So, I'm sure you've noticed the lull in posting. Technically I have several posts ready to go (even an awesome guest post from my dear friend Laura) but I've just steered clear of the whole bloggy thing lately. I'm not totally sure why--it has just happened that way. To give you an update though, I'm now considered "full-term" in my pregnancy (full-term being 37-42 weeks) so little miss Bennett is free to grace us with her presence at any point. Not that I'm technically "ready", but who is ever really (and I mean really) prepared for a wee one?
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some photos from my maternity photo shoot. My friend Christy did an awesome job capturing just what I wanted--Elliott and I around our house and neighborhood. If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed a lot of maternity photos being pinned for inspiration, and I decided I wanted a very suburban feel. Yes, I live super-close to the beach so a beach photo shoot crossed my mind, but I couldn't imagine myself splashing in waves with sheer scarves and such. Pretty, but not very "Tristin". So, here's what I'm calling my suburb-tastic maternity photos.

| See my dog in the background? Little did we know he was plotting a picture-ruining but laugh-inducing moment of deuce-dropping. He's classy, that little man. |
 |
| This is a "real" moment between Elliott and I. Her arms crossed in defiance and my hands on my hips all "because-I-said-so" like. Yeah, I've told you before that we keep it real. We still do. |

| This is the baby in Elliott's belly. His name is Simon. ; ) (It's the name I'd intended to use for a boy.) |
Thanks Christy, for an awesome capture of a cool time in our lives. Oh, and if you want a glimpse of my buddha-tastic big ol' belly, I've saved the best for last. How do our bellies stretch SOOO big and then slim back in? It's simply amazing.
