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.
Haha, that last photo is classic.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you captured this moment in time. Your family of three is darling...and soon your family of FOUR will be.
Precious pictures - ditto Solana's remark.
