Round 2, let’s GO! You may or may not know, but I’m pregnant again and back with some pregnancy-safe workouts for your arms and upper body. (Because hey, they’re my favorite…and let’s face it, the lower body is doomed for the next year).
I can’t help but tear up as I write this, because to me, there is no greater role than the one I have as being a mother. It’s without a doubt, the ultimate badge of pride and the highest-ranked position I can ever assume. That’s why it may not be “so” surprising that one of my biggest ambitions is to be a cheerleader for my daughter.
Postpartum body image is a hard. Anyone feel me? You look in the mirror and see this deflated tire that is now your tummy, dark circles under your eyes, saggy boobs and stretch marks on your thighs (still wondering how that happens since I didn’t carry a baby in my left leg). Are you still looking for the magic key to postpartum weight loss?
Adoption. What an incredible gift; the giving of life, the giving of family, the giving of love. Each year, November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month. Adoption is the reason I am the person that I am today. So here is a little piece of my story…
I’m on the brink, but not quite there yet…
As I quickly approach 30, I’m looking around and getting a little anxious that I’m missing something. I’ve got no plans of babies any time soon. Am I incorrect? Am I missing the motherly gene?
It can be difficult to have complete peace and not worry while you are pregnant. I found myself constantly worrying about everything relating to my unborn child. I would wonder if she was okay in there. Was she getting all that she needed? Was she moving around enough?, etc. I realized how important it was to fully turn my worry and anxiety over to God and allow myself to completely TRUST Him.
