Babies Ruin Bodies - blog

I'm a blubbering idiot after reading this. For someone who thought I'd never have a child of my own, it makes me really think of how lucky I am to have had the chance to carry my own baby. I'm not one to be too concerned about my body. Luckily, my husband likes fat chicks.

I love this...have to share on my FB!

Beautiful, thanks for sharing and cue the tears. She said much more eloquently than I can what I've felt since the moment I found out I was pregnant.

I'm in awe each and every day I had the privilege to create, grow and carry my son. I might never have the chance to be pregnant again and all the bodily changes I went through and am dealing with now I would gladly go through 1000x since those all meant I could be a mother. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I love this so much. It's everything I could not say or write myself. So beautiful. Thank you for posting this. I'm going to print it out and include it in my daughter's scrap book.

What a wise 21 year old! I love this. I am in constant awe that my LO used to be inside me, our bodies are amazing!

A FB friend posted it this morning and I just finished reading it about 3x. It really hit home and glad she was so open about it

Beautiful!

I look at my flabby stomach and stretch marks rather pridefully. I know why they are there. I may never where a two piece swim suit. But they don't bother my H and generally don't bother me.

Ditto.  It's going next to Tina Fey's letter to her daughter.

Yep, I will forever refer to my stretch marks as lightening bolts. The awesomeness of dd could not be contained! Makes her sound like a super hero..lol

I loved those lines. These too:

To her, I hang the moon.She knows my heart. She knew it long before we met.

And she loves me for it.

Thank you. That was cute. Of course my eyes welled up at the end. Boo, hormones. How long can I use that excuse? Lol

My god you guys!!

What a time for me to read these--as I'm holding my sleeping baby on my shoulder and dreading the next time I work (Monday) as it's the first day of daycare and my first week back full time.

Tears.
