"I'm not really fat, I just keep having babies"
I'm thinking about getting t-shirts printed up. It has quite a ring to it, no?
Lily asked me last week, quite excitedly, if there was another baby in my tummy. When I said no, she responded,"sure looks like it, Mommy."
Thanks, Lil. Love you, babe.
Evan is now 4 months old and I am having a hell of a time with the weight. Impressively, I manage to gain 50+ pounds with each pregnancy, despite puking non-stop for the first trimester. It's actually a medical marvel. I do totally deserve to be suffering now; I did consume enough onion rings, pad thai and nutella to last me well into my 40s. Between the stretch marks, nausea, insomnia/exhaustion, discomfort, stress etc,
it was my (hershey kiss filled) silver lining.
My last pregnancy weight came off easily and I was back into my Seven jeans by the 6 month mark. I could even zip them up standing and breathe! It lasted 8 fleeting months and I was knocked up again.
So, here I go, one more time, buying baby carrots in bulk and not eating a thing past 6 pm.
I'm moody, it sucks, and I am longing for the days of eating without abandon. But, it was fun while it lasted. And I would do it all again...
What I got from those 9 months are certainly worth suffering for, and you really can't beat nutella from a spoon at 3am.
Edited to add:
I love the internet. Now you can buy that shirt I spoke about.
Cool, huh? I sure think so.

Oh do I ever know what you're talking about! There is nothing worse then the start of the post partum diet. It's all so depressing. Nutella, hmmmmmmmmm, how did I never think of Nutella during pregnancy? Genius!
Love,Dawn
I would have spoonful of peanut butter and nutella! Yikes! I'm giving myself 5 years to get it all off ;-)
the t-shirts would be best sellers,i'm sure, but could i still wear one 13 YEARS! after having a baby? my personal weakness was hot fudge banana milkshakes...in my mind it was fruit and calcium!
just you wait, lily, it happens to the best of us...
First, you 're looking great, so by the time the t-shirts are printed, you won't need 'em anymore.
Second, what do you mean you "would do it all again??" That's news to me and my urologist, who is ready to snip, snip.

Thanks, love.
But, I meant- I would eat like a pig the last three times, NOT get pregnant again.
Should have clarified.
Don't be so hard on yourself- your gorgeous. And doing much better than me. I still can't get into pre-baby jeans.
And Cannon is *cough cough* almost two...
And I would buy that t-shirt!
Nutella from a spoon at ANYTIME is well deserved. At least, that's my theory. ;)
Let me know when the t-shirts are printed, I want one!! In my second pregnancy it wasn't just nutella, it was anything that didn't move!! Last time I didn't eat so much (or so I thought) but am still fat and he's ten months now :-) Hoping to be rid of it soon when the weather gets warmer but we'll see.....
