Awaiting Jack: Maternity Photos

by Nina on July 6, 2011

I was so skeptical about having maternity photos taken, therefore I really cannot believe I’m posting these pictures for the world to see but our dear friend Leigh did such a wonderful job that I couldn’t not share her work with all of you. I wanted the pictures to be super simple and that’s exactly what she did.

Here I am carrying our sweet baby boy at 36 weeks, 3 days! Exactly one week ago today.

We are growing more anxious with each new day. I have my weekly appointment tomorrow and hopefully will know more about Jack’s arrival date!

In the meantime, I’m trying to keep myself busy yet rested at the same time. I find that if I give myself a few tasks per day it keeps me motivated and less stressed. I do much better in the mornings so I’ve been getting up early and crashing in the evenings. I thought about going to the pool this afternoon but it’s just too darn hot. Maybe tomorrow.

Before I go, be sure to check out all of the new OiOi Diaper Bags at Just Kids Store. Also, the 2011 – 2012 Faux Crocodile momAgenda desktop is now available for pre-order. The faux croc version is Rachel Zoe’s momAgenda of choice!
