Here’s a more polished version that keeps your voice and emotion:
Just about 40 weeks of growing our son, and I still don’t think I’ll ever get over how incredible the female body is.
Growing up as an elite athlete, where so much emphasis was placed on appearance and body aesthetics, it’s been really refreshing to let go and simply allow my body to do what it needs to do.
I’ve actually surprised myself with how well I’ve handled the physical changes mentally. I kept coming back to two things:
1. The changes are inevitable.
2. My body is growing our baby boy without me even having to think about it.
Of course, I’ve had moments where I’ve struggled, but I’ve always been able to pull myself back and remember the bigger picture.
It’s really only been these last few weeks that I’ve felt a little more self-conscious. The extra fluid, sore joints, changes in my face—when you spend most days editing videos and looking at yourself on a screen, it can be easy to pick yourself apart. But every time, I remind myself of what my body is creating, and suddenly none of those things seem quite as important.
I’m so excited to get back to training, moving my body in ways I love, and feeling more like myself again. I’m also really curious to see how my relationship with exercise and my body evolves postpartum.
I can’t wait to bring you all along for this next chapter.
As hard as this pregnancy has been at times, I’d do it over and over again if it meant we got to grow our little family. 🤍
