Just the three of us 👶🏻🌙 (& a few lift selfies).
Full circle being back here, the first place we traveled to as a couple and now returning as parents to Zendaya, with her little brother or sister on the way.
Yesterday, as I looked back across the paddocks, I thought to myself that no photo or video could ever truly capture the essence of Forrest and the last four years I’ve been so grateful to have experienced - its beauty, its stillness, and everything it holds for us.
Aaron and I had our first “date” here. It’s where he cut my hair for the first time. Where we spent 80% of our week when I moved back from Sydney. Where we found out we were pregnant with Zendaya, and where we’ve watched her grow and fall in love with the “bok boks.”
Countless wholesome weekends with friends. Salami and passata made by hand. Meals cooked over the fire. Little lambs finding their way into the world. Buzzing bees, hot summer days in the dam, and so many quiet moments in between.
Forrest you will always hold such a special place in my heart. Thank you for all the moments - all those little moments. For all the memories you have given us. 🌳
Firstly, I want to acknowledge anyone who is navigating their own fertility journey. I see you, and I know how hard posts like this can be.
There is so much this photo represents. It’s been another bumpy road to get here, but Baby Ruiz Chan has fought hard to bring us to this halfway mark, and we are so deeply grateful.
I’ve carried a lot of complex emotion during this pregnancy. I’ve been more private, and I’ve often felt uncomfortable of the thought of sharing this pregnancy publicly, not because this journey hasn’t mattered, but because I’m so aware of how fortunate we are to be here at 20 weeks when so many couples are still fighting for the chance to experience their first pregnancy, or to bring their baby earth-side at all.
Our road hasn’t been easy, but I also recognise that others have walked through even deeper hardship. Still, the only story I can truly speak to is my own. And as a wise friend once told me: grief should never be compared - your grief, your story, is yours to carry.
Today, I’m choosing gratitude. For this baby. For this body. For making it this far and for all that is to come. See you in May BRC.
Muma & Papa ✨ It’s been a huge day, a huge year. I’m stronger with you by my side @lifebyaaron and I’m proud of the way we’ve always supported each other through everything life has thrown our way. Here’s to uz. I love you CB ♥️
