by photochick~ Cute and pregnant. Right. You would think I would have been prepared for the fact that that is not going to be me. Considering this is not my first time around the block. Not that I was expecting cute and pregnant, but as the last trimester hits in full force it is always a bit of a shock I think.
I just keep telling myself what I tell my photography clients . . . when you are 80 years old sitting around the nursing home looking at old photos, what you looked like in a maternity photo will lilkely not seem so important. I'm pretty sure you'll just be happy to have the photo. To remember what a special time it is to grow another human being for 9 months.
I'm especially sure this will be true because you will be so far removed that you can no longer remember the backaches and swelling feet and nose bleeds (yes, nose bleeds. what the heck?) and the other litlte joys that go along with it. I'm pretty sure we would just give our right arm to have those days back. Just ask your grandmother.
In that line of thinking . . . me . . . at 30ish weeks (because I'm still running for mother of the year and don't know exactly how many weeks I am.)
You do look cute. I think all pregnant women are beautiful.

I agree with social. And you WILL love this photo later and it will be much sooner than when you're 80. ; )

You look fabulous and positively glowing! You will cherish this photo in years to come and when your "little one" is a teenager, he will never beleive that he fit in there.
Coincidentally, last night I came across a photo of myself pregnant 13 years ago! My first reaction was that I couldn't believe how great I looked. Then I remembered that at the time I felt like a very uncomfortable hippo.

You look beautiful and happy! I am totally with you on all of the strange side effects - no one told me about nose bleeds and leg cramps!
