I wish I had started right away. My DH takes them every Sunday and he's pretty good at remembering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-760123 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:40:36 +0000 StbHisMrs 760123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I only have two photos and I am still so sad about that (and it was eleven years ago). With my second I made sure to take weekly photos after 9 weeks I think, nothing fancy just self-photos in the bathroom mirror. I'm doing the same thing this time around but it's harder because LO cracked my phone which has my babybump app and reminder and a better camera. These are all coming out blurry :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-760118 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:39:07 +0000 lilyann 760118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start until I was about 25 weeks along and I wish I had started sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-760030 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:00:25 +0000 Vegmama 760030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite maternity series was by Ryan of Pacing the Panic Room ... It seems that he's made all of the posts private. Bummer! I also love this one by Bluebird: <a href="http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog/maternity-series/" rel="nofollow">http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog/maternity-series/</a> We'll do something similar with photos of the both of us together each week. We're photographers though, so to not document would be a crime!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-738596 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:05:05 +0000 googly-eyes 738596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't! I have a few pics from when I was pregnant but not regular ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-738595 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:04:56 +0000 Boogs 738595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took none and I regret it. I wish I had taken a couple at least, once a month would have been nice, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-738551 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 01:05:52 +0000 Photo Book Girl 738551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept a pregnancy journal and then made a photo book out of my journal entries and photos. I didn't always have belly photos for every week, but since I usually am snapping something with my phone, I had lots of photos even if they weren't belly photos. I did do a huge layout featuring all my belly photos in one place and it is fun to look at the progression. I also had a friend who is a pro photographer take some "artsy" maternity photos. I love how my book turned out. I wanted to remember everything about being pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-737844 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:57:12 +0000 MrsStar 737844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took about 8 while pregnant. I tried to do weekly ones but could never remember. I love looking at the photos and remembering what it was like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-737672 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:47:17 +0000 Boheme 737672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: hahahaha! That is priceless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-737670 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:46:10 +0000 MamaBehr 737670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz this is what it looks like with a watermelon. I think this was the only watermelon we could find because it was up north in February....<br /> And, I stop smiling in the pictures as the pregnancy progressed hahahaaha </p> [attach=2569/13/mlq70z.600x450.015.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-737523 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:45:30 +0000 Boheme 737523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I have the What to Expect app, and I thought it was so cute when baby was the size of a poppy seed, apple seed, etc. Now that baby is the size of a canteloupe I'm scared! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-737492 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:38:37 +0000 beesknees 737492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out the app Cinemama, its by the march of dimes, free too! it has a reminder on it, and a guide to help you line everything up so your pictures are similar crop. </p> <p>For me with Baby #1, I just took selfies every week starting about 14 weeks. And it was awesome to put it all in one collage and see. This time baby 2.0 is brand new, I will take one pic a week again. Probably using cinemama and just the regular selfies like last time too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-735435 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:16:14 +0000 Koolbreeze 735435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a pic every 4 weeks with both pregnancies. I get to look back at how huge I got, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-735418 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:07:47 +0000 MamaBehr 735418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took belly pictures with whatever fruit "What to Expect" said the baby was the size of. It is SO fun to look at those pictures! With my second pregnancy we have almost none of me pregnant, I kind of regret that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-735300 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:09:21 +0000 Charm54 735300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one from our (early) babymoon at 13 weeks...and just took one this week at 18 weeks, lol. I don't think I'll regret not having weekly photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics/page/2#post-735250 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:43:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 735250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them weekly from 7 weeks. I thought it was silly to start at 4 weeks cause there wasn't a bump but i kind of wish i did! there are subtle changes, fun to look back on.</p> <p>plus, i had the belly book, which has a spot for a photo for each week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-735125 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:39:17 +0000 DigAPony 735125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 12 weeks today and I took one photo at 6 weeks but I haven't taken any since! I just keep forgetting; even though I'm not showing yet I still want to document it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-735105 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:30:21 +0000 yerpie110 735105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them monthly and that was more than enough documentation for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-735094 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:25:36 +0000 Boheme 735094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Me too! I took one at 5 weeks in the Target fitting rooms because I was convinced I was already showing and that people would find out before we were ready to tell. I came across it the other day and cracked up laughing... Definitely NO belly there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-735084 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:22:25 +0000 birdofafeather 735084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did weekly ones. it is fun to look back and see the progression! i thought i was so big in the beginning... ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734648 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:59:06 +0000 GrapeCrush 734648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i took two the entire time i was pregnant with #1...i don't regret it. so far i've taken 1 while pregnant with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734604 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:46:42 +0000 pl0508 734604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekly ! I'm glad I have them ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734539 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:33:08 +0000 heffalump 734539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did every other week, but next time I'd like to do weekly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734259 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:55:39 +0000 Chillybear 734259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to take them about every 4 weeks. So 4, 8, 12 and this week will be 16. I think I'm going to have a coworker take a couple in our photo shoot room at 20 weeks to do a facebook gender poll and at 26 weeks i'll be MoH at my cousins wedding so i'm sure there will be lots of pictures taken </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734248 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:52:05 +0000 Pepper 734248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started taking them at 9 weeks. Wish I took a before shot! I try to take them once a week, but lately it's been every other week. I have scheduling problems with my DH... I get a shower after work and he gets home after me. So, once he's home, I'm usually not camera ready! (He takes all my pictures for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734231 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:48:47 +0000 avivoca 734231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been taking them weekly/bi-weekly in the mirror. Just iPhone pics. I thought I would be more invested in them, but I'm not a big picture taker anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734227 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:48:12 +0000 edelweiss 734227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i took about three. while it would be nice to have more, i'm okay without them. the ones i do have are from the end of my pregnancy, which is the time i wanted to remember most because of the big belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734211 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:43:21 +0000 autumnlove 734211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them every few weeks when my mom wants to see one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734206 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:41:02 +0000 BelugaBean 734206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took at least one a week! My mom and MIL would ask for one a lot and I wanted to make sure I had a lot. I do agree with others though that I wish there were more candid pregnancy photos of me with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-document-belly-pics#post-734203 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:39:19 +0000 lawbee11 734203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I take one of myself every week in the mirror, and my DH takes one of me every other week. In the bi-weekly ones I wear the same outfit each time and I use an iphone app to label them. </p>
