And I agree…all the pics I’ve seen of your little guy make me think he IS one of the cutest babies ever… And I’m not a baby person!

p.s. Hope you receive your books soon! :)

@ Heather – YAY! So glad someone got it. You must be old like me, haha. And yeah, I’m definitely getting back ‘in shape’, but I’m not sure my actual shape will ever return. I used to have these incredibly narrow ‘little boy’ hips, and now I’ve got a lovely maternal curve going on. I love it so I sure hope it doesn’t change!

@ Neko – Aw thank you, and I have to agree that Mr Waits is the cuteness! =D

About body image stuff, man all I can say is you are not alone. I dont know a single woman who doesn’t have some hang-up, myself included of course. And I know for some women pregnancy can really exacerbate that. But I’m so glad to hear that you’ve come back to a place of loving your body. That’s so important, and you deserve it!

@ Sarah – Tiger Stripes! LOVE IT! And I’m definitely thinking about how to turn this adventure into an article. Hopefully coming soon!

@ erosan – Thanks! =) And yeah, he is a super smiley guy. We are so lucky.

@ kate in sb – Ahhhh, miss you!

@ Saundra – Thanks, and I hear ya girl. My top half has become quite an endeavor to outfit. My ‘bosom-to-body’ ratio is just not made for standard clothing! =D

@ Minna – I love this purse so much! Yellow is my favorite color for accessories. You should start writing on your shirts! Its easy and I so love the look. I’ve done a bit of solid dying (jeans and slips and such) but never specifically with t-shirt dyes. Do you mean like tie-dye?

I need to start making shirts like that… I suck at sewing in general, but I guess I could manage writing on a t-shirt :) Haha. I mean, you can write whatever message you want, guaranteed that no one else has a shirt like that. Plus, it looks so cool. Have you ever tried designing your own t-shirt with special shirt dyes?

xoxoxo

Seriously… does he ever stop smiling?

I got mostly back to my pre-pregnancy shape about the month before I got pregnant again :) It must be the get-pregnant-body!

Clothes are really hard for me-I hate shopping (which is good, money-wise), and since my first son was born, my body became a totally different shape. Even before pregnancy, I seriously shopped for clothes maybe once a year or less. I was already hard to size, and after pregnancy, it was really really difficult! Plus, there really aren’t many places here to do much clothes shopping unless you count places like Target or Kohl’s or the mall… I don’t. I’d love to see you talk more about figuring out how to change your style to suit your new self!
