wow! what a weekend. i think i’m still in a little bit of a sugar coma! how about all of you? have you recovered yet from the whirlwind of trick or treaters that haunted your doorstep last night? my little man loved hearing the door bell ring and would race to hand out the treats. by the end of the night he was a candy giving pro. he’d even send them away with a big wave and a “byyyyeee”. at one point he was standing with a fistful of candy in each hand on the doorstep yelling “candy here. got candy”. yes, i dare say it was hard not to see that we were home last night. such a cute little candy advertiser. i think he’s caught the halloween bug, and i absolutely love it!
as for the rest of our halloween activities i’ll have to post those tomorrow because right now it’s time for something to talk about, week 4…

my something to talk about is actually a status that has been circulating facebook:
i read this earlier this week and loved it because i have carried a child within my body. i have been puked on and peed on by said child & my body is definitely not magazine perfect, but that is all okay because i am a mother. i am a mom to one incredible little man.
i must admit almost daily i look at this perfect little human being running around in absolute awe. i can’t believe that i created him, that if it were not for me, he wouldn’t exist. i am speechless & amazed that i carried him for 9 months, that i delivered him and that my body did it all practically seamlessly. i can 100% say i loved the whole process and would do it another ten times.
it literally makes me stop every time i am in this moment of complete amazement and give a prayer of thanks for my body and for all that it can do, stretch marks and all. being able to carry and give birth to a child is the most amazing, strange & incredible experience ever & i wouldn’t trade it for anything.
so my plea to all mother’s out there is rather than stressing out over your jiggly arms, give thanks that those arms daily lift, hug and wipe “nacks” from your little one’s mouth. rather than worrying about potential thunder thighs, give your legs credit for how many times a day they chase your small one around the house. rather than stressing over your stretch marks, give your body credit for carrying and giving birth to the miracle that is your child. yes, we should strive to be healthy and active, but there is a difference between striving to be our best self and freaking out over what we perceive as the negative. do what you can & forget the rest. focus and work toward the positive & eliminate the negative.
the way i see it if our bodies were supposed to always stay like they were when we were in our teens, we wouldn’t have been given the incredible gift of being able to bear children. do i sometimes look at people my age who haven’t had children and their “better” bodies and get a twinge of envy? yes, i do. i wouldn’t be human if i didn’t. the second my little man curls up in my arms though, i feel totally different. absolutely nothing can compare to being a mother & having the experience i’ve had the last almost two years & nine months. nothing. i’ll take stretch marks and a little extra tummy any day since it means i get to spend the rest of my life as ti guy’s mom. there is no greater calling or title in the world in as far as i’m concerned.
