Someone (hi, Courtney) asked me if I was wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans in some of my maternity pictures. The answer is both yes and no. You see, my sister (the photographer) had this vision of me wearing my old jeans with the top button undone so we wouldn't have any elastic waist band shots. It sounded like such a good idea to me.
Fast forward to a few nights before we left for the beach. Oh, I thought to myself, Which of my cute old jeans shall I bring? I tried on one pair and got them up to my thighs before they refused to go any farther. It's okay, I told myself, You probably washed them after the last time you wore them so they're a little tighter than normal (nevermind the 22 pounds I've gained- it couldn't be that!). I figured out that it probably was those extra 22 pounds after all when my next pair of old jeans didn't make it past my knees. I settled for the jean capris I'm wearing in the picture which were always a bit loose on me pre-pregnancy.
Now, I have to say I felt a little ridiculous in the jean capris/blank tank top outfit during the photo shoot. Let's just say clothes that are that tight aren't my normal choice of pregnancy fashion, but I trusted my sister's vision for the pictures and I'm very happy with how they turned out. It was worth feeling like a pregnant hussy as I paraded around the beach in my painted-on capris with my belly hanging out.

HAHAHAHAHA
My 2 favorite moments while you were wearing your "pregnant hussy" outfit:
1) The awkward posing while that man was on the beach with us. And you just knew he was thinking, "Dressed like that, it's no wonder she got herself knocked up." ;-)
2) When I made you sit down in those capris and we experienced a wardrobe malfunction in the back. And then the difficulty standing back up.
But I still stand by my decision to have no elastic waistbands in the shots! :)
I LOVE THEM! You look amazing in those shots. I'm sure it probably felt funny during the photo shoot but it turned out so good! Also love the new look of your blog! So cute!
Oh, it was definitely adorable! But funny story... and I bet the "wardrobe malfunction" Lauren referenced was hilarious. ;0) Great choice to not have the pregnancy band in the pictures. I loved them like they wear. Just thought it was pretty darn awesome that you were wearing "pre-pregnancy jeans." You're still my hero. hahaha!
Love the pictures!
New blog award for you on my blog. :)
