Anyway, yesterday was one of those days where two good things happened on the same day. It was Yasmin's birthday. Happy Birthday Yaz! It hurts that I wasn't able to spend the day with her, but we have a great day planned for Saturday, so at least I have that to look forward to. It was also the day that I hit 28 weeks. Third trimester! I never thought I would get this far. I had such a feeling of peace and happiness when I woke up yesterday morning.
Another great thing happened yesterday as well. The photographer that I went to last weekend emailed me a couple of the pictures that she had taken. I still have to wait a couple more weeks for the edited final versions, but I was so happy I got to see at least a couple!
When I hired this photographer I told her about Kaycie and that I wanted the pictures to reflect the fact that I wasn't the naive, happy, pregnant person. That I am all too aware that pregnancy is a hope...a chance, not a promise, of a baby. I also wanted a couple of the pictures to represent more than just myself. I wanted them to represent all women who go through a subsequent pregnancy after a devastating loss. The fear and hope that, all too often, exist simultaneously within us. That is what these two pictures below are of. I think she did a great job.
28 Weeks:
28 weeks 1 day down, 11 weeks 6 days to go.
Keri - it is not nice to make a pregnant lady cry during her lunch. :) Those are amazingly beautiful pictures (which is no surprise given what a beautiful woman you are). What an amazing thing you did with these pictures. And you are right - they capture everything that is in us pregnant-after-loss ladies. All the hopes and fears. These should be the images on all pregnancy after loss websites!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing Keri! Congratulations on hitting the 3rd timester!!
They are beautiful pictures and I think she did a wonderful job of capturing the feeling you wanted.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in the pictures and I can't wait to see the rest of them! :)
