With this pregnancy being the last pregnancy I plan on having, I wanted to cherish each and every moment. I am lucky enough to have connections with many wonderful photographers and took the opportunity to make a business deal with a close photographer friend of mine. I gave him a great deal on a hand painted outdoor mural and he returned the favor by spending one day a week helping me document my baby bump. I spent time on Pinterest making an inspiration board. I didn't get in every single idea I thought of but here are my favorites from week 19-36. Our daughter and final piece to our family was born right on the 37 week mark! So here is my list of must take pics during your pregnancy.
Visually mark your weeks, chalk boards wok great for this.
