011 – 39w6d(1) – What does Mama look like?

Miranda Hernandez

Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 5:34 PM

Hey little one,

You may wonder what I looked like while I was pregnant. I had some photos taken a few weeks ago, along with Saki and Amy Anne. I think they turned out pretty well. I uploaded them to your google drive, but I also included some of my favorites in this email.

Categories: Before Letters, My Pregnancy with Adrian
Tags: Maternity photos from my pregnancy with Adrian, Amy Anne, Saki, Memories of my pregnancy with Adrian, Love letters to my child, pregnancy 40 weeks

Letters to Adrian are real letters from a mother to her stillborn child. Letters are shared here in periodic batches.
