Beautiful post on having a "mom body"

That's beautiful, my preg hormones have me tearing up

I've read it through a couple times and it still makes me tear up. I never had a "bikini body" or anything close to it, but the way my belly sags now and is completely covered with stretchies still makes me sad, and the varicose veins all over my legs look so terrible I'm embarrassed to ever wear shorts, even at home. I love my kids, and of course they are worth it, but it's still hard to accept sometimes.
