We are in the middle of a pandemic: Things are shut down, events are on pause, we are shopping online more than ever before…and we’re told by our government to stay put and stay safe – it’s a very tough year for everyone to navigate. Add in a pregnancy and you have a whole array of unknowns and new anxieties (Will my doula be a part of my birthing experience? Is it safe to meet my friend in the park? Will my baby daddy be at my next ultrasound? Is it fair to ask my parents to quarantine before meeting baby?).
At 37 weeks, I found myself longing to document the final days carrying this baby angel of mine – how to plan a photoshoot in a Covid19 crisis? In the end it was simple – all I needed was my partner in crime, a good camera, and a few moments to get myself ready. Honestly, with today’s technology you could get away with even shooting something special on your Iphone or Android. You could even do film, which would be extra special. What came to light was that it really didn’t matter that it wasn’t this huge production or considered “professional”. We did it together, just us, in our final days before becoming parents. We got the shots we we’re looking for.
I love a good babydoll dress because I can pair it easily with converse or combat boots. It’s my uniform to have my feminine side contrast my grunge roots. I like that balance, don’t you? Check out my top choices for cute maternity babydoll dresses that can carry you from pregnancy to postpartum very easily. The great thing is you can usually take your normal size or one size up, and you really can’t tell the difference in fit with this style of dress. Happy shopping!
