Maternity Pictures =)

This past Saturday my darling sister-in-law Zaira came over to take some pictures of mah belly. I didn't go the professional route because well, considering all the expenses coming up in our future, it just didn't seem right. And it turns out I didn't need to, she did a wonderful job, and since it was her I was able to take some nudish pics that I'm obviously not sharing but they are quite nice if I do say so myself. They don't show anything they are not supposed to and they are very artistic but I still feel awkward putting it out there.

I went for the black and white finish for two reasons: Its beautiful and timeless, AND, it doesn't highlight my stretchmarks as much... or my bruised belly button. The area where I had it pierced is almost purple and the linea negra doesn't help matters. Oh, oh, oh, and you'll notice that my belly button is still in, stretched out flat, but in... no outie so far!

Pics were taken at 31 weeks 0 days...













I was trying to kiss his "baby bump" too but couldn't stop laughing!







Here we are recreating a pic from one of the happiest days in our lifes
to include the four of us.. kinda...

  10. You look great! Super cute pictures. I especially like the last one of you two recreating your wedding picutre. I caught that right away before I even read the caption. :)I'm sure after struggling for so long it's a dream come true to have maternity pictures done. That's how I feel at least. :)
