Confession: I hate the way I look pregnant

About Me

Hi, I’m Krista.

Strategic communicator and storyteller.

I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

I do. I hate it. So this may be the first and last belly photo you see from me.

I naturally have quite a bit of junk in the trunk and the legs to support it, so when I am pregnant, I just get fat all over. Not to mention, I gained almost 60 lbs with Jakob and close to it with Ella. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like being pregnant, I just hate being fat. I hate elastic waistbands, I hate constantly trying to keep the cleavage PG and I hate looking at myself in the mirror whilst I watch my flat stomach get round and my round buttocks get flat….there, I said it.

All this to say, Christmas cards may not include a photo this year.
