A while back I had reached out to an old Young Life friend of mine because she is a photographer and I absolutely LOVE her photos. I knew right away that I wanted her to do our maternity photos so I contacted her basically right after we found out we were pregs. She told me to contact her a month away from the 7 month mark to make an appointment for a photo session. Well, yesterday I was sitting at work realizing this Thursday I will be 6 months!!! Then it dawned on me, HOLY CRAP I am a month away from 7 months! Which then means I am only 2-3 months away from holding Liam in my arms.
HOLY CRAP! Where has the time gone?!?! Seriously?! Anyways, we are both so excited that we are coming into the home stretch....well, we still have a few weeks for to go.
It's been busy the last few weeks. We went to San Francisco for Fleet Week in the beginning of October, celebrated our two year anniversary!!, got to see our cousins that live in Germany, and now have my sister and beautiful niece staying with us {see pictures below}. I realize that I haven't posted in a couple weeks but now you know why!
Here's my little update...enjoy!
How far along?
23 Weeks
Total
weight gain: 12
lbs
Maternity
clothes? Have some, still wearing
my regular clothes mostly though. Here is a funny story about this though. So I bought this super cute J Crew cheetah belt and was totally excited for it. I even had to explain to the hubs why it was expensive "It's real leather and don't worry it will last for months!" Well, this past Saturday we were out in LA and I had to sneeze really bad right? We were sitting in the car, (I was wearing the awesome belt) and all of the sudden, I sneezed and pop! the belt snapped in half!! Clear down the middle! I was so upset but we both couldn't stop laughing it was ridiculous! So even if I am not in maternity clothes, I am definitely getting bigger....Guess, I will stick to the target belts while I am pregnant!
