thanks to everyone for making me feel good about myself. i kinda feel bad about eliciting so many "you look so good" comments but in all honesty, it does make me feel good. so thanks again! to anyone who cares, my 2 secrets that i share freely are body butter and girdles. i am still stretch mark free because this pregnancy i used curel's pregnancy lotion and palmer's tummy butter on a daily basis. i will also be wearing a tight-as-can-be girdle after these babies are born. question it if you want but i did both of these things on the advice of my mother while/after pregnant with miles. i have learned my lesson and listen to my mom. trust me, it works. anyway, here's hoping i get my old body back after these babies. oh! i also firmly believe 9 months in, 9 months out. i don't start to stress about the baby weight being gone until 9 months after. so congrats to those of you who look better than before pregnancy a month later (becky & weedle) or fit into their skinny jeans two months later (kim & jenny) but i'm thinking it will take me at least 9 months (hoping actually).
joel just asked if i'm gonna tie my hips so they go back and the answer is yes. something my japanese family advised on. worked last time.

Hey I agree! I used butter this last pregnancy faithful twice or more a day, and did not get new stretch marks, my other 3 I didn't use it on a regular basis so I have a few under my belly button. I am with you on on the butter!!! I actually heard from my dermatologist that you should use at least a year before you have a baby to get your skin soft so it doesn't over stretch :)
I am totally going to follow your advice when I have a baby. Like I said, you are my pregnancy idol :) Also, what brand girdle do you use (for future reference).
I wish I had this advice before I had my babies!
Glad to know you think I'm right ;)
i wish i would have done this!! I just hit my nine months out (and not pregnant again this time) and although my body has changed its shape a little, my weight is down to what I was at the beginning of my first pregnancy, so good for you for taking your time! and I can't wait to meet those babies!
What???!! No stretch marks lady?? Wow..I will def follow your advice and get some good body butter for when it is my turn. Looking forward to seeing you tonight!
