A woman’s body + mind go through so much in a lifetime. This pregnancy has been relentless on my body, heart, mind + soul, and in these final days, it’s been physically crippling. What blows me away is how ordinary my situation is for a pregnant woman. My hands are always asleep, or my wrists in extreme pain daily. It’s hard to type. My anxiety has been through the roof for months now. I’ve gained 35 lbs, and that’s watching my intake LOL. I can’t workout beast mode like I used to…hell I can’t even make it around the block to walk Lu without a nap after. Breathing sucks. My feet are so swollen it’s comical + I’m basically living in Birkenstocks + Crocs everyday (no sport mode 😂). Was surprised to find out last week I’ll need to have a planned c-section because the bb is breech (hey, maybe she’ll go on a flipping spree in a week but prob not). Never-ending plot twists. We push ourselves to always produce, be everything to everyone + punish ourselves when we don’t live up to others expectations. But ultimately, it takes a lot to be a woman…a woman of color, a creative, a worker, a lover, a wife, a MOTHER, a HUMAN. Everyday, rinse and repeat with a rare gracious notion or thought for ourselves + what we go through. We are all we have…our families, our relationships, community — keep us going through this adventure we call life. Pregnancy has been one of the hardest + most beautiful challenges. I’ve fallen more in love with my partner because IDK how I could do any of this without his support + love. Watching him evolve, reminds me thats he’s going to be an incredible father. Here we are. At this moment. Doing the best we can. ❤️‍🔥 Thank you for the 📸 @visualritual + @maddiebrady0 for the🤰🏽glam. #pregnancy #pregnancyphotoshoot #preggo #LABaby
