It is dangerously easy, when you become a mother, to completely lose yourself in the process and the experience. Dangerously easy, because at the end of a long pregnancy, there you have a 5-6-7-8 pound baby who needs every thing you’ve got and then some.

Today I found a little bit more of myself and I’m kind of excited. I ran today (oh, did it hurt) and I ate healthily. I feel more myself today than I have in a very long time.
