so I took the opportunity to take some traditional maternity photos.
