it's my party i can cry if i want to..

cry if i want to, cry if i want to, you would cry too if it happened to you... I hate my post pregnancy body the most on Sunday’s... 

Perhaps because

it's the one day of the week that getting pretty really is expected...

It’s a family tradition to parade in your Sunday’s best... From my

youth I was excited about putting on my pretty dresses, with sashes

tied into a perfect bow by my daddy, and going to church with my

family on Sundays... No God doesn't judge me on the basis of how I

look, but i was taught and desire to enter his presence looking my

best... just like I would if I was meeting a country's leader, like

our wonderful President Obama  (Note to readers that I am an Obama

groupie and I love the Lord no apologies)

Or perhaps Sunday’s dress-ups are special to me because it is one of

the few times per week when getting pretty is actually possible...

Most of the week I wear super comfortable gear that probably would

embarrass my little girl if she was older and can be pooped or

vomited on with no worries.. Unfortunately my baby bump is still very

present, which makes clothes look not so flattering... Even with

girdles, sweat wraps, and ultra control panties on people still say

"Congratulations" or whisper to me " r u guys expecting again"...

Please Barbra sing Send in the clowns... Boo hoo:(

i gained a total 25Lbs during my pregnancy, i was really pleased with

my pregnant body.. I was all belly and had no stretch marks at all.,.

the day after my delivery i  was amazed that i had lost  18Lbs, and by

my 6wk check up I was back at my starting weight 128... Way to go me,

although I think most of the weight lost was a result of the breast

feeding...  But my stomach is the only thing that is still

lingering... I think that I have been patient enough, like my mother

asked me to be about this post pregnancy process... She said that it

takes time for your body to shrink back down but come on now my baby

turns 4months tomorrow... (my mom continued the suppose to be comforting convo

by also saying "and u were huge baby... I mean really really bigger

than normal and you had a big ol baby so  it will take a while... Hey

look at me I still got my belly from when I carried u 29yrs ago...

Booooo hooooooo....

The kinda good news is that the main cause of the post prego bulge is

a hernia that developed during delivery... It has to be surgically

removed... Surgery huh... I am so vain that I want to get rid of it

asap to start getting winks and hey shawties again, I also want to

avoid the closet tears, "harmless" questions, and mirror dodging but

surgery now could mean that I would have to stop breastfeeding due to

post surgery meds... Plus The surgeon says I must wait at least 6

months to see if my ab muscles will shrink more.. He said that my

small frame ab muscles were really stretched to make room for mclovey,

thus the sharp internal pains and tender external skin in my stomach

area and the hernia removal will go better if my stomach muscles are

stronger... I know u r thinking like I was - bust out the ab master

machine/DVD but apparently doing ab exercises will harden the hernia

and increase problems.. Booo hooo

Gosh I just want to have my body back... Well at least the look of my

old body back for my own personal happiness since I still share it

with baby Love every 3hrs and my hubby when we don't fall asleep

hahaha no wait boooo hoooo

Please oh please belly go away... Looking fat is one thing but looking

pregnant when you are not is just plain annoying... Booo hooo if this

hernia removal and post surgery workout plan does not work than tummy

tuck here I come... Well here I come after I finish having kids five

years from now boooo hooo

If any other mommies out there is feeling blue about still have a

pregnant belly after delivery, u r not alone, check out this site http://theshapeofamother.com/

Ps sweet baby Love u were and are worth it all... My life and body has been

blessed by carrying you.. I wouldn't traid you for anything, not even

washboard abs

ps when i was trying to find photos to show you how pregnant my stomach still looks i realized that i have primarily been taking headshots since my delivery boooo hoooo
