I am the HAPPIEST not prego person EVER!

[MamaHen2J&J]

LOL

For "hating" pregnancy so much, I am the happiest post partum person I've ever met! I've been on a high ever since Josiah was born, of course I have my moments of frustration but its sooooo awesome to sleep without pain, bend over, etc. etc. etc...

Today I managed to sew a bella band knock off and my new pouch sling... Stuff I had put off forever bc I just couldn't get motivated!!

Fitting into my pre-prego jeans this morning definitely could be the cause of some of my elation

Hope everyone, even those of you still pregnant are doing GREAT!

Ooh I'm nowhere near that. I'm still up 3 sizes from prepregnancy - I actually thought a wrap skirt might fit me but it has a button and apparently my waist is still around 5 inches larger than it used to be.... Still I am doing great. Mentally I am in SUCH a better place after my great VBAC than I was after having DS (with him it was 4 weeks of stressing about a breech baby followed by a scheduled c-section, which was a tremendous disappointment). Physically I'm much better too (vaginal birth vs. c/s). I really can't complain. And I sure am enjoying the great home made ice cream we have in our freezer... clearly I'm not too concerned about weight at this point

I'm doing well, too. Pregnancy was just awful for me, we only have 1 belly pic and a few token other photos. I lost 20 pounds after the birth (she is 12 days old), and I can wear pants again! I've been taking my placenta capsules 2X a day and I think they really help. It also helps that my baby is soooooo CUTE and loves being carried in my wrap and pouch.

I'm lovin' having my body back, too. The facial swelling is gone, I can wear my rings, my shoes--my jeans! (altho workin on a slight muffin top, lol) I can bend over--make beds! I feel slender and agile again and not like a big ol' bus! And to be able to be comfortable driving again, too.

(and no more outta control appetite!)

Just this morning I thought, wow, physically, I just about feel back to my normal self, and I so missed her.

[MamaHen2J&J]

Good wording! I totally missed ME too :P

[beanmakes3]

oh, i want to wear real pants, too. I'm in between, but I don't seem to be moving the "pooch" at the front.

I am so enjoying not being pregnant. As I was falling asleep last night, I was thinking I hardly remembered what it was like for her to be inside. But, I don't miss the pelvic grinds, cervix butting, heartburn, etc. I still need some time to get back to normal wrt to my own BMs, and pelvic/core strength.

but, oooohhh, pants would be so nice!

Umm YEAH!! I will just jump up and down (Really up and down like a kiddo And everyone in the family is like What?! I'll smile and say I'm not preggo! Nope in baby bliss instead
