so i measured my waist and hips today for the first time after having the baby and holy cow i am huge. my waist was 29.5 and hips were 38 yikes....i am feeling sad but i am working on problem areas. My baby is three months old and i have a three year old.

i think that my baby is cutting a tooth, i see a little white on his lower gum? Crazy!!

My kids did a number on me, too. Wink  But they are worth it!

Enjoy today!

my waist is still in the 29.5-30 inch range.  And that's down from 32!!!!  it takes sooooo long.

it does take a long time but it is totally worth it!

Yeah, I'm at 29 even at 8.5 months postpartum.

My son got his first tooth at 3 months, 3 weeks. He hasn't gotten a break from teething yet and is up to 6 completely in with 7 and 8 on the way. He's already seen the dentist. Fun times!

Those are my exact measurements, and I haven't even been pregnant.

It's posts like these that make me doubt myself, because I thought I looked pretty good, and didn't think there was anything wrong with those measurements until I read this.Cry

hi salamander, i am so sorry i didn't mean to hurt your feelings! Please ignore my silly post, you are beautiful!!!Foot in mouth

aww it's ok. i was kind having a moment.. one of those days, you know? not your fault at all!

anyway, i'm pretty sure our measurements are pretty average, not "huge" at all....you must've been tiny before you were pregnant to think that! But yeah, don't be so hard on yourself, you just had a baby only 3 months ago for heavens sake! lol. Are those your kids in your profile pic? they're adorable :)

thanks, i was having an i feel fat day yesterday. i really hate "fat" days! yes, those are my babys that i love so much. i love having two sweet boys, temper tantrus and all:)
