Little Raspberry {8 Weeks}

May 28, 2011 by Lindsay

And I’m back with my weekly photoshoot, although this was taken almost a month ago. Oops! At 8 weeks pregnant, the baby is about as long as a raspberry.  So we used a pink wall and I decided a black and white outfit would be cute with the pink.   This was also taken right after my birthday…my 30th birthday.  Ugh…I still can’t believe I’m not in my twenties anymore!! So weird…

If I remember correctly, I was having a hard time buttoning my pants this week…and maternity pants are just too big! Second pregnancies are very weird.  I started popping out at 5 weeks, making choosing pants difficult.  Thankfully things are moving upward now and there seems to be less water retention, so I have a couple pairs of non-maternity jeans that I can wear again. Phew! But my belly is already (now at 11.5 weeks) big enough now to hold up those stretchy waistbands.  Everyone tells me it must be a boy…or twins.  Let’s hope it’s the first option!

My striped shirt is by American Apparel

.  They don’t sell it anymore that I can see, but I scored mine on eBay.  It’s long and has pockets and it doesn’t have a front or back (no tag…you wear it either way).  It’s cute with leggings…or no pants if you’re feeling brave.  I don’t get that brave.  My jeans are Lands’ End Canvas .  My necklace is from JewelMint .  I copied my hairstyle (the ballerina bun) from thebeautydepartment.com .  Lots of good tips there for hair, makeup, nails, etc!

And as usual, my wonderful photographer, Elaine West, can be found here

and here on Facebook !  See you next time!
