Four 🍓berry sweet months with this angel of our Four 🍓berry sweet months with this angel of ours 🥰 #itsthedoublechinandcheeksforme #fourmonthsold #LifeWithLiaRose
Lia is about to be 4 months & finally liking her c Lia is about to be 4 months & finally liking her carrier because she can face forward & see the world 🌎 it’s been life changing 😅💯 went golfing today with our close friends who had a baby just 3 months after us! It’s truly been a blessing having friends who are on a similar road timing wise - so thankful for them & for Lia’s life long bestie, Anaya 🙏🏼 Dress (needed to be ironed but like.. who has time for that with a 3 month old? 🤷🏻‍♀️) & sunnies from @revolve , @mymymy @lacademie_ #revolveambassador
Lately I’ve been feeling guilt. Sometimes I as Lately I’ve been feeling guilt. Sometimes I ask my husband to come take Lia because I need a break. But once she’s out of my arms I instantly feel this heart wrenching guilt like I’ve let her down or like I failed her as well as myself ...because ..who would want a break from something they’ve wanted for so long? I then find myself only a few moments later asking for her back. My husband asks; “are you sure?” I nod my head and stretch out my tired arms .. fully knowing that I wasn’t sure.. I wanted some time for myself... but I feel guilt ... it’s sort of becoming this cycle that I can’t get out of & it’s bittersweet because .. I get so many precious moments like these .. but I also haven’t washed my hair in a week 🥴 It’s an odd thing .... this guilt. Any mamas know what I’m talking about? And how did you handle it?
A few days ago It was the first time I shared a bo A few days ago It was the first time I shared a body photo of me on my stories (in the most flattering angle) since I gave birth. I have been wanting to do that for a while now but haven’t had the courage. Told myself I needed to lose some more weight before doing that... because frankly I felt like the odd one out compared to other new moms who ‘snap back’ after 1 month whereas here I am almost 4 months postpartum & still have half the weight I gained left to lose. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy for those moms who’s bodies go back to their old versions so soon after, they are so lucky & I am indeed envious but genuinely happy for them because it’s one less thing to worry about..One less insecurity. I also shared how while I was pregnant many mommies told me not to worry about the weight because it will shed right off when I’m breastfeeding... let me tell you.. happy for ya, but once more, that is not my case 🤷🏻‍♀️. Breastfeeding makes me HUNGRY. Like... giant whale 🐳 hungry. So while yes, I’m burning extra calories, I’m inhaling probably triple the amount 😅 I wasn’t planning on sharing my PP journey here because frankly I’m very self conscious about where I am..but have come to realize from all of your replies after a few insta stories just how important it is to go out of my comfort zone. A few weeks back when things started opening up & I realized we were going to be attending events.. I tried on some of my pre pregnancy clothes on. BIG MISTAKE 😭 absolutely nothing fits this new body of mine. Legit pants won’t go beyond my thighs.. It was devastating... I shed a few tears on Brian’s shoulder & he told me to go buy myself a few nice things for the summer & reminded me of my willpower & strength to get back to my old self if that’s what I wanted. He also reminded me of my beauty...& what my body has given us only 3.5 months ago... So, I did. I dragged my much juicer 🍑 to TJMAXX & bought some pretty summer dresses that made me feel semi confident. & that’s that.. hope this resonates with some of you 🤍 happy to be normalizing a slower snap back journey 😅 #pospartum
