I haven't exactly been great about documenting much about this pregnancy. Not a single classic "bump" picture has been taken. My journaling has been pretty nonexistent. So the other day, as I tried to look past the exhaustion that I feel now and consider what I would want in the future I decided we should try to take some family maternity pictures. Riley loves looking at pictures from when she was a baby or when I was pregnant with her. I didn't want to have to explain to Nelson that I let this time go by without doing anything special for him. I also wanted to capture this rapidly decreasing timeframe when it's still just us and Riley.
So the day before my 35 week mark I tried to get us as ready as I felt necessary and we took some pictures! It started as a little photoshoot inside with just Riley and I and then Bo got involved to get some full family shots. It's hard for me to want pictures at this point in pregnancy because I never feel like I look good and it's easy to be critical of how I look. So are we took the pictures I knew I may not love everything about the outcome, but I love the moments in time that it's capturing.
