I think you are all beautiful
A couple of extra pounds doesn't define the spirit we have inside of ourselves. I am 40lbs or 3 stones or so. Heavier than I was before I had Emily. I am proud ( though of course I do admit I would mind loseing a few
) of the extra curves I have. But I have carried four babies in my womb, nursed at lest 36 months of my life, spent countless nights comforting a teething, sick, scared or in need of cuddles babies / child. I have cooked countless meals, cleaned up everything from spilt food to vomit. Done enough laundry to circle the earth twice. I keep a clean house ( well as clean as a house can be with three teenagers and an infant) I have help kiss boo-boo's, healed broken hearts. I have driven more miles than an Indy car driver getting kids to play group, the library, dances, school function, dance lessons, swimming and friends houses.. I think I have earned those extra curves and streach marks. That is the badge that says...Yes, I am a mom
