This one is actually harder for me, because I have been constantly evolving after Kayla's death. I don't think I have changed that much on the outside, I can still smile big for a posed picture. And lately, my smiles are genuine. So, I've picked a few "after" pictures.

| Right after Kayla was born |
In the picture above I used to only see sadness and devastation, but today I can look at it and see love and be grateful for those precious moments with my daughter, and the technology that we have to capture them forever.

In this "after" picture I was pregnant with Livia and very scared. We went to Florida and it was very healing for both my husband and I.

This is me today, 17 months after losing Kayla. I'm still trying to figure out who the new me really is, after living in grief and hope and post-loss pregnancy for so long.
Kayla's outfit is so beautiful. The sadness is there in the photos, but the love is what comes through the most.
