Model Shots

Last week Aaron and I did a maternity shoot with Ann Sumi Photography (i.e. our best friends, Ann and Trav) and I'm sooo excited about the pictures!  It was really fun doing the shoot with them.  Now we have pictures that really highlight the beauty of my pregnant figure rather than all the aches and pains and weirdness of pregnancy that I usually focus on.  I love that we'll have these to look back on and remember how amazing this pregnancy is!  (..and how amazingly large I am!!)  Thank you seester and brother-in-law.. I love them. 

Bare belly.  It's all the rage.  Really.  Google maternity photos.  You're lucky I didn't get full on naked!  haha

 Love.

The wind is even blowing through my hair in this one!   Total model shot, right?  haha

 Don't really know what Aaron was doing here.. I wasn't watching what he was doing in the background.. but I like it.

 Hand on hip = sass.  Not my rendition of I'm a little teapot.

 Twirling.. not so easy at 8 months.  Maybe a little dangerous, even.

 Almost tipped over a couple times.

 This might be my favorite.

 Amazing editing by Ann Sumi Photography!

I think Aaron looks really handsome in this one

  

We sat in rabbit poop to get this shot.

So hard to choose just a few favorites. 

Had our OB appointment today.  NP said that my groin aches and pains are normal and there isn't much I can do about them.  It's basically Kaila constantly pushing up on the area with her big hard head. hehe  Other than that, I gained 7 pounds in this last week (mostly due to the really bad swelling I had going on in my legs and feet today)!  She suggested I start wearing support hose to work since I'm on my feet all day at work, and when I get home I need to lie down on my left side (to promote circulation).  She said it isn't anything to worry about as long as my blood pressure isn't high (it's not, it's always good) and I don't feel dizzy or lightheaded or have protein in my urine.  I guess the whole working til 5 days before the due date may be a rough road ahead.. but I'll start wearing support hose (really, this time) and see how that goes!  No vaginal exam, but I'll probably get one next visit.
