Random Baby Stuff!

As many of you probably saw, last Wednesday was my last day at my job. I am a little sad but it's so nice being home. I'm getting so much done at home because I'm not exhausted from working all day.

I think we have everything that we need, that I can think of anyways, thanks to Amazon. Woot!

Got our maternity pictures done Saturday.....I am not too happy about it. Our usual photographer, who took our wedding and announcement pictures, broke her camera and did not know when it would be fixed. I didn't want to wait to get them done any longer, so I went with another friend and her husband. Her husband is a professional photographer and has a studio nearby. The pictures turned out nice, but they aren't us. They look so staged and they didn't really listen to my ideas with different props and whatnot. I ended up talking to them and they apologized, didn't charge me for the pictures or prints, and said we could do it again. I politely declined. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't know if maybe I want to try someone else, or even just have someone snap a few informal pictures one weekend. Guess we will see how the weather holds up here (it's been so warm, but rainy) and see what happens with little man.

Finally, had my 36 week appointment yesterday. Everything was great with both me and little man. Not dilated yet, but she could feel his head right there. No contractions, not even Braxton Hicks, here. I'm not worried about it. I'm sorta anxious cause I'm getting really really uncomfortable but he will come when he wants to.

Re: Random Baby Stuff!

  • I'm sorry you pictures didn't turn out the way you had hoped. Do you think there is any chance you friend will have her camera fixed soon? 

    I know the last month is touch and seems to last forever so I understand why you are so anxious. I never had any braxton hicks and you might not have them either. Do you have an exercise ball? I bought one and bounced on that during the last month and also took a lot of walks. Both things are supposed to help make the baby come.

  • I don't. I've been trying to just be active around the house, despite feeling and looking like an over inflated beach ball. I'm not gonna go crazy with all those "induce labor" stuff lol. It's a good lesson in patience = ). She said her camera will be out at least six weeks, so she won't have it in time = (. I honestly didn't really want them done cause I'm not crazy about how I feel or look, but everyone said I'll regret not getting them done. My sister offered to snap some pics for us, just with her phone, so I might do that, just to have some.

  • I didn't even think about it. I've been taking my own picture a week the whole time, and I don't know if it's something I want to spend money on. Unfortunately, I'm the only camera nut I know. I'd be spectacular at taking other people's pictures, but I can't take my own... so... unless I can actually get my BIL interested in taking them when he comes home for Spring Break (or anything to do with becoming an uncle for that matter, lol!) I'm probably not doing them. So I don't know that I'd worry too much about not having professional ones done.

  • Sorry to hear about the pictures not working out for you. It was very nice of the photographer to refund your money. Most photographers wouldn't do that. I actually just cancelled on a photographer for Liliana's Easter photos because I am not crazy about the dark backdrop or the props she is using. This photographer posted a sneak peek of other Easter pictures that she took and I immediately didn't like it and got in touch with a different photographer and scheduled with him. Pictures are expensive and I want to be 100% happy so I know how you feel!

    Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.

  • I was very surprised they refunded us our money. Like you said, they didn't have to do that. I'll probably have my sister come snap a few pictures of just me, in his nursery sort of thing. It took a lot of convincing to get Tyler to do the first set, so I'm not gonna push it if he doesn't want to do more.

    Found out yesterday that my group B strep test came back positive. = (. I know, it's not a big deal as long as I get antibiotics while in labor/delivery. Still, it worries me a bit and I feel guilty, even though I know it's really nothing I can do or prevent.
