Ahhh....my very own maternity post. I must first share two dislikes. Number one...I used to like getting my picture taken...I really don't anymore...especially at my current girth. Number two...I don't do pregnancy well;  I get sick, I get big and uncomfortable, my feet are swollen, my skin is sensitive...I don't glow. That said, when my husband encouraged me to do some maternity photos in August/September, I couldn't really say no. If we (and certain surgical procedures) have any say in the matter, this will be the last time I experience growing another human being. Even though it packs a pile of unpleasant side effects, it truly is an amazing thing. Steve was fantastic and took some truly beautiful shots of me and baby girl. He bought me a pretty dress. He was patient when I groaned, and stopped often on our walk through downtown Victoria so I could pee, get a drink or simply catch my breath.
The first time I found out this baby was a girl (she will be our 3rd), I started smiling, crying and giggling. Ask my husband...he heard me from the waiting room. It knocked a bit more reality into the pregnancy and a bit more definition into who this babe might become.
We have a calendar in our house. It's full of X's, big and small, as our two little girls countdown to "baby sister's" arrival. We have 8 more days to cross off now...
My hope is that these photos will one day be a memory for this little one. That though she is our third, her first nine months were treasured, documented and full of anticipation. We eagerly await her arrival and love her so very much already....
