Salt Lake City, Spring of 1995. I was probably about 30 weeks pregnant with Sierra when this photo was taken. I remember the first time I felt her kick, and how I saw her sucking her thumb in a sonogram. I was blown away at how something so small could be growing inside my belly. Sierra was born not long after this photo. She was premature, and I had some complications in my last trimester, and although she was born a few weeks early was able to take her home within a few days. She has now developed into a strong, and beautiful woman. She will be 24 in three months.
