Pregnancy Sucked

I am sorry, I am just NOT one of those women who remembers pregnancy fondly.  I love little Henry but the process of carrying him in my womb was miserable.  The other day I tried to think if I could come up with one thing that I miss about being pregnant. I came up with nothing.  I did come up with an impressive list of things that are much better now that I am no longer pregnant.  Things like: no more swelling, no more peeing every five minutes, I can sleep on my tummy, I have regained my center of gravity, I don't burst out in tears for no reason and the list goes on and on.  I also didn't have that "pregnant glow."  I felt like a cross between the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man and a teenager with raging hormones and bad acne.  Despite all this miserableness the amazing Cassie Williams was able to take photos of me in my bloated state that I not only like, I love. I almost didn't have her take photos, that is how awful I felt. Looking back on the photos, I am sure glad I did.

They look fantastic Jaime. I know one thing I miss about pregnancy is my hair. I'm loosing it now like it's going out of style. I should be bald by now but I'm not but this loosing hair thing is getting real old! I hope you don't get this hormone side effect!! I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

I've said it before; I'll say it again: Cass got skillz. All the same, as a photographer it doesn't hurt to have a pretty lady as your subject! I'm sure you're glad to be back to normal, but you totally pulled it off well!

Jess I have totally heard about loosing hair! I am hoping I will be okay because my hair never thickened (or looked good) while I am pregnant. I am sorry you are dealing with it. Hopefully it will stop soon!

I am glad you guys like the pictures. I think Cassie can make any subject look lovely!
