This is me 5 months after my baby boy was born. I just do not look the same at all . My breast use to be perky and my stomach was less flabby before. Yet, at the end of the day when I look at my body I know its truly a blessing because I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He is so inspiring. Watching him grow every day is amazing. I love this site and how there are many other women out there that have been and are still going through the body changes. The shape of a mother is a beautiful thing and we need to embrace our new selves and no focus on what society tags as beautiful.

Great words!!!
What is it really that society tages as beautiful?? Compter editing?? I beg to differ!
:-) Yes what society tags as beauty is not real beauty. Enjoy being a mother. Your children are more precious than perky breasts or anything like that.
Theres nothing wrong with looking like a women and not a peice of plastic.
Look at you sporting a hot bikini! You look great!! I cant believe thats 5 months out! Way to go! COngrats on your new bundle! They are so worth it! :)
