maternity pictures

the unofficial end to summer is here and there is a very distinct scent of fall in the air.  pumpkins, crisp mornings, apple cider, great hair weather, pretty clothes (aka sweaters and more places to hide my ever-expanding self)... i think this is my favorite season, though it always seems far too short. and, it is quite perfect that our lady will be joining us in the peak of beautiful fall... (and, yes, i would have said that about any season).

the real reason i decided to post today was not to share how much i love fall, but to show some of our maternity pictures. i really didn't think i would do these, but mike asked me to which is too freaking cute so done and done.  hubs loves the pregnantista, apparently. we had such a fun time doing them (think background music and mike making faces at me when i am trying to be serious); i got to pretend i was a hot model for a day... er, um... so, i will leave the hot model ones out for everyone's benefit, but here are a couple for everyone's eyes :)
