We did our maternity pictures with the same photographer that did them before Ben was born and we are so happy with how they turned out. We took them 9/20, so just at the end of my 37th week of pregnancy. It was a bit humid, but she got them taken quickly and we barely broke a sweat!

34 weeks and baby is the size of a pineapple (approx 17.7" and 4.63lbs). Also the size of a butternut squash or a box of Eggo Waffles. Lol!

Ben was born at 38W 3D and w[...]

With our other two kids, we've opted to find our their gender during the ultrasound. For Blaire, the ultrasound tech just told us. For Ben, the ultrasound tech took Blaire outside the room and gave us a blue balloon so she could be the one to tell us. So for our last baby, we thought it would be fun to do a gender reveal. I did[...]
