If you follow me on Instagram, (JenMcKen) you probably have seen some of these images over the past 9 months! I mean, I’m a photographer, I take lots of pictures-it’s what I do whether I have a fancy camera or an iphone! haha! And considering this is my last pregnancy AND it went so much smoother than anticipated considering the last time around, I thoroughly enjoyed “being pregnant”….and since I have an unhealthy obsession with Instagram, I documented a lot of baby bump photos. Levi has been all over the place including Puerto Rico, Disney, Las Vegas, Red Rock, hiking, kayaking, camping….I mean you name it, I felt fantastic so we didn’t sit around the house all day! As I’m nearing the end of the pregnancy-Like LITERALLY ANY DAY NOW-I’m so thankful I took so many photos. This isn’t all of them obviously…..but just a few highlights from the past 9 months. If you do follow me on Instagram, thanks for taking this visual journey with me! I’m totally grateful for all of my amazing followers and I hope that you all kind find free ig followers of your own for you to share all of your stories with.
We’re excited to finally meet him…and we are welcoming all the chaos that having a newborn comes with. We’ve spent as much time as possible trying to do everything to prepare ourselves. I think at this point we physically have everything we need like clothing, toys, bottles and so much more. However, it’s my knowledge that is worrying me at the moment. I have been trying to learn as much as I can, from how to breastfeed, to how to sleep-train my baby with methods like the Ferber method – I just need this little one to come now to put everything into practice! I feel like no matter what I will never be prepared enough for him to come. He has no idea what he’s in for with our family! Hopefully this kid has a sense of humor, he’s sure going to need it! hahha!
I remember this day like it was yesterday……the day that I got my Snoogle! The best pregnancy pillow ever…it was like sleeping on a cloud! haha!
I had to take a photo of the pattern of the gown they gave me at my doctors appointment. It’s like they KNEWWWWWWW I loved watermelon and ordered it just for me! The other shots are from Puerto Rico where we flew to shoot a wedding! 
And then we took the bump to Las Vegas, Red Rock and the Hoover Dam! I hiked Red Rock like a champ! 
The last photo with the purple fan I called “pregnancy”! haha! I had watermelon and cool air….what else does a preggo need!
…..well maybe a pedicure by the baby daddy! He will kill me if he knows I took it, but he offered to paint my toes when I had a hard time reaching-I wasn’t going to say no! haha!
Since we have a pool, I spent many days “waiting for Levi” while eating watermelon and floating on a pool raft. It was the only way I could really lay on my belly now’a’days and I figured I would work on my tan because after he comes, my time will be allocated to dirty diapers! haha! 
Just a few random shots…or selfies I should say. The photo in the middle was taken during my maternity session by my friend Courtney. I just love it because she is so excited to be a big sister! I think she’s going to be awesome at it!!
This is my favorite photo! If you’ve watched the Dorito commercial when the parents are at their sonogram-you’d totally get it! haha! I mean, we have no shame. Greg stopped at the gas station specifically before the 36 week sonogram for this bag of chips! haha! It obviously didn’t work……we’re still waiting! haha! 
I’m to the point where I’m getting weekly NST (non stress tests) so I get to sit in a room for an hour or so and pass the time…..what else do I do? haha!
Recently we gook the bump kayaking. I figured if I went into labor on the river-water births are all the rage! haha! And yes, this might be the last time you EVER see me in a “bikini”! If there is one time in any women’s life that we can let it all hang out, it’s during pregnancy! haha! I was owning it! haha!
This is one of the most recent iphone photos we took. We literally pulled over on the side of the road on our way home from a party to catch the sunset over a local creek.
I’m sure there will be a few more photos here and there if he doesn’t arrive soon! If you want to keep up with our shenanigans before and after the baby arrives, feel free to add me on Instagram. Say hi! I can’t wait to introduce him to everyone!! <3 <3
