Take a look at my belly—it still bears the soft roundness from nurturing a 9 lb 3 oz baby for a full 40 weeks. Those stretch marks? They’re a testament to the journey of creating three wonderful human beings. Those swollen fingers? Just a little souvenir from carrying extra fluid while expecting my last child. And that fold between my hip and stomach? It’s a reminder of the incredible experience of bringing life into this world. My first child weighed 8 lbs 10 oz, and my next two were both 9 lbs 3 oz. That little fold didn’t exist before, but it now beautifully symbolizes the 30 months during which I had two hearts beating within me.
Isn’t that baby smiling back at me just amazing? I grew him, loved him, and nurtured him with every fiber of my being. My body has been the foundation for six lives, welcoming three beautiful full-term babies into the world. It has stretched, grown, and sustained each of them, providing the nourishment they needed to thrive into healthy children.
My body has become a canvas, telling the beautiful story of creating three precious little humans. It’s truly remarkable, isn’t it? Never again will I view my body with disdain. I refuse to let the sight of my soft tummy, stretch-marked thighs, or my once-perkier breasts mar my perception. I will not focus on how my underwear digs into my hips. Instead, I choose to see my body with respect and admiration, recognizing it for the magnificent thing it truly is.
After all, I have the incredible ability to grow human beings. What’s your superpower?
