I'll elaborate on the newborn photoshoot UO, expanding to maternity, engagement, wedding photos, announcing a pregnancy etc:
I feel like people try to hard to end up looking like generic magazine photos. No, it doesn't look artsy to scowl and look in the distance in a strange pose for a wedding photo. It ends up looking like you're annoyed you got married and said oh eff it, I'm all dressed up anyways let's capture the moment. Maternity photos always make me crack up too, with wistfully looking and cradling the baby bump. I understand the sentiment but they just seem so forced. Do people really frame these and have them on their walls for years and years? Especially with elaborate tutu outfits or props, just seems odd
My UO- I hate pickles. I don't understand them and they're not allowed in my house due to the disgusting smell. It's a huge fear of mine I'll somehow crave them during pregnancy and every bite will make me cry with confusion.
My maternity photos were beautiful. I'm gonna find one.
Oh my. I love me some chickfila. Have you had one of their spicy chicken sandwiches? I never understood the big deal about chickfila until we moved south. but now I totally get it, their customer service is incredible and like I said... Spicy chicken sandwich.
I am also in the camp of hating maternity photos. I had no plans of displaying those in my house. We took a nice picture of me and DH dressed up at a wedding 5 days AFTER my due date and that was what we put in my DDs baby book. No need to spend all that cash on professional pictures.
I am am also not a fan on the weekly bump photos on Facebook. No one really cares to monitor your growing stomach
HDBD on TB doesn't bug me because we are a bunch of pregnant women....but I rarely participate or even open the thread.
Dude, they serve the sandwiches DRY. No sauce. DAFUQ? Way over priced.
My brother loves chil Fil a. He told me the reason it's so expensive is because they fry everything in peanut oil. Never thought that information would come in handy but there you go.
I still have some of my maternity photos hung up, but I'm in jeans and a normal shirt. Mine were taken in our house. I wish I had been able to get them done for our daughter. I will get them done this time around. I felt so huge and the photographer made me feel beautiful. Btw I no longer have leopard print in our house.
No eggs, waffles, pancakes, none of the traditional breakfast.
I....what?
This can't be.
I had breakfast foods for both meals today. A bagel sandwich for brunch and pancakes for dinner. I could happily eat breakfast for every meal for the rest of my life.
As as for maternity photos I think they are a great way for you to remember your pregnancy, and I think professional photos are always worth the money. However, I have never seen a maternity shot that doesn't look cheesy it's one of those things that outside of you and your immediate family no one gives a shit about.
I don't see anything wrong with a maternity shoot to remember your pregnancy if you want one. FOR ME, the turnoff is the cheesy poses, signs, etc. I also skipped all that for our engagement pictures.
I I probably won't do a maternity shoot. I will get professional pictures done of the baby, but they will be natural and not posed or propped.

These eggs are crying. I just don't know how to process this.
Eta: also I don't think chick fila is that expensive especially compared to other fast food places. A sandwich is like $3.45 and it's REAL chicken. Fast food is usually fake chicken and a beef blend but chick fila is 100% a hunk of chicken. Delicious golden brown juicy chicken with crispy pickles. I'm gonna need one now...

My sandwich was more like $7. Just for the sandwich!

Was it a deluxe? I usually pay $10 for a meal for me and for a kids meal.
To be fair, I saw someone on my FB who dressed her newborn as bumble bee and it was really adorable. I just don't like the really eccentric stuff for a newborn.
I think it's super cute to have poses, props and costumes as kids get older because you can tell they're really into it and having fun.

Yes, with older kids it's a whole other story. Really cute.

What?? Okay that's ridiculous. It's like $7 for the meal here. Sandwich, fries, and delicious fresh squeezed lemonade.
@bdesterhouse My sincere apologies. I would never even have considered that. I've edited the post to remove the offensive comment.
ETA I only happened to come across your response, so especially when it's something urgent like this, I urge you to use an @ tag so that the person can see that you've replied. I get the QFP (and I would have done the same thing - although you might want to edit it now that I've fixed my post so that no one else has to see the original ugly comment?), but the @ tag helps the OP to see that you've commented back to them.
I love Chick Fil A! My youngest daughter has food allergies and that is the only fast food place where I can feed her comfortably. Our local place knows me now, we are regulars usually at least once a week, lol.

Was this the post about MOTN sexy time? Because I love that ish. I had a dream last night that I asked my friend to drive me to Starbucks so I could be awake after the kids fell asleep for...I must be missing it. We haven't since my m/s started. I wonder if I could ignore my nausea...
