(Thank you, breastfeeding) Imagine that in finding a swimsuit. I hear you, girl. It is no fun...but I told myself when I put my swimsuit on the other day (and noticed I had one awesome boob, and one pancake boob) that I am a MOMMY and this body rocks b/c it has birthed a baby and then nourished him a full year. And I wouldn't trade any other body for this!!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301426827771636295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-10450910871935239812011-06-13T16:14:54.586-04:002011-06-13T16:14:54.586-04:00Um...pretty sure I love how transparent this post ...Um...pretty sure I love how transparent this post is because gurrrllll we've all been there! You're right...no matter the size, bathing suit shopping stinks but you just gotta DO IT or sit on the sidelines which is never fun so I'm proud you went ahead and took that plunge. I keep having to laugh at myself becuase the whole nursing and trying to dress yourself while nursing...I mean...it's akward. I just keep reminding myself it's going to seem like a blip in the radar when it's all said and done and I wouldn't trade the rolls and stretchmarks for anything in the world. Amen? Cheers to a summer of fun WITH our girls!Lindsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589176342047346323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-23723994435532545182011-06-13T15:21:07.489-04:002011-06-13T15:21:07.489-04:00Oh sweetie, Believe me I was there.

Love to eat and proud I was finally pregnant equaled many calories. I had nevered dieted in my life but Mom passed on what she was learning in WW and I learned fast. It so wasn't fun but sweetie I promise there is hope. You better believe I gained 23 with your second brother. Not fun but so much easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-74817009780745992742011-06-13T13:48:22.256-04:002011-06-13T13:48:22.256-04:00I totally feel your pain.

It's hard when not only your identity has changed but your body and your wardrobe too. Good for you for sucking it up and getting a suit so you won't have to miss any fun summer moments with your daughter. Good luck getting back to your pre pregnancy weight. If you have any pointers or a grand plan, fill me in!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201800091654794052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-81073779604893537872011-06-13T13:14:25.583-04:002011-06-13T13:14:25.583-04:00Bless your heart Abby!

I found a really great one (that tucks me in nicely AND is stylish) a year or 2 ago at Dillard's in Myrtle Beach. Paid a lot for it too so I could totally relate to your story about the price (not the baby body part though of course - hee hee). At least you have a reason for your body changes... me just old age and gluttony over the years but that's all changing now! ;-) Enjoy your summer swimming with your precious little girl!! xoSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468825001504482205noreply@blogger.com
