Bunny, clothes that fit will make you feel 100% better. I went to the outlets post-baby and bought a few good pieces that I could get a lot of wear out of, without breaking the bank. I had no intention of staying the size I was post-baby, but wearing clothes that fit and flatter your body will make you feel so much better.
You're right. I think I'll buy some skinny jeans,a mid-length skirt, and a few tops that I can mix and match. Now find me some boots
I did exactly the same. I also got a pair of black skinnies in case I went somewhere somewhat dressed up and a couple of pairs of workout crops, sports bras and tanks. So I could lose that weight and still feel cute.
You grew a baby. Be kind to yourself and treat yourself.
This is my general invite for any/all of you to come to the whole life challenge thread and check out the challenge. It's a good way to make positive changes in overall lifestyle and self-care. I'm not selling anything, but it's a great group, and I love doing the challenge.
Also, hi. This is our last week at home before school starts, so we are making the most of it. We're going to roll on over to the pool for the afternoon.
It''s going to be a long day. DD came down with a cold last night and was up multiple times. She kept saying it hurt (pointing her nose and mouth) and asked for medicine. She then slept for about 4 hours and woke up at 5am, but MH stayed with her till he had to go to work at 7 so I could get some sleep. DD is still miserable so we are staying home and of course DS is throwing a fit because he "can't stay home all day."
No, but honestly. It's due to my inability to eat because of baby and emotions. It's unhealthy. Once I get my appetite back I'll blow back up, so I'm just going to enjoy my waistline while it last.
Single parenting a newborn is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Be easy on yourself. Try to take at least 10 minutes for yourself, even if it means sticking earphones in your ears while baby cries. You will feel like a new person, even with just 10 minutes of mommy space.
And of course, any time you need to vent, cry, complain, anything, we are off course here. But I completely get it. Newborns address HARD. Single parenting it only magnifies the challenge. You are doing an amazing job.

This. I used to keep earplugs on the window sill next to the rocker.

My J Crew (outlet) stretch skinny jeans were the first jeans I could wear PP. They are good 10-15lbs either way (lost or gained). I'm finally on the losing end again but anyway they are really flattering. I got a dark pair and regular.

This is where I got mine too. I also love regular Banana's black skinnies.
You know those women that can go to the beach and get perfect waves in their hair and look like a million bucks? Yeah, that's not me. I look like a hot freaking mess.
I just woke up from a cat nap. My arrival at home was delayed by my Uber driver getting pulled over as he picked me up and eventually banned from the airport for one year.

First, he had been speeding. Second, he picked me up in and area where he wasn't supposed to.
Then he told the cop I was his friend while I stood there and stared. He was called a liar and threatened with jail. He admitted to being an uber driver and got a ticket and the ban.
The whole time, I tried to think of a way to politely cancel and call a new car but I felt bad and sat in his front seat while I waited for the resolution.
We made it through Target. Baby napped in the Moby the whole time. Now the boys are eating lunch. ETA and S1 goes back to school soon so this will only get easier, right?
You are basically a superhero to have survived Target with 3 kids, including a newborn!

I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.

Thank you. I make it a point to at least take a long, hot shower everyday. It makes a huge difference. Thankfully DD is a breezy baby. I would've lost my mind by now if she was high maintenance.
