BUMPdate: Week 35, Flashback

 Flashback: November 6th, 2012 we met with our friend Ellie of Ellie Odom Photography for a mini session. We wanted some updated photos for the house. Little did Ellie know that day, that she was taking our first pictures of our family of three. :) Now here we are, eagerly awaiting our little boy's arrival! Thank you EllesBelles for the memories!!

We had a little secret that nobody knew :)

And now, we are 5(ish) weeks away from Baby  Boy's arrival !
