Let's talk about our post-baby bodies. Oh, yes we are!
We all know the drill: Pregnancy is super bizarre. You become even more beautiful. thick hair, amazing skin, and that goddessy glow.

But then! After child birth, suddenly the body you’re left with is entirely foreign to you. Nothing is where it used to be! And, your boobs! What on earth ????? Where did THOSE come from?
Let’s get personal, shall we?
Obviously, you expect certain things will happen to your body. This includes but is not limited to: a wrinkly deflated balloon for an abdomen, boobs the size of cannon balls. Then there is the stuff that catches you entirely off guard. Things like, your feet growing. Or the way certain parts suddenly feel.... different.
My new outtie belly button, which will never look the same again, and the permanently stretched skin on my lower back. Not to mention the complete and total restructuring of my whole body.
At almost 8 months postpartum I weigh 12 lbs. less than my pre-pregnancy weight but, I'm dealing with an entirely new set of proportions. I’ll skip all the rambling and just give you the punch line: My bottom, she is flat. Like a pancake. Where did it go? Could I have pushed my bottom out with my baby? My curves? Gone. I keep expecting them to return from where they've gone (possibly with touristy sunglasses and fanny packs on), but so far.... shoot!
We put up with a lot for what we get out of it in return. We made those babies, can you believe it? Gosh they’re worth it!
Just thinking about it and I’m ready to do it all over again.
What bizarre things happened to your body after your babies left your flesh walls? Let's share our sorrow.
