Rumer Willis isn't afraid to bare her soul—or bod.

After all, the actress got candid about her postpartum body three months after giving birth to a baby girl named Louetta with boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.

Sharing a nude selfie on Instagram, the 34-year-old wrote in the caption, "This body of mine made a human from scratch…and she looks and feels a little different now but I am truly in awe everyday when I look at my daughter and see her smile or look at her perfect face and tiny toes and the way her eyes light up when she wakes up in the morning and recognizes my face."

Rumer—who is the oldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore—went on to say how "I spent so many years trying to shape and mold into what I thought was desirable or made me feel good in clothes," but is now content that her curves are "a little softer and rounder and jiggly and different."

"More than ok," she noted, "it's kind of amazing because I grew a person inside of it. This little being that I love with a fierceness and wonder that reaches new levels everyday."

And while she's "still readjusting" to her changing body, Rumer said she'll be happy with "whatever shape it ends up" given "all that it did and continues to do."

"In the ongoing process of transformation, I am grateful for every twist and turn," she wrote. "My breasts, might be bigger and perhaps ever so drifting downward but what a gift and privilege that they can feed and provide nourishment for my Lou. They also make a fantastic pillow while we cosleep. My hips and tummy, now softer and rounder, cradle my daughter in safety, warmth, and love."

The Empire alum added, "The most profound beauty I've ever felt in myself emerges from remembering daily, to not reject these parts of me, but just embrace and give them such deep gratitude."

Rumer has been open about all aspects of her motherhood journey since announcing her pregnancy in December. In fact, the new mom said she was the one who "popped" her own water bag while in labor with Lou.

Recalling how her water did not break even after she dilated from two to eight inches in about an hour, Rumer shared in a June episode of the Informed Pregnancy podcast, "I reached my finger up there, and I'm feeling and it was crazy. I could totally feel this little bag—it feels like a water balloon, but with a bit tougher skin."

Under her midwife's instructions, Rumer said she "popped it" during a contraction, adding that there's even a picture to commemorate the moment.

"I think there's a photo of me and I just have this look of shock and surprise on my face," she shared, adding that giving birth was "the wildest thing."

As she described of the experience, "The most ecstatic, joyful moment of my entire life."
