I found this on a website and it was truly one of the most beautiful things I've read since becoming a mother that I had to share.

~The Beauty Love Left Behind. ~

A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn.

One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness.

One for every time you had the hiccups.

One for every dream you dreamed within me.

It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly.

That's OK. It was your home.

It's where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be.

It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it.

To all my Mom friends: Enjoy and embrace the new you. Our lives has changed since having a baby... so why should our bodies be the way they were?
