Got to see miss larafrankly today. It was nice to have some grown up time after the last two weeks of all babies all the time. Got to see her sweet little boy Archer.

It's weird because Booker and Archer are only six months apart which for anyone over the age of three is such a short time but seeing them side by side like that it was like "WOAH". Booker is going to grow so much over the next six months. I wish he could stay a little squishy forever.

Going to head out to the Farmers Market with the family and see Miss. Lara and baby Archer. I think we are also getting a blanket from Lara's partner in crafts, Elisha today for baby Booker that is so cute.

Got to watch Lego Movie with Lara and family tonight. I knew it was probably going to be great but it was about ten times better than even I thought it would be.

Got to hang out with Kristin yesterday and that was amazing and just got back from hanging out with Lara tonight. It's nice to have good friends when I need them. It's been a trying few days.

Like I'm all for body positive movement and all that great stuff but when directed at mothers people saying "A woman's body changes after pregnancy, you'll never look the way you use to!" 

starts to sound an awful like "just accept the fact that you are now useless to society because you ruined your body with a baby!"

I know TONS of women who look a lot like they did before having a baby and some who look even better (I'm looking at you Kristin) just two years after having a baby.  I know someone who looks almost identical to how they looked before having a baby (Lara you beautiful woman you) and her kid is three months old. Everyone's body is different and generalizing about women's bodies, even mother's bodies, is not very body positive. 

If you can look at your body and say you honestly want to change it, in a healthy way, for you and no one else fucking go for it. Dye your hair, pierce your face, get tattoos, go on a diet, work out every day, eat fucking food you love. Don't let anyone tell you to just give up because your a mom now. Don't let anyone strip you of the things you want and your identity because they can only see you as a mother.

Being a mother should ADD to your life.
