We also got the chance to take some fun maternity photos of my growing belly. I'm now 29 weeks! Its crazy how quick August 10th is going to come. I'll hopefully be sharing some of those photos soon! Lots of Love- Briana

Sometimes we get so caught up on the idea that we forget there is a time and a place for it and maybe that just isnt now.
