Exciting things coming up!

Today I ordered stamps for our Christmas cards!  I love getting things done well ahead of time and having everything organized and ready to go.  I prefer to send out my Christmas cards right after Thanksgiving, and I debated trying to wait and do Christmas/New Year cards to try and squeeze in a picture of our little one.  But I ultimately decided to do a Christmas card separately and I will be (hopefully) using the maternity pictures we get taken.  I just booked the appointment for those too.

I decided to do them when I was about 32 weeks, which I think will be plenty big enough.  I get to do three different outfit changes and will now be on the lookout for what to wear.  I think we will do most of them outside, so I will need to wear something somewhat warm.  I think I want to go for basic black/white for both Steve and I, because too much color in pictures annoys me.  Especially since it will be winter-ish.  I'm thinking at least some of the shots will be in some nice grey or black yoga pants...like this picture, which I like (copyright noted in pictures):



I might want to do a dress pose too, what do you think?



I might throw a pair of dark wash jeans into the mix, like this:



Neither Steve or I want any with just him and my belly, kissing it or hugging it or staring at it creepily for example, like this:

 It just weirds me out.  As do the rosary beads....

or this:
 interesting...

So back to what I DO like...not many when it comes to both Steve and I.  Thankfully that is what Mitch is for, brilliant genius that he is, but I still want to think of what I do and don't like.

I like this type:



or something like this:



So anyway, those are my ideas thus far.  Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!
