This week was a whirlwind! It was a lot of the same during the weekdays (worry about pregnancy, hang with Bennett, see Jimmy in the evenings and mornings) but this week I also had to run a million errands, do laundry, and pack because it was LAKE WEEKEND!
I 100% went overboard this year on the dock photos. Each year we take cute and natural photos. This year, I decided to make it a whole thing. I got props – galvanized tray & bucket, a white comforter for us to sit on, battery powered string lights – and asked all my friends to bring a light colored kimono. Yes, I went too extreme. Then I got impatient and wanted to take the pictures immediately which resulted in the worst lighting for photos ever. You can’t see the pretty string lights, actually you can’t even see us. Fails. Next year I will try to be cooler about it. I mean, I probably won’t actually, but I’ll try. Or maybe I’ll go more extreme and get some lighting haha.
Despite the failure of the photos, we all had a blast. This year, three of us are pregnant; mocktails all around! But actually seriously, multiple times, we were all drinking mocktails, including the non-preggos. Mocktails are delicious! I think I’ll be drinking them post-baby too.
