Maternity Photos

So I finally got my maternity pictures taken and I couldn't be more in love. Honestly, I was skeptical of getting any done because well... the hubs is gone and pictures alone didn't sound like a whole lot of fun. However, I am so glad I did it because I'm going to look back at them and remember what it was life to be 34 weeks pregnant with our little man. 

I got them done at Camera Shy in Gardener Village and seriously you can't beat the price, and the quality is fantastic. It was 102 degrees outside but my photographer was amazing and never once complained. They did our pre-deployment pictures and I also have SJ's newborns scheduled with them. Seriously, if you're in the Salt Lake/Utah County areas and need an affordable studio look them up. You won't be disappointed!

Sleep: I'm up 2-3 times a night, but it's nice in the early hours because i'm up when cameron is getting off work. 

Best moment this week: Started my 3rd trimester child birth/child care classes yesterday!

Worst moment this week:  I tripped over a pair of my boots at about 3am and started yelling at Cameron... only to realize that he isn't here, and they weren't his boots... my hormones were overloaded it and I cried on my floor for half an hour.

Miss anything: Not really.. other than being able to walk and not waddle

Movement: It's even more obvious now.. I sent cameron a video of him moving the other night and it was the first time he was really able to fully see it was a baby, not just me breathing.

Cravings: Fruit still, CHOCOLATE and cupcakes.

Queasy or sick: Not this week, just insane amounts of heartburn.

Movement: So much! At the doctor appointment she put the doppler on him to hear his sweet heartbeat he was all over the place and made it a little tricky to find.
