My mommy body


I've noticed a lot of people starting to over-haul their bodies. It's become a huge fad to exercise and eat healthy. I have been apart of that fad for years it feels. But 4 pregnancies later I have decided that I am going to LOVE my body...or die trying.


I have stretch marks, cellulite, bumps, lumps, and CURVES. I am a MOMMY. I do have a lot to not Love about my body, but here are things I have done with my amazing body.



I have carried and given birth to 3 babies! I have gained and lost 52lbs with each pregnancy. I have breast fed and pumped for 2 babies collectively for a little over 2 years and am still going at it. I have worn my babies strapped to my chest while I did household chores. I have lifted, carried, and held. To me that's pretty amazing! I have never and will never look like a super model or celebrity. And I am okay with that.

My sweet 3 year old doesn't like to snuggle with daddy because, "He isn't squishy like mommy". I don't take that as an insult. I am proud that my little guy finds comfort snuggled in my arms. I would hate to take that away from him.

I like exercising, eating healthy, and buying cute clothes. I will always love those things. But I am really learning to love my new mommy body and all the things that it has brought to the table.
