THE SHAPE OF A MOTHER

What an amazing site. Having carried almost 14 pounds of baby in my at once (my surrogate twins were 6lbs 14ozs each), I try not to look at myself as "ruined". I try to see those stretch marks and hanging skin as my badge of honor for creating not just two lives, but an entire family. It’s tough to see them that way when I am trying to climb the pole and can’t move an inch LOL. I will get there though…

Yes you will Charilee! I keep meaning to take some pictures oy m stretchmarks for this site. I used to be so embarrassed of the "wounds" left behind by my kids but what opened my eyes was other women at the pool and at the beach with (what was in my original opinion) a lot worse bodies than me and they didnt care. They sported their flab and strecthmarks with pride as they spalshed with their lovely kids in the pool.
That’s when I stopped comparing myself to things that are just unrealistic. I know J-Lo has twins but she probably had a full time dietitcian, nutritionist and trainer at her side for the full (whatever) months she was pregnant. Yeah Angelina Jolies has had like 18 kids but genetics have a say in a lot of things and if I compare myself to my grandma I’m doing pretty damn good (sorry abuela) and even nt compared to anyone I should just be glad that whatever body I have, it’s getting my through everyday life so I can spend one more day with those I love.
