Lost confused and looking for Inspiration - Stage 2

Body Image

Its an accepted fact that most women hate their bodies, or if your like me several parts of their bodies. Other than my boobs, my pet hate was my stomach - I always wanted one of those flat, six pack type bellies, but I was blessed with a rounded kangaroo pouch, not a big wobbly belly, but I've a rounded 'Rubenesk' belly.

However having had my belly stretched over nine months, with a sudden "expulsion" I'm left with a real jelly belly and to add insult to injury stretch marks that could compete with a road map of England.

My clothes that should fit don't fit cause my body shape has changed and I'm slowly having to adjust to this change. I have to admit its hard, there are times when I look at photos of myself and shudder - hence the reason there have been no pics of me and Dylan. I mainly delete them after seeing myself in them - Vain but true!

However it dawned on me last night whilst I sat feeding Dylan that in years to come he might want to look back and see pics of us. Surely he will love me, no matter what I look like - I'm his mommie.

So here it is - the first pic of me and my baby!!!

Mind you she thinks Dylan is beautiful, so she has great taste and shows exemplary judgement!!!
