6 months of you 🤍

Half a year ago, our little Leo decided to come earlier than expected — and from the very beginning, he showed us how strong he is.

I still remember the fear of watching him being taken away the day after he was born.
The hospital room.
The tears.
The words “congenital heart disease” that changed everything in a second.

These past 6 months have been the biggest roller coaster of my life.
Beautiful, exhausting, scary, emotional, and full of love all at once.

Leo is stable now, but our journey is still ongoing.
There is still uncertainty, still follow-up appointments, still moments of fear that quietly live in a mother’s heart.

But through all of it, this little boy keeps teaching me what real love, strength, and resilience truly look like.

Happy 6 months, my sweet Leo 🤍

Dana Point, August ’25 🤍

With Liza, we didn’t have a gender reveal - it just wasn’t something people did back then in Russia.
But I always secretly wanted that moment.
To pause. To gather everyone. To feel the anticipation.

This day meant a lot to me.

🌸 Masha, thank you for helping organize everything ❤️ I miss you so much. It’s still hard that you moved back to Russia.
Somehow we already knew it’s a boy as so many things in blue were easy to find and we couldn’t find pink roses 🙈

🎂.coma Tanya, thank you for the beautiful cake - and for keeping the secret. You were the only one who knew.

📸 Sonya, thank you for capturing this day so naturally. These photos are so special to us.

Thank you to our family and friends ❤️ they were there for us and shared this joy with us!

Some moments are simple.
But they stay with you forever.🤍

This year didn’t unfold the way I imagined.

The most important lesson it offered me was acceptance -
of change, of uncertainty, of life as it is.

These photos were taken just one day before I was hospitalized,
a moment of pregnancy, stillness, and trust
before everything changed.

I’m sharing them now not for content,
but to honor this chapter and everything it carried.

Thank you, 2025,
for teaching me acceptance, strength,
and deep gratitude for life

I’ve been quiet here for a long time.

Not because I had nothing to share - but because life was unfolding in ways that required my full presence.

This year asked me to step away, slow down, and turn inward. Travel, change, pregnancy, deep internal work.

I’m not coming back with conclusions or summaries.
Just with presence.

And a desire to start sharing again, slowly and honestly 🤍
