One week postpartum!

Ma

What these photos won't tell you:

•My stomach feels like jelly in a stretchy skin bag

•Some of my stretch marks have gotten better but others have gotten worse

•I still can't fit my wedding rings on my finger, I thought the swelling went down quickly but it hasn't for me

•I have grazes so bad that it still stings to pee if I don't bend right over

•My nipples hurt from a slight breeze and get so engorged that my baby can't even latch (my breast pump is my best friend)

•Baby has had to have a bottle of expressed milk a couple of times just because I was too sore to feed, I didn't want to introduce a bottle until at least week 6 😓

•I'm worried my belly button will always stick out and look the way it does now, I want my cute belly button back

•I am absolutely exhausted, I can't explain to level of tired I am

•That this messy, exhausting week has been the best week of my life and I have the most beautiful baby girl 😍
