Mother's Day Maternity Photo Shoot

For my first Mother's Day I hired a photographer to take some photos of my big belly. I really wanted to capture the beauty of being pregnant and remember it- wrinkle free and before gravity takes hold of my figure. I still am amazed when I look at my own body. It is beautiful pregnant. My self perception still has not changed and I still feel like I am the same size as before I was pregnant. It is incredible for me to see how we've grown!

Leslie the photographer did a great job on her second ever maternity photo shoot and we even got Brendan's daddy in some of the photos. I could not be happier with the results! I especially love the black and white pictures! We will be calling her back to take photos of Brendan when he comes. These shots were taken at 35 weeks pregnant for a Mother's Day to remember!

31 weeks

I had my brother and Nabeel over for dinner last night and was telling them the story about the bathtub and using the belly as a table. They encouraged a demonstration and Bill got a photo. 

We are at 31 weeks today and measuring at almost 32 weeks. Dr. Hunt predicts that we have a big baby on the way. So far, I've gained 18 lbs and everything looks good. His heart beat was in the 140's. We will have an ultrasound on Thursday. We are both looking forward to seeing how much he has changed since our last one at 18 weeks. I also found out that Dr. Hunt won an award for being one of the best doctors in the valley and was recently honored in a magazine.
