My mister took these photos of my baby bump on our trip to the west coast. It was a few weeks ago and I can’t believe how much that bump has grown! As this belly grows it is often difficult to feel beautiful or work up the will to step in front of the camera. It’s interesting, when I see others who are pregnant, I always think they are beautiful and adorable. But when it is myself, I just feel extra large. I recently came across this article and it is a lovely reminder of the miracle of life growing within this expanding belly. – Marla
