So Inspirational

This is Teresa’s journey to HWBA3C. And while I like birthstories, and read them from time to time, this picture montage of her entire journey has had me sobbing in joy each and every time I watch it.

I showed it to one non-parent friend of mine, who said she was utterly unmoved. I find myself wondering if I’ve changed so much, that this impacts me so hard. Let me know what you all think.

    No you really haven’t changed, but you are a Mom now and you have been though it too. So you rememeber the pain and joy. I still get gushy, it brought tears to my eyes too.

    Thanks for sharing that video. I’m linking that on my blog, too. What inspired me so much is the approach she took with her body. As someone who’s lost 160 pounds, I find her story incredibly inspiring and affirming. It’s amazing what our bodies will do when we treat them with kindness.

    Wonderful! I don’t know that you change that much when you become a parent but you absolutly understand more and appreciate what it all means…
    and what it takes to get there.
