Maternity Photo Shoot

My sister, Aubrie, and Kim were kind enough to come over one night when Josh was out of town to help me do a few "Maternity" photos.  Josh didn't seem to really care to have a full on photo session...so I figured I would surprise him with some pictures.  Here are a handful of the pics!
I kind of feel like I am having a "senior picture" moment b/c I am alone in them...and by a tree!

{**WARNING** Belly Shot--Actual Skin}

I saw a picture similar to this online and thought it was really cool! 
Don't Judge The Belly!

I gave a few photo's to Josh for Father's day and he was really surprised...and genuinely seemed to like them...maybe b/c he didn't have to do it?!?!

29 Weeks Today!

THANK YOU AUBRIE AND KIM FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Update on Us-28 Weeks

Baby's size? 28 cm and about 2 and 1/4 lbs
Weight Gain? The nurse doesn't tell me and I don't look or ask at the doctor.  Ignorance is bliss! Plus, I figure if my weight is an issue...they will tell me! :)
Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity a few of my regular tops and dresses.

Sleep? Using the largest body pillow known to man!  Also, getting up more frequently to go to the bathroom.  I am a much lighter sleeper these days.

Foods I am loving? Chocolate (as usual), Popsicles, and Cold Fruit
Foods I am hating? Not hating anything in particular...but not loving Asian Food or some meats.

Best moment this month? Watching my stomach move.  It is such a crazy thing to see!  I also love that Josh and a few other friends have been able to see it move as well!  I just got a call my Glider is in!  I am excited to sit in that thing...b/c it is the most comfortable piece of furniture!  Two friends this week told me "I wear pregnancy well". Made my day!

Symptoms? Sore spot on my back...around my shoulder blade. I am constantly walking around my office trying to stretch it out. Also, a little foot keeps jabbing my ribs.  It's a bit painful, but also amazing!
What I'm looking forward to? Josh possibly picking up the glider tonight! :)  Just all the exciting stuff that comes along with the last trimester.  It is so crazy to think I only have 84 days left until my due date.  A bit overwhelming when thinking about work and the fact that we will have an actual baby so soon...but it's also wonderful!

Milestones: 28 Weeks--Officially in the home stretch...3rd Trimester.
Sorry for poor quality of the pic again.  This is my camera phone and lovely office walls!
Harper is measuring exactly where she should be...which is crazy b/c I feel so huge already!

Safety 1st


Last night, Josh and I took our baby CPR class offered  by the hospital.  It is a "friends and family" course that covers adults, children, and infants.  It does not certify you in CPR, just gets you prepared in case of an emergency.  Much to his dismay, I couldn't help but take pics as Josh demonstrated his technique!




Way to go Josh!
