Everyone warns you about the baby weight when you're pregnant. "Don't worry it just takes time." "Don't be hard on yourself, you just had a baby, you look great!" And you go into it thinking you won't be hard on yourself, you'll give yourself grace, you'll give yourself time to breathe and enjoy your baby. πŸ‘ΆπŸΌ So after having a baby and carrying that extra weight for almost a year, my body and I have some growing to do together and figure out our new normal. Before Jamaica, I did what I could with the time that I had. So did I get back in pre-baby shape before my trip? Hahahahaha hell no. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I was SO happy to find @aerie swim during this journey. When you pair just having a baby with not being comfortable in your skin, it is a HUGE struggle to not only shop, but shop for swimwear of all things. They have swimsuits for all body types and they show REAL bodies! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Am I where I want to be with my body yet? Nope, but I'm giving myself grace to know I'll get there eventually and I'm going to embrace this beautiful body that did a beautiful thing. ❀️ #postbabybody #aeriereal #giveyourselfgrace
