I've been waiting for weeks to make this 35/35 post (they're all over the place on the April board, but I thought it'd be more fun here:)
We're 35 weeks with 35 days to go today! In my "pregnancy day by day" book...it's amazing how close to the end of the book we are!
For an added bonus of fun, our maternity photographer blogged a sneak peak of my wife's maternity pics: https://renderphotography.blogspot.com/
Happy Monday, everyone.

Very cute! We would have liked to do maternity pics, but it's so expensive when you want them done properly and we figured we couldn't afford those and newborn pics.
You're getting so close, you must be getting excited! Maybe we could have a MPLS get together sometime after the little ones have all arrived.
I hear ya, TaylorandMel! There are so many amazing photographers in Mpls, the prices are $$$$! Our "mini session" with Render was $100. I highly recommend her smaller shoots, if you are looking for a cheaper option in the future for birthday pics, etc. Who did you end up using for newborn pics (the one in your siggy is gorgeous)?
Congrats on hitting 35/35--that definitely felt like the home stretch for us. The pics are great! We went DIY on maternity pics, but I will have to remember Render for the future.
If you are looking for a newborn photographer in the area, we use Amy Lucy (amylucy.com) and love her work.
I didn't realize/remember you were in the Mpls area too. I would totally be up for a Bump meet-up this spring or summer.
Would love to connect with you guys this summer--perhaps for a walk through Como Zoo or something!
