I've NEVER been so overwhelmed, or thought less of myself than I do right now in life. The overwhelmed part gets easier everyday, the liking myself part won't get better for a while, but I have to remember....
these bags under my eyes are worth getting up most of the night every night
this spare tire + muffin top + saggy girls + saddle bags + droopy butt + cellulite are also worth being able to feed my baby what she should be eating right now
this messy, unorganized, smelly house, and the lack of good homemade meals it puts out right now will all change, and be back to where it was a year ago
I WILL
do crafts with my kids again
I WILL
make dinner at home 6-7 nights a week again (not from a box)
I WILL
have a home that is ok to let anyone in at anytime again
I WILL
get out of stretchy pants and maternity pants to go on dates again
I WILL
allow my picture to be taken again (even if it's a year from now)
I WILL
take all my kids out to do something fun everyday again
I WILL
find time in the morning to work out again
I have a hard time remember that all of these things WILL happen again.. Every week I think, "this is the week I'll have the sleep I need to get in the workouts I want" Or this is the week that I won't have to go pick up Jase in the middle of dinner making time. Or this week I'll put enough make up on and jump in a picture with my girls. But it hasn't happened yet. Soon enough.

I am the same way right now but I have to keep telling myself its temporary. i just went out & bought clothes in.a size i swore i would never be in but wearing regular clothes makes me feel better. nursing is killing my weight loss, but Josie is happy & healthy so chubby for a while it is :) lol. Love ya!

cried reading this! i just keep reminding myself the quote about time. this is what Heavenly Father gave us the time to do. I have talked to two of my friends in the last week, that wished they had had one more kid. they said it was overwhelming at the time, but now they wish they had just done it. 35 is going to be our year...fun girls trip and great bodies. right now we just get to snuggle these cute little ones and the older one will live...i think! nursing is a tough one, i know i will lose the weight if i stopped, but gotta give Charlotte the good stuff. So i will stay fat and happy, just like my babe.
