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.

The pic is really cute. I miss your "bumpdates".
the ones where I would write out what was happening that week or the pics? Cause you see all the pics on instagram. It was the same thing every week so I stopped. I didn't get over being sick every week. I didn't get cravings, I wasn't gaining... Seemed trite.
i can totally see a picture frame with both your wedding bouquet pictures and your belly picture. very cute!
Oh i like your wedding picture used as an inspiration.
Have you thought of taking some with a similar flower bouquet ?
Lorena that would of been a great idea for our wedding anniversary last year! Maybe for our 15th.
Aww, I love that picture! I felt the same way re: blogging while pregnant and immediately post-partum. I don't know if it's bothering you, but if it is, please don't worry, it will come back. You just focus elsewhere for a while.
I'm so excited for you!
I really love the maternity photo with Dave. Classic. Awesome.
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...) ;)
That's a really striking photo! I love the composition and the colors, and how his hand is resting on your arm. It has a great feel to it. And Waffle...oh the cuteness. Such a lovely girl. I bet she will love being an aunt! (Big sister? lol) Totally agree about the color thing--I hate grubby baby stuff. I wish that kind of thing came in dark red, though! A red-loving friend of mine looked high and low for her first kid, but no dice. I hope your head is feeling better!! You're being so brave about that. A nine-month headache? Yeegh. I would be living on chocolate to compensate. ;-)
