I Write What I Feel

I'm nearly two months out from having my daughter and I just feel gross. I feel like I look disgusting, I haven't got used to how my body has changed. I wouldn't mind so much, but I'm getting married next week and I wanted to look nice, not grumpy and exhausted. Just a bit of a rant, but it needed to come out.

Whenever I felt like that about my body post birth, I just looked at my healthy baby and thought, we did good! I will take the body that doesn't look like it used to for their perfect health.

@Fantabulous my baby isn't healthy, sadly, but she is thriving for now. I'll remember that :)
