celebrating motherhood

“Because breasts are normal.

Because using breasts for breastfeeding is normal.

Because stretch marks are normal.

Because body fat is normal.

Because lines are normal.

Because under-eye shadows are normal… particularly after breaking up with sleep.

Because strong arms and big hearts are normal.

Because skin is normal.

Because motherhood is normal.”

this is resonating with my heart more the second time around. my body isn’t “bouncing back” as quickly as it did with gracie and i am OK with that. i’ll take the extra pounds and the imperfections because i have two amazing children that are perfect.
