BH.

i read a blog post yesterday that really spoke to me.

the post was all about post-partum body image, and an alter ego named 'body hater' 

aka 'BH'.

i don't have much to say or add,

other than the fact that if you are a woman who is pregnant, 

a woman who already has a child, 

or a woman who ever wants children in the future,

i suggest you book mark the post for when you might need the reminder.

there is no denying the fact that pregnancy changes your body,

but what i love about the blog post is that it brings out the truth:

pregnancy is suppose to change your body!

your body changes for a reason:

"My body is being molded into a different shape 
so that I can be the best possible caretaker for this child."

today,

 as i get dressed,

i will look in the mirror at the 'tiger stripes' that cover my stomach,

slip into my bigger-than-pre-baby jeans,

avoid stepping on the scale,

and tell BH to get lost.

because being a mom is worth it.

and...

{in the words of 'sweet brown'}

"aint nobody got time for that."
