Woahhh happy due date to me!!!! ✨💙
I’ll be honest 40 weeks ago I was excited, nervous, anxious and definitely nauseous as hell and probably throwing up.
Today I’m feeling the same, but oh so very ready to hold my baby boy in my arms. I’m blessed that this pregnancy has been over all good to me.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been feeling down. I hadn’t really documented how my body was changing throughout this pregnancy like I did with Rowen.
You know me....all about the photos and collecting so many moments that soon become memories we look back on.
While my son was at school and I was done doing chores around the house, I had some time. I said “screw it” let’s try and take some maternity photos with my camera. I called my husband upstairs and asked him to help me. I gave him some tips and showed him some inspo. He went to work and within 20 mins got these photos of me.
How beautiful is it that the one behind the camera is my wonderful, patient husband. I think that’s what makes these photos so much more special to me. He is the very best.
People have told me my heart would divide, but instead, it’s just breaking wide open. 🕊️
Carrying you, my sweet second-born, has been a journey of silent, fierce transformation. There is a specific kind of magic in these final days—the way my body has become a sanctuary once again, stretching and shifting to build a soul from scratch.
I’m grieving the end of our “just us 3” time while counting the seconds until I hear your first breath.
Looking at these photos, I see a woman who has surrendered her body to a miracle. The kicks that take my breath away, the weight that slows my step, and the quiet internal dialogue we’ve had for nine months—it’s all leading to this.
Giving birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world; it’s about the shedding of who I was to make room for who we are becoming as a family of four. It’s messy, it’s exhausting, and it is the most passionate work I will ever do. Here’s to the final stretch.
We are ready when you are Remi 💙
