After an unplanned pregnancy, the last thing I wanted to do was get maternity pictures done. I didn't want to be reminded my embarrassing actions that had gotten me in this position and I was never comfortable in my own skin before getting pregnant. My friend Lauren who happens to be an upcoming photographer asked if she could take pictures of me, explaining to me that I may look back and wish I had gotten them done if I didn't choose to so now. I believe that everything happens for a reason and instead of sitting in the negative, I chose to really embrace this pregnancy and look at it as a gift! I am so glad I listened to my friend and allowed her to take my maternity photos.. I could not stop laughing as you can tell! I'm just a silly, awkward kind of person. But please ladies!! Know that you are all each very beautiful in your own way and that even if some of your pregancies were not what you had planned for in this moment of your life or ever if that, that there is a reason behind everything and everything will work out! You are not put into situations that you cannot handle!
