This is why I didnt get maternity pictures...

I considered maternity pictures, even went all the way to Murfreesboro to get Precious Moments Photos photographer Stephanie Pruett (the Best at what she does) to take my shots... and then I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't mind being pregnant. Of course no one likes gaining an extra 40 lbs, not being able to breathe, not being able to tie their shoes or walk or... okay I will stop there but it really is a beautiful thing. I actually miss it some days. (The then reality sets in)

I captured the moment with weekly body shots I will always have and can go back to and laugh. I really was a lot bigger than I thought I was.

Now for all of those beautiful pregnant women this is how maternity pictures can turn bad quick! here is a quick reference for what Not to do!!! Pregnant Chicken has some hilarious and not so pleasant maternity pics that might make  you reconsider the beauty in your very small swollen belly. 

Enjoy the laughs at the very Awkward Pregnancy Photos.

Bathing suit Dilema

To get a bathing suit while preggers or not? This is my question. I am lucky enough to be pregnant over the summer (ha), so I get to decide whether or not to be seen in a bathing suit. Everyone says aww you're pregnant, it will be cute... no one will care your pregnant. Well, just because my belly is starting to pop out doesn't mean I want to show off everything else right now. Things are changing and it's not just the belly:) So, should I suck it up and get in a bathing suit? Then you have to decide whole piece, tankini or rebel two piece. The two piece is out, I would only save this for the back yard. So I guess I will have to suck it up and get a bathing suit unless I want to stay in the hot shade all summer. Oh the issues I face, such a hard life:)

Here are two possible options from Target.

Anyone know of any great preggers bathing suits? Tell me please!
