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.

Honoring everything it has taken to get here and welcoming whatever is to come.
