Downtown OKC Maternity Session - Payton + McKayla

Downtown OKC Maternity Session at Sunset

I was sitting down today and realized I never shared my maternity photos. I am 3 days overdue so what else is there to do?! I was due on July 30th and was patiently awaiting the day to come, never did I actually imagine I wouldn’t have a baby by then. I was obviously not thinking straight and did not think that going to 42 weeks was an option. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in the middle of my pregnancy and because of that, they said I would not go over 39-40 weeks. Somehow through my pregnancy, I basically got un-diagnosed (my self-diagnosis) because I passed all my finger pricks and my doctors were never concerned about it at my appointments. When I got to 39 weeks I thought they might say something about not wanting me to go past 40 weeks but I guess it is no longer a concern to them so here I am past my due date!

Because of gestational diabetes, I got additional anatomy scans throughout my pregnancy and everything in the scans was standard and baby boy was measuring even slightly smaller. At my last scan, he was 6lb 13oz so here is hoping we do not have a gigantic baby coming! Overall my pregnancy has been something I love and I feel so honored and thankful to be able to carry my baby. I know in life you never know what is going to happen so every day I am thankful for this gift God has blessed us with. WHAT A BLESSING and I am not taking advantage of it. Even though I am past my due date I feel great and my body is handling everything so well. I feel like I had more signs of labor 2 weeks ago than I do now but I am just taking every day as a new day and enjoying my sleep and quiet time. 🙂 We are more than excited to welcome him any day but are enjoying our last few days as a family of 3 (Penelope included)! She has been spoiled the last week since I have nothing else to do. We have gone on lots of walks, went to the lake and she got a puppucino!

I had been wanting to try out some new locations and wanted to mix up our normal nature pictures with skylines, architecture, and sunsets! I am so excited to share this special time in our lives as well as some of my pregnancy cravings! (Pizza, Fruit, Tuna, Goldfish)
