This pregnancy was a welcome surprise after 2 miscarriages last year.

I am not one who would normally feel comfortable/confident posing nude but documenting this pregnancy in this view felt right. This pregnancy was a welcome surprise after 2 miscarriages last year.
One of the toughest years of my life in many ways.

This pregnancy has been a very unique experience compared to my pregnancy with my son. I have had a hard time letting myself get connected and I’ve had a hard time accepting the changes of my body. Participating in this project was my way of accepting and celebrating what’s here and now.
