Contrary to what people know, I am very conscious of my body. And even if I used to be reed thin...I never ever wore a bikini without some swim shorts. Back when my husband was still my boyfriend, he used to tell me it was okay to drop the shorts and just wear the swimsuit. But I never got the confidence.
I guess being a mom changed me, physically and mentally. I kept on showing my husband how the swimsuit fit..he kept insisting not to wear the shorts with it. So I gave in. NO MORE SHORTS. I wasn't totally confident about it. I even let my husband and daughter swim first...not until my daughter cried that I took my robe off and showed the world my mommy hips.
At first I thought, "wala naman akong kilala dito e"
Surprisingly, there was one person.
I was trying to fight the urge to faint...and I was trying to come up with any consolation...and I did.
I told myself to be proud of my body, even just a bit, because I have given birth to a beautiful baby girl. I had to sacrifice my 34-24-32 body for a beautiful baby. Shouldn't I be proud?
Anyway, we took our little Bean swimming for the weekend--her first swim. We also purchased her first swimsuit.
Doesn't she look cute? :)
She went with her daddy first (as I was mustering up the confidence to remove my robe)...then she cried. So I removed my robe (like Superman) and came to the rescue with my mommy powers.
There she is before crying :)
I think she loves the water, since she's always excited during bath time.
She's so happy after her swim!
We even woke up early the next day to swim again.
