Baby Be Born: Body after Baby

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!
