He got the puppy to go swimming several times 😲🐶. May you cherish or find someone who makes you feel safe to swim 🌊 in this mad world, if you're into that kinda lovin' 💝. • #filipino #pinoy #puppy #love #swim #swimming #beach #waves #sun #hawaii #hilo #hilohawaii #water #beach #bluesky #beachday #sunny #sunnyday #clouds #cloudy #nature #sky #life #lavarock

Know what's totally awesome? Burning stuff you don't need 🔥😌. Ever try writing down your fears and burning them? Free therapy by fire. Pregnancy brings up so many new fears. SO MANY. Don't get me started on birth fears either! 🤯 • My partner and I did a ceremony of burning away our fears about pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. As our fears disintegrate like they were never there, I imagine them transmuting into courage like a phoenix rising from the smoke and ashes 🕊. It's an overused but apt metaphor. FEAR LESS. • #fear #fearless #burn #burning #birth #parenthood #courage #pregnant #pregnancy #newmom #newdad #newparents #fears #life #baby

This is something I've heard no pregnant person talk about because they'll get dismissed or looked at as crazy: I didn't want to gain much if any pregnancy weight that wasn't going directly to baby/belly or breasts. I didn't feel I needed the extra pounds, not even in my already large breasts, but I get it,🥛. • Before you call the body shame police 🚨, according to the breakdown of weight gain, what I'm saying isn't far fetched. If the baby weighs in at 7-8 lbs, the remaining distribution is larger breasts: 1-3 lbs, larger uterus: 2 lbs, placenta: 1.5 lbs, amniotic fluid: 2 lbs, increased blood volume: 3-4 lbs, increased fluid volume: 2-3 lbs, and fat stores: 6-8 lbs. Including baby, that's 24.5 to 31 lbs. I don't weigh myself so I can't tell you how much I gained, but you've seen pictures of women where it all went to belly and others gained some on their body. That's just the way it is 🤰🏾. • I feel it's okay to not like how my body looks (and vice versa) right now. I don't hate myself or my pregnancy, but I don't think it's cool to dismiss if a person isn't loving on their pregnant body look. All feelings are ok. It's not necessarily a negative thing, but it's an honest thing. I just look unrecognizable pictorially to myself. When I'm chilling at home, I don't feel I gained weight anywhere much but on my belly nor am I even thinking about it 💁🏾‍♀️. • I might not like the look in some way, but that doesn't mean I don't love my bump or the whole process. I'm not gonna take it down some toxic road. Not being able to be honest is what drives people to do something unhealthy. I have no idea how to take a picture with a bump, but then again, I always took pictures kind of weird because I usually have no idea what to do with my face. So here's an elusive back picture with no bump or face, just my new beach swim top 🤣. • #pregnant #weight #weightgain #pregnancy #pregnantbelly #pregnantbody #newmom #darkskin #blackwomen #jamaican #blackgirlmagic #beach #waves #darkskinwomen #sun #hawaii #hilo #hilohawaii #water #beach #bluesky #beachday #sunny #sunnyday #clouds #cloudy #nature #sky #life #lavarock @thebump #thebump

Took me fivever to write something new. Inspired by my walk yesterday amongst the majestic woods 🌳 infused by flowery aromas 🌹 • #shortstories #write #writing #writer #wordporn #words #spilledink #create #creativity #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writebrained #selfexpression #blackwriters #time #stories #blackwomen #darkskinwomen #fiction #jamaican #blackgirlmagic #jamaicanwriter #writebrained #pregnancy #pregnant #baby #forest

My partner's expanding his already expansive art repertoire with pyrography 🔥. This was just his third (THIRD!!!) attempt, a little family portrait (swipe to see it from the beginning). Maybe I'm biased, but it looks better in person because the fire creates this brown glow you can't really see in a picture 💁🏾‍♀️. • One reason this man inspires me is because he has a constant desire to expand artistically. Gonna be such a good father 😭. He might not wanna take orders yet, but I sure will cue some up in the DMs 🤣 • #woodburning #woodburningart #wood #burning #art #pyrography #pyrographer #woodart #carvingwood #woodart #woodartist #woodburned #pyroart #artist #family #portrait #expand #lumber #recycle #recycledart #meditation #pregnant #pregnancy #pregnantbelly
