Personally, I didn't do this with my son 3 years ago when I fell prego and have decided not to bother with this time around with my daughter. I mean, it really isn't my thing. its not like I'm insecure or anything, just think its waste of money, of course I can afford if I choose to but I don't find it appealing. Sure I like to keep track of my bumps every few weeks to see the progression, but wasting on useless expense on a dress and photography that can be easily taken by anyone isn't necessary for me... I know we all have our own likes and dislikes, we can agree to disagree...
