I have my first post-baby check up today. I am not looking forward to it. I have so enjoyed NOT having to step on a scale for someone else to announce and then type my weight into a computer. And then there is the chance that the Doctor will comment on how much I need to lose, which always makes me feel like a champ afterwards. Do they know that it took me 30 min. to get dressed to come to the appointment? When I put on my sweats and huge button up shirt, which are the only things that fit, I had nightmares of running into
Stacy and Clinton and having a 360 degree mirror pointing out all the reasons that I looked horrible. Then I proceeded to try on all my fat pants, just to find that they too, still did not fit, as well as my maternity pants. Which are tight. Is that even possible? Then I threw myself on the bed and cried for 5 min. Then I realized I was going to be late and ended up back in the sweats, praying that I wouldn't see anybody I knew.
When you are in the final stages of pregnancy, you are so eager to meet the baby, and not be pregnant anymore that you have dreams of being able to bend over and touch your toes, sleep on your stomach (what sleep?), wear your jeans and cute clothes again, all while caring for your newborn. It really isn't like that though is it? If it is for you, then I'm sure I've made some snide remark about you behind your back. Jealousy makes me mean.
So, if I haven't made it clear, I am frustrated with my post-baby body and pounds. Nate tells me to give it time. I am NOT good at giving things time.
Life goes on. And despite having to wear sweats in public, I am grateful that it does.
Speaking of, here are some pictures of our recent trip to the aquarium.

Yea right, you're going to be the one people talk about behind your back because I'm sure it will take you no time to get your bod back...you already look great!! BUT, I know what you mean, not having your body back SUCKS. There is nothing worse than trying on maternity clothes after the baby is born and having them not fit? How is that even possible!!!
Just kiss that new baby eat some ice cream.
here here! eat some ice cream! it's a natural laxative. not that i am advocating that...but crying also burns calories.
i think you look so chic in your big sunglasses. i wanted to comment about them on the graduation post.
You are already out and doing things with three kids? Seriously? I am so impressed. Does sunny weather help motivate you because it's rainy here at 10 and I'm still not dressed.
I can't believe your doc. would dare say something to you about your weight. You look fantastic! Knowing you and your ability to run a million miles, you'll lose it very fast.
Yes, trying to fit into clothes after a baby stinks. Sorry. Hope you feel better.
Pregnancy makes me mean too. I am the girl NO ONE wants to be when they are pregnant, so I know what you mean. It sucks. So like Heidi, I say- eat some ice cream! Preferably something good and chunky. Don't we love chunks in our ice cream? And pour a little milk over it too for good measure.
