To all of my soon to be mom friends and all other moms out there...
Not sure if you all have read my blog post about my post Partum body, but I wanted to give a sort of update. I think it's important for us ladies to be reminded that we need to be happy about our bodies after baby.
With that being said, 7 months after baby, I have never felt sexier or more confident about my body. I know that we usually hear the opposite, and there are such negative connotations when it comes to women and their looks after child birth. I'm not sure what happened, but I feel like a grown ass women now. It wasn't my age or my degree or any of my other life accomplishments, it was my son that made me feel like me. I used to freak when I was pregnant that I would never look the same. It's a natural response. However, I can honestly say that there is something magical about being a mother that will make you feel like you can take on anything, love handles and all. Sure, my stomach isn't as tight as it used to be, but I feel beautiful, and you should too. Be healthy, eat right (which means eating the occasional blizzard I think...), and take care of yourself.
Motherhood, parenthood, all of it rocks. If anyone tells you otherwise then they are doing it wrong. I'm not saying it isn't hard, but difficult is different then bad. Remember that and you will be fine.
Hugs and kisses to my hot mommas.
