Brenna wanted a mix of urban and natural setting for her senior session. So I thought Reston Town Center and Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, Virginia are the perfect locations to do her senior pictures at. Reston Town Center is an outdoor mall that has tons of red bricks, interesting & fun store front designs, a park, and a lot of parking garages. While, Lake Fairfax Park is a huge park that has a huge greenery, a wooden bridge, and of course, a lake.
“I can’t do it anymore!!! It hurts… It hurts a lot!!!” were the words that I said as I was pushing while wearing a mask on July 9th a few minutes before 4:29 PM. Yes, you read that right. I was wearing a mask while I was in labor and as I was pushing. That’s what it was like to give birth during a pandemic.
I know it sounds like a cliche, but believe me when I say that it truly feels like yesterday when we found out we are expecting our third baby. But now, here we are towards the end of my pregnancy. Realizing that I will be giving birth soon has been bittersweet. It has forced me to spend more time with the kids because I know my focus on them will be shifted once the baby is born.
