Hello there!
How’s everyone? I hope you are all doing fine during this coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.
I decided to accept our situation for a while and just simply look at the brighter side. You see, there are a lot of people doing tag challenges, throwback challenges on Facebook or other social media to make themselves busy and positive on the current situation. It’s fun and good to remember the old times when we can go outside and enjoy our days. These days we are forced to stay home to flatten the curve of this deadliest virus spreading all the world.
So I decided to share some of the good times — my pregnancy photo shoot. Truthfully I wasn’t that in the mood to share my belly and changes in my body during those times. But when I came to think of it, I wished I was that enthusiastic to save photos every single month to observe the changes and the beauty of it. Oh well! It’s my first. Now, it’s a lesson. Maybe next time. 🙂 But I am glad I had two photoshoots within nine (9) months.
I will share some of the images when I was 23 weeks pregnant, six months, second trimester. These photos are taken at one of the beautiful beaches in Aruba. It is called Eagle Beach.
23rd week
Under the famous tree called Fofoti. This tree grows on the beach. I always wanted to have a photo under this, thank God it was just perfect time with my little angel inside.
My cousin, CG is my photographer. He encouraged me to do this photoshoot. I am so grateful for him. God bless his heart.
Sitting down and bending down was not that difficult at that moment. I could still do it but slowly. It is a perfect shot. I like this one. I didn’t want to show my belly but I think it’s pretty good to have a clear view of how my bump looks like. Man, exposed!
I have never been confident as I was when I was pregnant. Being a mother (to be <at that moment>) makes you brave in every way. I enjoyed the experience, I enjoyed being pregnant. I enjoyed the photoshoot although I am not that good at posing and modeling.

Pregnancy is beautiful. I hope for the ones who are right now are enjoying the experience, especially the new moms to be.

Wow. Pregnancy.. It was indeed a great experience, but comes after that is far greater, the motherhood chapter. Thanks for this wonderful blog ate. You made me remember those happy days of paglilihi and the feeling of the kicks inside my tummy. Now both of my girls are growing, and I pray that they may both grow in the knowledge and love of God.
