For those of you that are having them done, can we post them here?! We just did some with my friend over the weekend (before they place me on strict bed rest), and I'm so excited to see them. She's given me a couple to hold me over, so I was thinking some of yours might hold me over while I just lay on the couch going crazy! Here's one she sent me:
ETA: I love this one because it has my sister's signature. As I've mentioned, my sister's death had a lot to do with what brought Jimmy (DH) and I together.
UGH still don't know! We'll find out next Wednesday at our full growth ultrasound (24 weeks). That's the BIG appointment. I'll find out what type of bed rest I have to go on (possible hospital), and they'll tell me if they need to plan to take them at 28 weeks! Thank you for asking! I'll keep you all posted!
That picture is adorable! Kinda makes me wish I was doing maternity photos!
These are our first kiddos, and with the threat of complete bed rest in the air, I wanted to be sure to have something. Plus, we didn't have a photographer at our wedding, and we've never had pictures done together; so it was time your little girl is gorgeous btw!

I've been thinking about you and hoping your LO will catch up to her sister...or at least stay at the same relatve growth rate.
Thank you so so so so much. That's what we're hoping for. Since modified bed rest, I've put on a lot of weight, and I'm feeling lots of movement from both of them, so I'm hoping that's a good sign!
When do most people do maternity pictures? I was thinking like 36-37 weeks is that too late? Seem like most of toy stew doing them much earlier
I would have done it MUCH later, but I'm in a completely different situation. My girls will probably be here by 28 weeks, and I'll be on strict bed rest in 1 week, so I needed to them done now. I'm not sure when people generally do them!
@laurelcharles---it's my favorite tattoo I love the idea of you guys getting one in your mom's handwriting! I always feel like I have a piece of my sister with me!
Alright, I promise I'd post more when we got them, so here are a few of the rest. But you all better follow through with posting when you get yours done, so I'm not the only AW!
H and I just talked about this last night. He vetoed the idea saying that he'd rather spend money on professional pictures once baby is here. I'm a little bummed, but I get his point, especially since we are trying to save some money. I'm hoping I can at least hit up a friend to take some very casual, unprofessional pictures of us one day when we are dressed up a bit.
@Rannndi I can't get over the cuteness of those little shoes! All of your pics turned out so great!
Awh thanks girl! This has been the only thing keeping my mind off of the appointment tomorrow LOL
And I love the little shoes! I had a shower this weekend, and someone got us matching flip flops...I swear I almost teared up over baby flip flops! LOL That's the first time this entire pregnancy that I've gotten emotional about it. It's all just becoming more real now, I guess!

I'm sort of in the same boat. H kind of blew off the idea, then in a mimic kind of voice asked if I wanted them done. I'm still not sure if he was kidding or not.
The girl who I would love to get them done by is also pregnant and is further ahead of me. She is so cheap but does a great job. Guess I better find someone else if H is on board.

It was only a priority to me because H and I still haven't had any pictures done together. Not even at our wedding. Then when docs started talking about delivering at 28 weeks, I wanted something to remember the pregnancy by since it may be so short! I can understand choosing to save money in this area though. We definitely didn't pay a lot. It was a friend

I would have them done as soon as you have a round bump, and not wait! I have taken pictures for a few of my friends now and I would say not to wait until you are REALLY big and feeling not so sexy. I would guess around 30-32 weeks?
@Rannndi, you are absolutely adorable, and I kind of want to punch you for it. I thought you should know.
These pics are awesome. I have a friend's friend that offered to do them for me, I'm waiting a bit to see. I was fairly overweight before I got pregnant and haven't developed much of a "bump" yet. I'm not sure how much she's going to charge either, so that will factor in.
Well I would never feel more privileged to be punched Thank you!!!!
I was terrified to do them this early because I was concerned that I wasn't showing enough, so if it was a different situation, I definitely would have waited to be further along. And her price wasn't bad either. OTHERWISE...we would have nixed them!
I don't have maternity pictures for a while yet, either, but here's the picture my husband wanted to take the day I was at 20 weeks I've definitely grown in the past 3 weeks!
