Imperfection Is Beauty

                                                                                                                                                                 It's 5 am and I just finished nursing my precious daughter. I look at her in awe and in wonder of how she could possibly be mine. It's amazing to think that Heavenly Father trusts me to raise this beautiful girl to help her return to him. Over these last two in a half months I have learned that motherhood is not easy. It has taught me to be selfless and patient. I have struggled since having Aubree with many things, for one I have struggled with my postpartum body. I feel as though I was prepared more for growing my belly then I was for the aftermath. Being left with this saggy, scared skin and an empty belly was scary and sudden. The only comfort I found was holding my daughter in my arms and telling myself it is all worth it. My insecurities left as quick as they came. I soon began to remember how amazing my body is and how I was able to grow another life inside of me; one of the most sacred, precious and challenging things a women is capable of doing. I began to see that I earned my new body, I carried my beautiful Aubree inside of me and am thankful for the body that I have. I am reminded of my strength and all the amazing things that I as a women and now a mother are capable of. I believe I am beautiful and I love my body. Although motherhood is hard, it is the most beautiful journey and I as a mother will do anything for my daughter. I will raise her with love and compassion and will teach her to love all imperfections. <3
