family photos

about a month ago our little family met with a photographer on a sunny afternoon and had a photo session. i bought the session last fall at an auction but wanted to wait until i was pregnant to use it. i always feel a bit cheesy when doing pictures, but it's usually worth the effort and the sometimes awkward moments. (like when she asked tyler and i to stand and look into e/o eyes while she took pictures...who gazes into their spouses eyes in front of an audience?!)

we were definitely pleased with how the pictures turned out, and of course i love the ones of riley the best. it's fun to do pregnancy shots, but also not so fun...pregnancy is not my best look so embrace my puffiness :)

and speaking of pregnancy, i am t-h-i-r-t-y weeks today. 10 to go and i really think it will be an all out battle to get to the end. i am positive i will be completely gigantic come september. i am not feeling all the whimsical feelings i had when pregnant with riley. it is hard being pregnant while parenting a toddler. however, i am grateful i feel so good, it's just becoming more and more awkward to do everything i want to and my poor little puffy feet are so tired by dinnertime. i love feeling my little girl move though and am getting more and more excited to meet her.

these are my favorite photos...
