thankful#105: having my body back to myself

Don't get me wrong, I loved being pregnant. I loved feeling my babies move and grow. I loved knowing that I had a huge responsibility to do everything in my power to give my babies a healthy start on their lives. I love that being pregnant was one of the first steps in my becoming uber aware of a healthy lifestyle. I also loved nursing - almost everything about it. But it is pretty nice to have my body be just my body for the first time in roughly 4 years. For a long time there I was either growing a human or feeding said human or conscious that I would soon be preparing to grow and feed another human. There are times already that I miss those periods, but it is nice to have my body back to myself. It's nice to be able to wear what I want and not have to worry about whether or not my top will allow me to nurse a baby. It's nice to be able to really workout hard and only have to worry about how to replenish and recover for myself. I still have little humans climbing on me and pulling on me and hanging from me, which I love, and my body has physically changed in many ways, but other than that my body is back to being MY body.
