Modeling shoot and baby stuff!

As much as I hate getting my picture taken I decided that I should have this wonderful yet sappy occasion documented. My friends Tricia and Jodie have started their own photography businesses (make sure you check out the links below) and I was their first maternity model. What a privilege! These ladies took some amazing pictures that I would have never thought to take. My wonderful husband also took part in the shoot. We had to act/model a little which was ridiculously funny! Jason constantly makes me laugh and it was really amazing to do this with him! We actually had fun! I thought Jodie and I had discussed NOT doing bare belly shots, but of course I got talked into it. :) It was quite awkward for me, but I got over it and kinda got into it after a minute. I would rather be silly than try to be all maternity mushy like and fake!

My mom got to be there for the photo shoot. She was here for Spring Break helping me with all of the baby stuff. We registered, looked for furniture, bedding, and all that comes with baby. And who knew that there is so freaking much? Gosh! It was totally overwhelming to register. There are way too many things to think about. What happened to the simpler days of just needing a blanket and a boob? But we got a lot done, with the help of my mom-in-law Connie. The grannies were so excited and just about bought Babies R Us out of girlie clothing. I am bound and determined to keep this baby far away from Princesshood, but it looks like everyone else is making that very difficult. Thanks ladies!

So I am 26 weeks and counting. I want it to go by really slow. I am actually enjoying being pregnant. More to come...

Make sure you check out my friends Tricia and Jodie's sites. They are fabulous and very affordable!!!
