Baby Body

Two weeks before babies

  I have contemplated writing about this topic for a few days.  The last few days I have been thinking about the changes that have occurred regarding my body.  I was talking to Dallas about this the other day and was honestly feeling sorry for myself.  I just thought about when I was pregnant I had never felt more beautiful and full of life.  Now I do understand that not every pregnant women feels like this, but I did.  Now here we are 12 weeks after these two beautiful little babies have been born and I look at myself and realize that I am in complete mommy mode.  Maybe its the exhaustion or just the sheer fact that I have no time to really worry about how I look, but I don't feel even close to as great as I did when I was pregnant.  

Before Babies

  Everything has seemed to "fall" a little bit, if you know what I mean.  My stomach actually does look like a deflated balloon ( I didn't believe women when they told me this would happen ).  This all being said, I wouldn't change it.  In my life I have never had body image issues and I don't want to start down that road and I understand its been only 3 months since the girls have been born and it takes time for things to "bounce" back.  The funny thing about this whole topic is that as women we are harder on ourselves than others are and to someone just looking at me they would never know or even understand why I feel the way I do.  
  In Farren and Nellie's eyes they just don't care, I am their hero.  That is all that really matters, as long as the girls are thriving (and they are) I just will try to not worry so much about how I look.
