9 months preggo photoshoot....am i crazy?

mom had generously offered to give me a pregnancy photo session when i became pregnant. she said that she regrets not having more photos of her when she was pregnant and that one day i will treasure them. i got in touch with anne yarbrough, who is amazing by the way, when i was only about 5 months. we kept deciding to push it back bc i was not showing enough, benson's schedule was difficult, etc. well we ended up scheduling it when i was over 9 months pregnant! i think most people who get preggo photos done try to schedule it when they are 7-8 months so they are still "pretty pregnant"; before the swollen hands, puffy face and extra-large belly. oh well! i was showing a bit behind schedule, so i am okay with it...but i was a bit self-conscious of my blowfish face and double chin. somehow, anne did her magic and so many of them turned out amazing, despite my massive state!

baby shower!

my wonderful friends threw us a baby shower that was perfect for me. you know that means they threw me a baby shower that was more cocktail party than baby shower! it was awesome...it felt like a holiday party, except that we got baby presents! thanks mebbie, lori, carrie, cassidy and sydne! sydne was surprisingly interested in my baby bump throughout the night, until she pushed it a little and the baby kicked back...she screamed and jumped and almost spilled her drink! it was a great night and a big thank you to everyone who made it so much fun and who worked so hard to help us celebrate the little peanut.

so right now i am 35.5 weeks preggers. it is super scary to think that i have about a month until the due date. holy crap. the list of things that are not done is much longer than the list of completed tasks. i know that since christmas is coming up the time is going to FLY. well, say a little prayer that we can get our butts in gear and finish reading the "how not to maim or psychologically damage your infant" books, decorate the nursery, and stock up on baby essentials before this little thing decides to make an appearance!
