There is a version of her that existed before this moment.
Before the growing belly.
Before the little kicks beneath her hands.
Before the wondering, the waiting, the imagining of a face she hasn’t met yet.
And then, somewhere along the way, she began becoming someone new.
Not less of who she was before — but more.
A little softer in some places.
Stronger in others.
Carrying a love she can’t quite put into words yet, but already knows she would move mountains for.
These days of waiting can feel so ordinary while you’re living them. The tiredness. The stretching. The counting down. The wondering when you’ll finally meet the little person who has already changed so much.
But one day, she’ll look back at photographs like these and remember.
"This was me, before I knew your face.
Before I held you.
Before I knew just how much our lives were about to change."
Just her, carrying the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
