Maternity Pictures- 30 Weeks

I have always loved pregnant bellies... I am one of those people who gawks at pregnant women in the store and everything (but I have NEVER just touched one FYI).  It is really strange now that I feel people staring at me, Jason calls me a piece of meat but I figure hey, I doubt people watched me walk across the room before so have at it!  Maybe I will stop in the middle of the restaurant, lift up my shirt and have Jason sing "Shake that thing" a la the Carl's Junior commercial (see here).  In case you are wondering why I have that idea it is because we regularly do this in our own home and even took a picture of it the other day which you will see in my next maternity pictures post(oh the suspense you must feel).  You aren't shocked I am sure, our poor daughter is going to be so embarrassed of us!

Anyway, back to the point:  I have loved taking maternity photos too, I just find pregnancy beautiful.  But for some reason, when it came to me, I didn't really know if I wanted to take any or not.  At the *gentle* urging of mostly my mother but some others too, I decided I would do it but I wasn't paying anyone too.  So we started with some outdoor shots.  We went up to Apple Hill and my wonderful dad shot these for us... he did a great job!  These were taken at 30 weeks 2 days.

These ones are when we were trying to get in new positions.  Let's just say Jason really isn't very flexible and I am not the most mobile right now.  I love how he makes me laugh!
