“Comparison is the thief of joy”

-Theodore Roosevelt

.

So from the start of my pregnancy I knew when I couldn’t wear the clothes I wore from being pregnant with Brayden that this was going to be a total different ball game. I knew I was carrying differently, my hips moved faster, I popped out sooner, and was “off Center”.

.

We are all human. We all are judgmental. Sometimes we are our own worst critics.

.

At times I kept finding myself comparing to Brayden’s pregnancy and questioning, and expecting, and watching how I was changing, oh yea and comparing myself to others too 🤦🏻‍♀️.

.

It was more often a negative experience and stealing my “goal” of focusing on the Blessing and Joy of my miracle. I caught myself looking for a photo of myself at this stage with Brayden to *again compare* – couldn’t find any (I guess I wasn’t very diligent on progress photos last time -I’m a little better this time) – but that was the moment I realized I was obsessing on comparing.

.

So here I am. More than 1/2 way there. NEW GOAL to work on- my awareness, stop the comparisons, no self-negative talk, & to practice what I preach to others when they get “stuck” in that mindset!
