These past couple of weeks have been hard for me as I have finally hit the stage of “uncomfortable.” Sleeping is nearly impossible, I can’t put on (or take off) my shoes anymore, and all of the water I am drinking it going directly to my calves and ankles (which are now one in the same.) As much as I hate complaining and feeling down on myself, it’s getting harder and harder for me to stay positive. Of course I am my own worst enemy and deep down inside I know that soon enough I will miss these days terribly.
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Kaity and Jessica of Well Rounded NY that they wanted to feature me for their Bump Envy column on their site. At nine months pregnant (and with my negative attitude) the last thing that I wanted to do was be photographed feeling swollen and huge.
But the more I thought about it, the more that I knew that this would be good for me. Getting dressed up and showing off my bump would lift my spirit. It was a time for me to focus on myself and this little guy that has been growing inside of me for the past nine months. It was for us.
So that’s just what I did. And it was exactly what I needed.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way the Bump Envy feature turned out. Not only did the photos turn out amazingly, but it allowed me to share some of my favorite memories and must-haves for this pregnancy. You can check it all out here.
Thank you to the wonderful ladies of Well Rounded NY and to the talented photographer, Desiree Walters, for allowing me to take a step back to feel just how beautiful pregnancy can be!
