Maternity Photos and Baby Shower Ideas

Shoot me if at any point during the next seven weeks you ever hear me complain that I am bored. On our itinerary this week is our maternity shoot which I really wasn't too excited about until just recently, and in just under two weeks is my baby shower! February obviously holds Valentine's day and then our four-year wedding anniversary is on the 20th (aka one full month of romance overload), and then OF COURSE baby boy's due date is right after that in March! I have to stop myself from getting sucked into Pinterest for too long looking at cute Valentine's Day ideas to surprise Aaron with, and remind myself that I have our photo shoot and my baby shower to get through first! The maternity shoot I was kind of on the fence about for a while,, it is SUPER easy for the pictures to come out cheesy and annoying and Aaron isn't exactly the most cooperative when it comes to cheesy and annoying things. But when I promised him that my belly will remain covered by clothing the entire time and he does NOT have to kneel down and kiss it, he agreed to attend. Some of my Pinterest obsessions inspirations =)

 
Aaron can't really complain too much about any of these poses right? (Minus the bare belly at the bottom).
 
My baby shower is a whole different ball game, meaning I have slightly less control over it than my photo shoot. It is being thrown by my mom with some help from Aaron's mom and my friend Alyson, along with some demands suggestions from me =) Did I mention how much I love Pinterest? I am in love with the idea of blue mason jars, chocolate dipped anything, sparkly garland and a naked-cake.
 
 
 
Now, the most important thing for me to remember is that it is OKAY if my photo shoot and baby shower do not end up looking exactly like my Pinterest boards. Pinterest is not real-life and I am constantly reminding myself of that. After all, my husband is way better looking than the guys in those pictures ;-)
