I really should be sleeping
Posted in Body Image, Need to lose weight and tagged with Body Image on 06/04/2009 12:30 am by RachaelA late afternoon nap + a blog idea racing through my mind + feeling randy (ew, I have an Uncle Randy) amorous (huh?) horn (not even going to go there, my family reads this for goodness sake) romantic while my husband snores beside me = INSOMNIA.
So here is my random thought (and not the brilliant post still racing in my head).
Sundresses.
Yep, going to invest in sundresses this summer. There is no other way around it. No matter what combination of shorts, jeans, capris, my elastic waistband maternity shorts from last year, or skirts my double stomach screams at people to look at it. Screams. And it is scary.
I have this unfortunate pounch left over from 2 enormous pregnancies and a sad under-the-belly-button stomach that would make a teenage boy gag a little and look away. (Yet another badge of honor fathers deserve yet it goes unnoticed–loving your wife post baby. And that is love. Or denial but both work for me.) And speaking of belly buttons, mine is sadly trapped between the two said stomachs–unrecognizable–and weeping for what it once was.
A sundress however promises not to cut me in two. Sure I might be mistaken for pregnant but I’ll take it, and just tell the dumb schmuck I am due in December–another boy! I know, were blessed.

Hey Congratulations on the baby coming! I am pregnant and due December 4th. I told my husband we are going to better plan the next pregnancy so I can be on maternity leave in the Spring or Summer. But, I am excited! Anyways, I know the feeling about the belly button thing. When I read that I said wow that is just what I was thinking this morning when I got dressed. So off to the store to get some new maternity clothes. Much to my surprise, I didn’t really find much, my boobs are too big for some of the shirts. Oh well, that is the fun of being pregnant. We should design some comfy loose fitting maternity clothes and sell them. LOL
We need to get together.

Well I am a Fatty McFatass too pregnant or not. Whoever said breast feeding makes you lose weight faster is a big liar. LOL.
