An hour after giving birth to my first son to exactly 9 days after.

Pregnancy was a breeze for me and luckily flew by but no one ever talked to me about how hard the postpartum time period is. Being a single mom and having to do everything on your own on top of worrying how your changing body looks has taken the biggest toll on my mental health.

I’ve learned to love not only myself but my body through this entire process. Knowing I created life is a love I’ve never experienced and I want to focus on him and THAT rather than to obsess over a flabby new mommy tummy. ❤️

Prayers and thoughts to all new mommy’s who are figuring out this journey - especially if you are on your own. It’s not easy but we all know it’s so worth it.

I do it all for you ❤️
