Since the Grammys, life has been a whirlwind for Samira. The red carpet had been the first time in a long while she'd felt truly glamorous, but as the days passed, the reality of her pregnancy started to weigh more heavily on her. She's just four months along now, and while the initial excitement hasn't faded, the physical and emotional toll is becoming more apparent.
She's exhausted most of the time, her energy sapped by both the growing life inside her and the demands of motherhood. Every morning feels like a battle against nausea, and her once-smooth skin now breaks out in patches as if rebelling against her.
Sadiah, her little boy who used to fit perfectly in her arms, is growing up faster than she can keep up with. It seems like just yesterday he was learning to walk, but now he's outgrowing his clothes at a speed that's almost dizzying. He's started asking more complex questions, making observations that remind her just how quickly he's becoming his own person.
Sometimes, she watches him playing by himself, the way he plays with his toys or mimics the adults around him, and it hits her just how fast time is moving. Her baby isn't a baby anymore; he's growing into a little man, and the thought is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
Samira's pregnancy, meanwhile, is becoming more of a presence in her daily life. She's just past the three-month mark, and while her bump is still relatively small, it's enough to make certain things uncomfortable. Her back aches more often, her feet swell by the end of the day, and her emotions—well, they're all over the place. Some days, she feels on top of the world, glowing and excited for what's to come. But other days, the smallest things can send her spiraling into frustration or tears.
