Trying to be nicer to myself

Brandi

Today I noticed that I was in my feelings all of a sudden and I realized that I've been hard on myself even though I'm literally growing a human. I'm struggling with what my body looks like and scared of growing much bigger. Im also exhausted and the unpregnant me wants to keep pushing because that's always been me, but the baby is saying sit down somewhere. I guess "I drank the Kool aid" and underestimated what a miracle and hard work this is. Yet even in that, it's hard for me to say to myself it's okay to take an extended break or take naps when I need to or to ask for help. I know it's necessary, but it's just tough.
