Remember when I went to Maine with my Hubs and pup, and Mums and Dad, and Bens and Kristen?

#mainecation #thewaylifeshouldbe #gestationvacation – ring bells?

If no, here is the photo-laden recap.

If yes, well then you know that we attended my cousins phenomenal mountain/ocean (at the same time) view wedding while we were there and baby and I danced the night away on our collectively swollen feet. But after dinner and before dancing, I snuck away with my camera and lighting crew (the sibs) to take advantage of the amazing backdrops and my (thanks be to Kristen) good hair day.

Speaking of Kristen — I took full advantage of having a sister all week by roping her into things like curling my hair last minute, daily wardrobe consultations and continuously making me mocktails. And when I asked her to take on the role of quick blog-tographer, she did so without an ounce of hesitation or need for instruction. It’s love. And if it’s not already apparent, I’m ever-grateful for this girl…

… and my best bro for bringing her home to me. Fine, bringing her home to us* I’ll share if I have to. Cuties.

Following a few minor hiccups, like my phones storage being full, figuring out that there is no pretty way to pick flowers while pregnant, and the obvious issue of humans and vehicles meandering into view – we were off with our pockets full of iPhones to snap some quick maternity-shoot-esque pics.  Keeping in mind that these were taken mid-party, on an iPhone4 and edited/filtered via Instagram by yours truly — I’m pretty freaking impressed with the results. Here they are in no particular order. I tried to keep the filters somewhat consistent for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy the insta-goodness…

                        And now that I’ve blogged about them and there’s only 10 days left before the interwebs is suddenly inundated with photos of my newborn, expect these to be plastered all over the place for the next week.
