whimsical maternity photos


For many, many months, Rachel and I have been talking about doing some sort of whimsical/woodland type of photoshoot. She went off and got engaged/married and has been super busy but we were finally able to squeeze in a fun little photo session a couple of weeks ago. 
 
Since I was 35 weeks along, I ended up with some fun maternity shots. Rachel did an amazing job, as always. Her model was a little hard to work with though 😉 
 
I just wanted to share a few before the baby arrives!

Thanks, Rachel, for a fun night out and some special memories!!
And as soon as I get the chance, I will be sharing the pictures that I took that night. I had a gorgeous model to work with!

bumpdate


So even though I’ve made it 34 weeks without posting any kind of bumpdate (bump+update) post, I decided to throw one in today. Because something about hitting the 34 week mark has made me realize how soon this will all be over.
 
It’s bittersweet! This has been the hardest pregnancy on me. But I know from past experience that in a couple of months, I’ll look back at all the pictures of my giant belly and miss it. Buuuuut….that’s kind of hard to imagine right now!

All of the kids are super excited to meet their baby brother. But I’m pretty sure Evangeline is about to have her world rocked. She is obsessed with babies. But she’s also obsessed with her mommy. So it’ll be interesting to see what’s going to happen!!

I’m pretty sure the one who is most eager for this baby to be born would be my personal photographer–aka my husband–who pretty much wants to hide when I say “can you take a picture really quick?”

All is well with baby boy. We’re very much looking forward to meeting this sweet little guy! And I hope to be back to a not-so-irritable human being in about a month and a half 😉
