Sheepishly grinning..... I have complained maybe once or twice about the amount of dedication it takes to exclusively nurse a newborn!
-----------------------
Bubbie must have been on a roll on Sunday because after eating a "healthy" lunch of Little Ceasar's pizza(Hey! What can I say, they had a coupon for $3.99 large pizza!?), I got up to start cleaning off the table. He looked at my midsection and said, "Mom, do you have a baby?" I realized that he was referring to a baby in my TUMMY, but I wanted to make sure that that WAS what he was talking about, so I asked him "Why do you ask Bubbie?" He continued, "Because, Mom, your belly is getting bigger!"
So, he has slammed me TWICE in one day..... I asked Hubbie, who was in the other room tending to the baby, if he had heard his oldest son's remarks about my mid- region and he had! Smiling, he asked, "So are you going to go for a walk tonight?"
Its not right for me to ALWAYS have a baby so close to Christmas! Christmas cookies are my down fall! Thankfully I only make them once a year!
So, I guess I need to start figuring out how to save the world while nursing a baby and also work off this tummy that my 3 beautiful children have left me with.... before kids I was a size 6..... ahhhh....... I love my kids!

A size 6 is very hard to come by. ESPECIALLY after you've had even just ONE child, let alone 3. It's like once our bodies stretch out that much, they don't want to rebound back the same flat way. :(
I say note all of this, and when your son has a girlfriend, remind him of these comments. LOL
You're beautiful, and that body is proof of life. Pretty cool. And your husband can't say his is! ;)
When nursing Hannah, we were living off one income and I would just wear the uniboob sports bras which were easy to nurse with. Anyway, I guess I wasn't taking care of myself and Aaron suggested (very sweetly) that I should go get fitted for a bra and buy some nice ones. So I went to Victoria's Secret with all 3 kids and told this lady that I wanted to be fitted for a bra, so she pulls out her measureing tape in the middle of the store, wraps it around me (not even tight) and says some incredible number like "you would wear a 56 D and we don't carry your size here, you should check at another store" I know it was in the 50s. Crazy. She was so rude and I was so humiliated and even though I could wear bras at their store and knew it, I walked out almost in tears of self loathing. It was awful, I I have been there. I too had 3 kids in 4 years and am still working on the baby fat. Of course my youngest is 5 and I have no excuse anymore. But I was pregnant or nursing from Jan 2000-August 2005 except for 10 months during which I was sick with my gallbladder and had to have surgery. When I was pregnant, if I got even a little bit hungry I was nauseated, so I ate constantly. And then when you are nursing, you are always hungry. I think I got into the habit of eating all the time. No excuses,but I think that is where this awful habit came from. Good luck. I wouldn't trade any of my kids for a flatter stomach. Your baby is sooo cute. All of them are. Wish we lived close. Karen
thank you thank you THANK YOU for the laugh this morning. I needed it!
SO FUNNY! Leave it to kids to be blunt! I haven't lost all my baby weight, and my youngest is 5!
Ha ha! I must've missed this post earlier. Chandler certainly has a way with words... my favorite Chandler quote lately (after the kids ran the Turkey Trot), "Hey Elliette, how does it feel to have come in last place?" And that is why we love him so much!
You are a super mom, and a wonderful woman! And you're in very good company... we've all had babies recently and all have weight to lose! Let me know anytime you want to go for a walk, or if you'd rather bake up some brownies to eat, that'll be good too! :) (yep, I'm not the best at motivating, sorry)
He is too funny! I love that first story.
