I took this selfie yesterday because I was feeling cute, I liked my outfit and my makeup and I had done my hair too. Looking at it I felt like I recognised myself again and that startled me, I realised that I’m starting slowly to look more like I did before I got pregnant. Not that I’ll ever be the same or look the same or even want to be, but I am noticing that it truly does take a year and a half to two years postpartum to start feeling more like yourself again. I was told this, but didn’t really believe it. I felt like that was way too long and surely it would take less time. Turns out it doesn’t. So if you’re a mama and feeling a bit flat after having your baby, give yourself so much grace and just know you will get there and you’ll take a selfie when you feel like you’re looking cute and you’ll see her (yourself) again ♥️✨
