Well this is a post I really wasn't expecting to write so soon, and definitely not including pictures but here I am. As of Thursday I was 8 weeks post partum and it has went in so quickly and also slowly at the same time. My baby girl Erica is changing everyday and I can't quite believe she was in my tummy, she has just gotten so big, has started smiling and is definitely becoming her own little person. It's the most magical thing seeing her grin uncontrollably at me and Harry every day, I can't quite believe it sometimes that she is our little girl.
As I have said in previous posts throughout my pregnancy I found body image hard to get to grips with and even now I'm still struggling, which you wouldn't think after posting my underwear pictures up on Instagram. But I have been struggling to get to know my new body and get used to my stretch marks, yes I had some from growing in high school but these stretch marks are a lot deeper and more pronounced. I shouldn't let it get to me because with having them I have gained a gorgeous daughter so it shouldn't matter but it does. Since it has only been 8 weeks since I gave birth I am keeping away from exercise and dieting until after new year, this will give my body plenty of time still to recover properly back to my normal self. I am very much looking forward to getting into my gym gear and feeling good about myself again. If any of you have any good youtube videos for easy and quick exercises then please dm me on
Instagram or
Twitter, having a little one is making it hard to have some me time. I am slowly doing small aspects of working out, dancing when Erica is restless so I rock her to lots of different music and also doing some small squats, but I can only manage 5/6 as it can be uncomfortable sometimes with my stitches/scarring from labour. But bring on the new year for a fresh start mind, body and soul.
