Personal | Maternity Session: 31 Weeks

When people ask me how many months along I am, I stutter, stammer and blurt out the weeks. “I am ____ weeks along” and then I let them figure it out in months. I just don’t think in months, I think in weeks. I didn’t get it until I became pregnant but there is just something satisfying about counting down the weeks. Does it make it go by faster? I don’t know if it does but I can say that my pregnancy has gone by very fast. I can’t believe that I have only 5 to 10 weeks to go. (Crazy broad timespan I know, but that’s how my midwife has trained us to think.) Hey little buddy in there, how about a compromise of 7 weeks from now because that would be just dandy.

Since I pregnancy doesn’t last forever and since the end is actually in sight, we thought it would be a good idea to get a few photos of us now before I get any puffier. (Side note: Aside from the puffiness, I really can’t complain, this has been the best pregnancy everrrrr. No problems, healthy, feeling fantastic most of the time, etc.)

Thank you to Carissa for taking our photos for us!! We went out yesterday morning early and it was really windy and surprisingly cool outside. (I should bring the disclaimer that certain body parts really don’t look that Gumby-ish in real life, it’s the 24mm lens.)
