Maternity Pictures

I have a friend/cousin that is getting ready to have her baby. I saw her on her blog with her cute pregnant belly. It took me back to my last pregnancy. I knew we weren't going to have any more kids so I decided to have some professional pictures of my belly taken. Heather Kozup did such a great job. I was very nervous about having them done because I would have my belly hanging out. She came to my house and we did it in my bedroom. She made us feel very comfortable. Not one of my kids even cried or threw a tantrum. She took about 100 pictures in a bunch of different poses in about an hour. Check out her website http://www.kozup.com/ . Not that I think I am a model by any means, but every time I look at these pictures I am just flooded with so many memories and emotions. My last baby was born 2 days before Valentine's Day and so for Valentines day I gave the pictures to him. I had found some 12" x 12" frames, took the mats out and just scrapbooked them on a 12" paper.. He had no idea that I had even had them taken. I had to swear my kids to secrecracy. They did awesome and he was totally surprised when I gave them to him. We were in the hospital with a brand new baby, so it really was extra special because we had survived being pregnant and had the most beautiful reward right there in our arms. WOW, this post is turning into a sappy one, not what I had in mind when I started. So any of you pregnant mammas out there, take pictures of your belly. I forgot to mention that I was 2 weeks from c-section day.
