Leah and mommy...

Ever since Leah was born i wanted to do a special session with me, however i never felt like it's a good time for it given that i have put on so much weight during this second pregnancy that i still have to wear my pregnancy clothes as i type this :)But today i got up with a different attitude and decided to go on the other side of the camera despite of the awkwardness that i feel about it. I promised myself not to criticize my body but rather feel lucky and happy that I am perfectly healthy, energetic and strong. As long as all my body parts work, I am thankful to God for the body i have and i have never felt more comfortable in my own skin as i do now. I only hope that my kids will always feel proud of their bodies no matter of their size and shape as long as they eat and stay healthy. I truly believe that human body is the temple of ones soul so I try to respect it by eating mainly foods that positively fuel my body and mind and i try to instill these believes upon my children.

Anyways, i will only have one daughter and i thought this photo shoot will be special for both of us. I wish I had similar pictures with my mom but at the times that i was born, they barely had a black and white film so all i have is just a few photos of myself from my toddlerhood and none from my infancy period. How sad is that? So many times i wish i could just sit on the floor and go through the pictures from my childhood, remembering every single, special moment with my family. This is why i decided it will be different with my kids and so far I am keeping my promise. I always try to keep promises about everything in life and I will always do so no matter what. Anyways, so these pictures are for you Leah, my sweet and wonderful daughter. I am so blessed to have you and Noah in my life.
