A human being came out of there- it's crazy to think we could look exactly like before in a short time- or any time! Those days are in my near future and I do worry that as beautiful (and kick ass) as I feel pregnant, I will feel as gross or worse- self-loathing afterwards. I didn't know you were feeling this way when I complimented your fb photo the other day- but Ill say it again- I hesitated to post it because I dont WANT "weight" to be a post-partum focus- but lady ya looked hot in the stripes!The Gillefondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469645737985850618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503228091846430388.post-9608440828943044172010-11-19T23:27:44.090-05:002010-11-19T23:27:44.090-05:00I hear ya sister. Even though I have only had one ...I hear ya sister. Even though I have only had one baby and I have even lost most of the weight. I still get that nagging feeling that it isn't good enough. It is annoying but I think it is just how women are programmed. Once we have babies we just have to accept that sometimes we are going to feel fat, that our pants may never fit again because are hips are never going back to normal and even on a good day, something probably isn't exactly how we want it. But it's okay because our kids make all of that confidence shit totally worth it. Everytime I hear someone say something about my weight or I look at the horrid stretch marks on my stomach, I look at Rowan and say this is totally worth having him around. <br /><br />P.S. Even though I know you didn't write this for compliments I still have to tell you that you look awesome for having 3 kids in 4 years, because you deserve to hear it.Lauren VanSicklenoreply@blogger.com
