Dear Me,

I am proud of you today. You did alot today. It may not have been all the things you could’ve done, but you were a better you today than yesterday, and that means alot. You made a healthy breakfast for you and baby this morning. You painted a big part of the new nursery room. You changed baby’s outfit and got out of the house for lunch. You picked up the toys once she went down for a nap. You washed the dishes. You listened to your body needing to rest and took a short nap. You scrubbed the shower. You took a shower and washed your hair. You ate dinner. You folded and put away towels and laundry. You put another load of laundry in to wash. You made the bed. You watched podcasts with dinner instead of binging shows or scrolling on social media. You took dishes to the kitchen. You made a to-do list for tomorrow. You brushed your teeth and moisturized your face and pregnant belly. You did some breathing stretches and now you’re in bed writing this journal.

You are taking steps in the right direction. Even if no one else tells you they are, I am proud of you. And not to brag or anything, but I AM the most important person in your life as I am literally you. We spend 24/7 together and I am grateful I get to spend it with you. I know I have been hard on you lately, but that all is starting to change. You deserve to feel loved and important. You are beyond enough and I am so lucky to get to prove that to you.

Let’s go down this journey of self-love together as we’ve gone through literally every second of our lives together. One day at a time.

Cheers to being better tomorrow than we were today.

I love you always,

You
