This picture was taken when my daughter was 13 months old and I was actually on my honeymoon. My husband and I were goofing off and taking stupid pictures of each other on the beach, but I happened to really like this picture of myself. I have saved it because I am now 8 months pregnant with my second child, a boy, and I have already gained over 40 pounds! I have always been self-conscious about my body, even battling an eating disorder for 4 years. This picture gives me hope that I might be able to look like this after baby number 2. I worked hard to get back into shape after Savannah was born but I am afraid that with having two children under 2 years old, I might not be able to meet my goal this time. Either way, I know that my husband loves me no matter what. After seeing all the beautiful mothers on this website who are willing to share their stories about their bodies, I wanted to be a part of it. No matter what, as long as I have two healthy babies it doesn’t matter what I look like. I have the rest of my life to work on my body, but my babies will only be young once. I’m going to enjoy them!!!
wow, you look great! im on number 2 as well. did you work out? running? or just diet?
wow you sure bounced back! gorgeous!
Damn you’re a gorgeous woman, in all 3 of those photos. I wouldn’t worry too much about bouncing back, by the sounds of it you have a great little family who loves you a lot.
Wow! Your body is AMAZING! And about losing the weight the second time: I have 2 kids 20 months apart. I put on about 65 pounds with my first and lost 75. I put on 35 with my second and lost 60. Between nursing (if thats what you choose) and taking care of 2 kids, and working out you will lose it in no time! I weigh less now than when I was 18. You have nothing to worry about! You are beautiful and your body is and will be too! And I adore that wedding pic! There is something special about being at your own parents’ wedding :)
