Body after Baby

Yesterday, as I was counting the stretchmarks on my belly trying to decide if they are courtesy of this boy or the one before, I started thinking about body after baby.  I've got it so good right now, this basketball belly is the focal point of my body so I don't have to worry about muffin top, back fat or love handles...but soon that will end. After I birth this biggun' my belly will look like a mostly empty beanbag chair hanging from my torso.  A beanbag with purple and white racing stripes, thats my future...frowny face.


Of course I will be able to work out regularly after the baby is born.....I'll just get up at 3:30am, work out for an hour, be at work at 5am till 1pm and then take care of my 2 boys from 1p until they go to bed....simple, not exhausting at all!  
I shall look like this in no time!



Awe crap, I'm gonna be mushy for the rest of my life.  

There's a cool movement trying to raise awareness of being kinder and embracing your body after you've had a baby,  The 4th trimester Project. Thats nice, but me thinks I will still be a little sad at the state of my body....

Ahhhh, But I have a solution.....I shall wear my baby! 
Until he is 45!


Dont they look so happy?  I'm no Nancy Drew, but I dont think thats her baby....
Look how it covers up all the problem areas for the mom! Although this is a poor example as this "mom" seems pretty fit and not mushy at all. I have one of these Moby wraps and I think I waited too late to strap Callan into it, he would only last about 15 min in it....I think you have to get them used to it early on.  The one I have is lime-ass-look-at-me-green, it was given to me :).  I would prefer a more subtle tone....maybe I can dye it...prob not.

The hubs can wear the baby too!

Pshah right!
My hubs would not be caught DEAD wearing this contraption! 
He is way too tough for that! False advertisement!!!

There is a wrong way to wear your baby, FYI...Never wear a baby facing out
You can really jack up their hips...

 BAD!



Well we took a little detour this morning didnt we?
