WWYD?

DH is leaving on deployment for 6mos at the end of April, making it not possible for him to be there for the birth of DS. So as a result of that I am going home to my parents house to have DS and be closer to family so im not alone with all this.

My question is: Would you still have pregnancy pictures done? Even if DH isnt there or going to be in them at all? I didnt have them done with my first, well i sorta did but they were done by a friend who was aspiring to be a photographer and they just sucked. so they dont count. So I would like to get them done but i think it would feel wrong with out DH there to be in them.

What do you think?

Im def getting newborn pictures done for sure tho!

    I suppose it is all in what is important to you.  I have a few belly shots of each of my pregnancies to remember them by and that is good with me.  I don't think personally that if I got maternity shots done, I would display them around the house.  If you feel strongly about it though then get them!

    if you were planning on getting them done before the deployment came up, i would still do them. and you can still incorporate your husband into them with a pair of his combat boots, or hat, or ribbons, shirt/jacket, or a picture of him, or a picture of a onezie that says "My Daddy is in Iraq/Afghanistan/UAE/Saudi" etc. I say do it and get creative.

    Why not do them in early April when DH is still here? You will be far enough along that you'll be super cute, and then he can join?

    Agree - get them done while your DH is still here.

    yep - i recommend my maternity clients to do their pictures between 32-36 weeks, so you could easily do them while he's still here.  You might really treasure those pictures while he's gone too - you can take one of them in a frame to L/D to make it feel more like he's there with you!

    When are you planning on going home?  Check with the airlines to see what their regulations are.   If DH can do it before you go home/he leaves, do it then, even if your smaller.  If not, then I suggest doing some with the boots and a set of dog tags.  (picture is clicky to more ideas)

    Why not get your maternity shots done before DH leaves? That way, he could be in them with you and you'd be able to get them done. I mean, you might not be as big in them as you imagined, but I feel like you might feel better if DH were there to do them with you.

    I will be going home in FEB or MAR more than likely... i guess we could attempt to do it when we get home before he heads back to Guam? i am pretty big now since this is my second. 

    thanks ladies for all the advice!
