Not Ashamed of My Bump Today!
A few days until second trimester and I have felt so guilty, feeling insecure about looking fat. Why!? I have always had awesome stomach and abs, so losing my favorite part has been tough. I am thankful I have a healthy baby thus far, and that I have a very nice home and husband to support us. Why does looking great mean so much to me? Being a woman in today's era is confusing.
So today I have decided to wear my tight dress and sport the weird "is she fat or pregnant" bump. I wanted to just talk about insecurities we are not supposed to have because we are "so thankful" we are pregnant. But guess what, I am still a woman. A woman that wants to be sexy, a COO of my company, a daring Architect and yes a good mom. I am not ashamed about not always wanting to be a mom either. I can be many things.
I sport the bump, but realize and recognize that I don't feel as sexy as I used to, and that's OK. I will still shave my legs, paint my toes and wear a sexy dress. This is how I cope. I am a person with multi dimensions and I refuse to cave into one category which is Mom. I am much more than that, and that feels amazing.
