Lovely Lady Lumps...bumps..and stretch marks..

I hate it when people say I look "healthy", fine when you are pregnant, but not okay when you are 7 months past your second child being born! Part is my fault, I admit, I hate the gym, I would rather be home cooking and eating...I do have days when I look at myself and wonder what the hell has happened, and why don't my size 24's fit anymore!? Cleavage wrinkles, REALLY!? But when I take a step back, and look at my kids, I realize my body has carried and delivered two healthy children and it makes me feel okay (until the next time I have to get dressed). It really is okay that I do not fit into my wedding dress (not even a knee) and it is okay that those size 24's don't fit (or the 27's), if it means I am happy, and have a happy family! Yes, my tummy jiggles and my boobs have quadrupled in size, and I wish I looked like some of those girls that post their bikini pictures on Facebook, but the reality, is, that will never be me! I like eggnog lattes, whipping cream, pasta, french fries....I know the things I shouldn't eat, and I know I could eat a whole lot less, but what fun is that!

All us of mommies have to start being a little nicer to ourselves, embrace ourselves, our lovely lady lumps, bumps and stretch marks (yes stretch marks, I have tons of them)! Admire ourselves, for we have grown human beings, and that takes a lot of work! AND, after theses babies have been born, allow yourself to just be a mom, embrace your child, the gym can wait! It has been waiting for me for almost 3 years, and will probably continue to wait a few more!
