Maternity photo
I have dozens of backlog photos. But I want to fix them up before posting. What can I say I just have been majorly unmotivated in the blogging department. The lack of interest in the posts kinda nailed it too. Eh. Can't win them all. But I did win one thing.
My "maternity" photo. I started it all out taking weekly belly shots. Lets be honest I HATED IT. I always wanted to skip it. So eventually I did. My self esteem just couldn't handle it. I then stuck to Instagram casual photos for bump watch so to speak.
Dave and I wanted to do some maternity photos but with the snow every single weekend the past month it has been kinda hard figuring out what to do. I took inspiration from Pinterest and my favorite wedding photo and we went with something less traditional.
I really wish we had taken a zoomed out shot. That way you could of seen the cowboy pj pant bottoms, the slippers, the fact that this "dress" wasn't much of a dress anymore and that we were both standing on a board on the top of an ottoman.
I always loved this photo from my wedding so it was part of the inspiration.
And as a reminder as it has been awhile our original announcement photo.
Which I jokingly "improved upon" for Facebook once we knew it was a girl.
I like how our photo came out, its "US". I took some actual belly shots but those will NEVER been seen on the internet. :) I was clothed, they aren't risque but no one needs to see how pale my belly is. Ever. Lets just say my arms are tan in comparison.
Edited to add. I wish you could tell but the charm bracelet on my right wrist is this. A Pisces charm. Dave got it for me for Valentine's day. It is the babies sign. When he gave it to me there were 4 days before it kicked into that sign and he blurted out as I opened it. "The lady said I can return it if she comes in the next 4 days!"
The two bracelets on my left are my Pop bracelet and my wedding bracelet. I wanted to put little special touches in to make it more special. Pop isn't here physically but he is always with me.

Have you thought of taking some with a similar flower bouquet ?
I'm so excited for you!
I'm guess I'm a little sad I didn't get more photos of me pregnant because I let my pride get in the way. (A 70 lb. weight gain tends to mess with one's self esteem...) ;)
