A Favorite Picture of Myself and Why...
This picture is of Hubster and I at my little sister's wedding. We were actually only dating at this time, but I was 4 months into my pregnancy with Dillan and I was very happy. The picture itself isn't awesome of me, but I love looking at it because it reminds me of all that we had together and where it has taken us.
A couple related, or sort of related, things that this post got me thinking about. First, I have approximately zero photos of me taken by someone else where I looking even partially acceptable. I know my mom and aunts always say that they are in none of the family photos because they are always behind the camera. I didn't realize how true that is. Anything that is worth capturing on "film" is usually noticed and done by me. I will have to make an effort to get into some of these photos so my kids, and someday grandkids (eek!), will remember that I actually did participate in their lives.
And the second thing that this made me think about is my postpartum bod. Even from when I was younger, I don't have many pictures of myself. I was always too self-conscious or something to really pose it up. So now, when I am thinking about getting back into shape and such after the baby (eventually) gets here, there is no "I-want-to-look-like-this-again" picture. I wish I had one as inspiration, but I guess its just as well that I just get healthy and look and feel good instead of measure myself against something. Right??
