Anyway, one night I started my project and I did it by making a blank image on photoshop, and I-almost haphazardly-picked a size. 18x24. I then I took each instagram picture, shrunk it to a 2x2 and using the grid function, I placed my pictures....it turned out like this:
(I think this is going to be an awesome visual way to tell various stories
to our kids about this story in our lives, don't you think?)
Now, you may notice something here....first of all, take note that the first picture is of Ransom on the plane on our way to Houston. A fitting beginning. You'll also notice the last picture is a picture of Ransom on the plane LEAVING Houston. You may ALSO notice that the size did not change, and that there are no white spaces. I also did not miss a day or do multiple pictures for any day either....
That's right. My 18x24 poster was the correct size TO. THE. DAY. of when we would leave. There had been a couple of times, when I was adding my pictures that I had pondered what I would do with the blank space at the end...because I just didn't see how I'd possibly fill up the poster ( I really wanted to have the two airplane pictures as bookends.) and had come up with some options to make it aesthetically pleasing when Tabitha arrived at, say, 35 weeks...or 36....or 37....but none of this happened. And when she was finally born, and our flights were booked home, I counted my days and realized that my 18x24 poster of 2x2 pictures, aka 108 days was actually a prophetic hint of just exactly how long we would be on our journey.
Crazy, huh?

I LOVE THIS (yes, the love requires yelling).
I love this, too! It is perfect.
The way this worked out reminds of how long you told the Lord you'd stay in TX bb (before brett). It just worked out that way. huh? interesting!
I came across your blog from A Baker's Dozen. I was immediately drawn in because our twins suffered from TTTS as well. We never qualified for the laser surgery. Our boys were born at 25 weeks and we lost one of our sons at birth. Many, many prayers for you guys as you walk this road of both joy and celebration and sadness and grief.
