39 weeks

Although I doubted it would happen, I somehow found myself taking 39 week bump pictures. After waddling around all week in running shorts and a tank top, last Friday I put on a dress to compliment my freshly highlighted hair and busted out the camera. Although I’m expecting this little babe to come past its due date, I figured I might as well take photos at 39 weeks, just in case I don’t make it to 40.
On this same day, I completely finished the nursery… for now. I realized I just don’t need to deal with some things {such as adding random attachments to our stroller} until this baby actually arrives, so I sorted the final lingering piles into drawers, stuffed a few boxes in the closet, and I’m calling it done. Further decorating and sorting will take place when the baby is napping. I plan to show some sneak peaks of the baby’s room later this week. But while I was in the nursery taking photos for the blog/baby book, I had some fun taking pictures of the 39 week bump, by messing around with the baby’s mirror, natural light and a dark bedroom. Then I convinced myself to go outside in the 108 degree heat and snap a few more photos.
I don’t know if a 39 week pregnant woman has ever felt more accomplished…

  2. You look amazing- these are my favourite shots yet 🙂 You did such a great job of taking them yourself- and oh the bump, it really is looking mighty fine!
