Loves to dance - Saskatoon photography

This family was so much fun to work with.  This little girl loves to read books and dance!  When I went over to do their consultation, she had all of us (her parents and myself) up and dancing to her favourite tunes.  It was so adorable.  We started their session in their home, and ventured out looking for some nice spring puddles to play in, but they were all still frozen on that April morning.  Either way, we still got some great shots.

little faux-hawk - Saskatoon newborn photography

This handsome little man was almost a Christmas baby, he entered the world on boxing day.  We photographed him when he was around 1 month old.  Isn't he so handsome?  It seems we get to photograph the cutest babies, and this one is no exception!  His hair naturally goes into a faux-hawk.  How cute is that?!  We hope to photograph him as he grows into a little boy.

Things I didn't know until I got preggo - Saskatoon photography

Today, I've (Mandy) decided to do a personal blog post.  For those of you that know me, and/or follow my blog, you're awesome! And, you know that I'm expecting a baby in a couple of months.  For those of you just joining us, welcome!  We are so excited to welcome the newest addition into our family.  For me, pregnancy has been an amazing experience.  It's definitely had it's ups and downs, but the ups seem to be what sticks with me.  I thought it would be fun to do a list of all the things I didn't know about pregnancy until I got pregnant.  There are the obvious things, like morning sickness and being tired all the time, and frequent trips to the ladies room, but I wanted to talk about the stuff I had no idea about until the time had come. 

Here is a top 10 list of things I didn't know about pregnancy until I got pregnant:

10.  Sleeping on your left side is what is recommended.  It's a bummer for all you tummy sleepers out there.

9.  You can't have any sushi with raw fish.  Not a big deal to me.  I love the shrimp tempura rolls anyhow.

8.  People tend to stare at you when your sporting a bump, and are often much nicer to you.  Too bad society wouldn't treat everyone as if they were preggo, minus the staring, it just gets weird. 

7.  You will have to buy bigger underwear.  Maybe that's too much information, but I had no idea! 

6.  Feeling dizzy and almost fainting is completely normal.  It would have been great to know when I almost fainted in line at the grocery store. 

5.  I've heard of food cravings, but was shocked when I had food aversions.  I still can't eat chicken breast or steak, two foods that I normally love.  It just grosses me out!

4.  Nosebleeds are common in pregnancy.  Who would have thought?

3.  A body pillow will be your new best friend.  Hubby hates it, but I can't sleep without it. 

2.  Feeling the baby move around in there is something I had no idea what it would feel like, but it's probably my favourite thing so far.  I think it's something I'm really going to miss once I have this little gaffer. 

1.  Males dogs absolutely love pregnant women.  Well at least the male dogs that I know all of a sudden love me.  I swear, they could tell you your pregnant before you even find out. 

Here are a couple of photos of me at 25 weeks.  I'm now 29 weeks, and growing larger everyday.  That is around 7 months for all of you trying to do the math in your head, LOL.
