Mexican food and pregnancy dont mix

I don't think I have had too many cravings throughout my pregnancy. The biggest craving I have had is Mountain dew voltage. Its the new blue mountain dew that tastes like raspberry's. I was in love with it for months and then I just started drinking regular mountain dew. Taco Bells mountain dew was the best. I know how weird that sounds bc you would think that its just normal mt. dew that you can buy from any store. I am not so sure about this, actually I am almost 100% convinced they have put crack in the mountain dew bc I have been so addicted. Sadly I have not had any mt dew products for over 2 weeks, I am giving my love up so that I wont keep gaining extra unnecessary weight. I still have 2 months left and I am terrified of gaining any more.


Another thing that I have wanted is Mexican food. I love burritos and chips and salsa!! It makes me very happy and I want it all the time. Along with Buffalo Wild Wings chicken wraps which I am also completely obsessed with! So back to the Mexican food...

My husband and I lived in Texas for about 2 years and we were very spoiled when it came to Mexican food bc there are so many amazing authentic restaurants in Texas. I mean there are alot of Mexicans around. So when we moved back we tried the local Mexican restaurants and they didn't even come close to the ones in Texas. It still doesn't keep me away though.


My hubby had the day off yesterday and I have been begging him for weeks to take me out for some Mexican cuisine. He finally caved in and said yes even though he hates the local Mexican restaurants. Of course that made me very happy bc I have been wanting it for so long! So we walk in and I notice that there is no AC on and it is hotter inside than out. It was scorching hot. Probably like 85 or 90 degrees. For a woman who is 7 months pregnant it felt like 100 degree! I was miserable as soon as we took our seats in the last booth all the way in the back. I complained a little to my husband about how hot it was but the complaining got alot worse when they brought out the chips and salsa. The salsa had no flavor and no amount of salt could help it either and the chips were very stale. I begged him to leave bc I wanted out of that place. He wouldn't let me leave bc I had been wanting this for so long and he kept telling me well maybe the food will be better.

So we get our entrees and it was worse than I thought. It was just a plate of nasty beans and rice and my taco were soggy. Everything tasted bad! So we left with me being very unhappy and I am actually surprised I made it home in one piece. I had the worst stomach pains on the way home and I even warned my husband that if he didn't hurry it up he will be sorry. I was sick most of the night and my love for Mexican food is ruined. I guess that just leaves Bdubs for the rest of my pregnancy. Its crazy how much your body changes during pregnancy. I never had a problem eating anything before and now its the complete opposite.

If I eat just a little bit a cheese I am constipated for what feels like a week, if I eat something spicy I am on the toilet the rest of the night. No matter what I eat I have heartburn all day long. It will be a relief when I don't have to worry about it anymore. It doesn't keep me away from my cravings though. Theres not much I have craved but the one things I do crave I eat all the time. I don't want anything else. Its kind of weird bc you would think I would be sick of the same stuff, but I'm not. I am just so irritated at this place for ruining my week to go where I want to go eat. Whats even worse is that my husband kept saying "I told you so" and " we should have had chinese". It was very annoying....

I have a dr apt tomorrow! Cant wait to see how much I have gained in just 2 weeks. Feels like 10 pounds! It's never ending!

Blind Shaving....

So I haven't blogged in a couple days and I guess that because my days are very busy. They consist of laying on the couch and watching TV. I do some minor housework here and there and make it seem like it took me all day to do it when my husband asks. Not that he really cares that hes married to a lazy pregnant woman, but it makes me feel a little bit better.

So today I got some inspiration from my shower for my blog topic. I am warning you now TMI (Too Much Information for all you Internet retards out there). There's not much to hide when it comes to my pregnancy and I have no shame in anything I write. This blog might be a little over the top. If you have ever been pregnant or had a beach ball for a belly then you will understand what I am about to talk about.

So I have been struggling with shaving my legs and for the past 4 weeks I haven't shaved my thighs or my lady parts. After I finish shaving the first part of my legs I am completely exhausted and have to worry about washing my hair. I can't breath while I bend over so that is one reason I am so out of breath every time I take a shower. I decided that it was probably a good idea to try shaving my upper thighs and lady parts today, I figured it might make me look a little more appealing to my husband. I am in desperate need of some love making, but its not fun for either of us bc everything is uncomfortable ( and the thought of little carson being inside me kind of creeps out my husband). So when I started shaving my thighs I realized I cant see a thing down there!! How can you shave when you have no clue what your shaving! The worst part is that its not normal hair growth, I have hair growing everywhere and lots of it! Its bad enough that my stomach has a hair patch now, but do I really need to have extra hair! Ugh. So I honestly didn't feel like I was shaving anything, but the razors kept getting filled up. OH EM GEE!!

It was a horrible experience and needless to say I have one side of a nicely shaved leg and who knows what is going on in the private region. I couldn't see to know what it looked like. I just wonder how I am going to be able to make everything look good down there before the birth. I don't want to deliver my son looking like a woman from the amazon, but i don't want to look like my vagina got into a fight with a lawn mower either!! Why is pregnancy so humiliating. Its bad enough that my woman parts will make there spotlight debut, its even worse that I cant even prepare myself for it. It was a complete struggle today and frankly I am worn out!

At least I was able to paint my toenails. I have even been careful with my pretty pink toes bc I don't want to scratch the paint, there's not way I am going through that long process again!!

I will probably laugh really hard about all the funny and gross things that have happened during my pregnancy later. I am just not sure how I will be able to stand 10 more weeks of this! I will probably turn into a Sasquatch....

(30 weeks) birth plan...

10 weeks to go till my due date!!

I am not officially 30 weeks until tomorrow, but I'm celebrating early because I am a very impatient person. This has been the longest 7 months of my life. I know I have never written about it on here, but my husband served in Iraq twice the first time for about 7 months then the second for 15 and that wait was a piece of cake compared to this!! I am so ready to meet my little boy!

I have a ton to do before he comes. My baby book insists on me having everything done by 36 weeks bc after that he could come at anytime and I should be prepared. I havent even ordered my diaper bag yet or gotten the nursery set up. I am starting to feel just a little stressed. I have made a to do list that I will start first thing Monday morning. I am not sure but I think nesting has kicked in. I just feel so tired I don't want to do anything but my mind is going crazy with every little thing that I need to do before Carson is here.

Also I have heard that its a good idea to write a birthing plan for you and your doctor that way there it no confusion once the time comes. So here is my official birthing plan, it did take alot of thought and I believe this one suits me the best. I actually feel safer knowing I made one

1. Stab me in the back as fast as you can with the epidural :)

2. Get the baby out of me as quick as you can

3. Celebrate! ( i was going to add in with a big tall glass of wine, but I wont be drinking for another 3 or 4 months bc of breast feeding so I will celebrate with wine then!! Or a nice tall vodka and cranberry)


So there you have it hopefully it goes as smooth as I have pictured it. I wonder when the laziness will ware off. I tried to force myself to sleep in, but my body aches to much and I couldn't do that so I enjoy just sitting around not doing anything. Ugh I am a horrible housewife. I need to get some stuff ordered online so I should be doing that soon considering everything I want takes forever to get here!

Can someone build me a time machine? I need September to get here fast!!

A note to my baby boy

Dear Carson,


It seems like my pregnancy journey is almost over and in about 10 weeks you will finally be in my arms! I will then begin my journey into parenthood. So much is happening to me right now and I’m such an emotional mess, but there is one thing that is so definite and completely clear to me… I cannot wait to meet you. I’m so excited to see you for the first time! I wonder what parts of me and what parts of your dad you will have.


From day one of finding out I was pregnant I knew you were a boy! Your daddy thought you were a girl ( you can yell at him later about that one). The day we actually found out if you were a boy or a girl was such an emotional day. Your Daddy and I were so happy to finally call you by name and not "The baby". Saying your name always makes me smile. Even though I knew you were a boy I was still shocked, but not as shocked as your daddy was! Now I couldn't imagine you being anything other than my little boy!

Throughout my pregnancy I have wanted to be able to provide a safe place for you to grow and I know I have done a good job because by the looks of things you are one big boy! That just means your healthy! I want nothing but the best for you. I know that boys don't really like cheesy sentimental moments, but I am 7 months pregnant and like a said before an emotional mess so bare with me!

I just want you to know how much I love you and how much I mean those words when I say them. I wasn’t sure that I would ever really “come around” to saying that before meeting you, but it’s true you are always on my mind. You have no idea how much happiness I feel when you kick the crap out of my stomach. It makes me giggle each time and it’s definitely my favorite part of being pregnant.

I just want you to always be happy and healthy! I know that you are going to complete our lives. I can't wait to see the world through your eyes, watch you grow and hear you giggle! I won't get to ahead of myself because your not even born yet! I promise I will do everything I can to make sure you have the best life. Just know that your mommy loves you so much and you already bring me so much joy and happiness.


See you soon Carson

Love,

Mommy

Jon and Kate will you give it a rest!!??

I was very curious to watch Jon & Kate plus 8 last night because TLC has been showing a commercial excessively ab out how they are to announce some big changes. I had a pretty good idea of what they were going to announce, but I don't have much of a life at the moment so I was totally glued to the television at 9 last night to see what the fuss was about.

They are getting a divorce. Well if the whole freaking world didn't know that already! The weirdest thing is that they said they will take turns living in the house with the children. I thought "well that's strange". Then Kate and Jon both said that the house was the "children's" house and not there's. I think that they are trying to sound like everything they do is for the kids, but last time I checked the 5 year olds didn't need there own home and it shouldn't be called there home. Ugh I cant stand watching this show anymore. It drives me bonkers. I only watched till the divorce announcement. I was tired of them trying to sponsor some children's play house company on the show. That's really what the whole show was about. The kids even wore logo shirts from the company.

I saw a clip on TV that really had me going it was Kate and her kids getting ready for an interview. One of her older twins asked her for a drink of water. I don't think Kate realized the cameras were on the way she was using her bitchy attitude towards her children. So anyways a producer hands her some water and Late take a nice long drink and hands it back. Her daughter even says " your mean, you drank that in front of me" Kate just said be quiet. I was so mad, how childish is that! Would it have been that hard to hand her the bottle of water? Your making her do this stupid interviews!

I did see some things that made me really mad on some magazine cover talking about how Kate spanks her children and shes "abusing" her children. I am a firm believer in discipline there is nothing wrong with a smack on the butt when your child is up to know good. Why is it that people believe that its wrong to do that now after I don't know like centuries of doing it! Parents are way to easy on there children's these days and that is the number on reason we have so many horrible kids in society.

Teenagers these days do whatever they please and there parents feel that they have the right to do so. I will have my own way of parenting and it will be strict enough for my child to be taught right from wrong. I wont do it to be a mean mommy, I will do it bc I love my son and I want him to have the best possible future. Alot of people would agree on my parenting skills. Its always the parents that don't discipline that think its a bad idea. I always wonder if they take a good look at there children to realize that they are the ones that are wrong. I wont be my sons friend I will be his mommy. He will have plenty of friends in his life and he will need guidance from me more than anything.

Well Well Well

I am have been gone for a couple days, but our computer decided it was time to call it quits so we had to get it fixed. Our old computer just couldn't keep up with me blogging! It wanted to die every time I started! I am so happy our new computer is alive and well! Now I can write! So let's see what to write about first!

I feel like I look this big...

Thank the lord that I only have one baby and not 8!!Let the venting begin..

To be honest I don't know whether I should laugh or cry when I look in the mirror every morning. I guess I do both. Pregnancy is a blessing and even though I may look like hell, I feel beautiful. Giving this child life is the most beautiful thing ever. My husband is supportive and sweet. He always tells me I am beautiful and he listens to my complaints. I know deep down he is hoping and praying that one day he will see my youthful honeymoon body again. Yeah, don't think this exists anymore but he can always hope. He would never admit it, but I think all husbands are thinking the same thing. "Please God, let her get back to norm again, but can we keep the new rack?" Just kidding. I love my husband and the way he makes me feel. He holds my hand and lets me cry on his shoulder when nothing fit's anymore. Too bad he doesn't give me a gift certificate to the mall. haha I am to the point now where this monstrous belly is even to big to wear my old sleeping shirts that use to be gigantic on me!! I went to a Dr's apt yesterday, its something I used to love doing because I always love to hear my baby's heartbeat and I like to know everything is going ok. So now I hate it! Let me explain why...

They call my name to go into this little room and I see "it". "It" Has a ton of numbers I like to remind myself that "it" always lies to me and that "it" likes to see me suffer every time I step on it and the numbers used to be low and satisfying. Now the numbers have hit a painful 190. Yes "it" would be the scale. I hate seeing it and I don't dare step on it in my home! I only wait till I go in for a check up so that why I am only depressed for one day a month. Now it will be every 2 weeks that I have to deal with it. I am so said that I have gained so much throughout this pregnancy. Never in a million years did I think I would be 10 pounds from 200. Ugh

Being pregnant sure is a funny little thing. You just don't quite feel yourself. Not only do you cry on demand, but you feel as though your body is being taken over by a little fidgeting alien. I don't think men quite get how it feels to have something constantly trying to claw its way out from the inside. I have my first birthing class tomorrow and I pray that they teach me how not to kill my husband. I am worried that I might during the delivery. My hormones are in full swing and I can turn on someone in just seconds now.

My back is killing me so I guess I am done venting for now. I wonder if my Dr would give me my epidural now?

4th Wedding Anniversary

So yesterday my husband & I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! Were kind of a boring couple and it doesn't take much to satisfy us so we didn't do anything to extreme we ended up going to Ruby Tuesday's which was soooo good! Anyways this was the second anniversary that we have been able to spend together the first two anniversary's the Army kept us apart. I have had a very amazing 4 years with my husband I am excited to see what the future holds for us.

I found out a couple years ago someone has made a list of gifts you were suppose to give on your wedding anniversary. A different gift each year. This year the traditional gift I was suppose to receive was fruit and flowers and my modern gift was an appliance. I did't recieve either one which is fine by me. Its odd that there is actually a list for what you should gived your spouse. Some people probably follow this list. The crazy thing is that it says a diamond is what you should recieve on your 60th!!! I am not waiting that long to recieve a diamond that is for sure!!

The fear knocked on my door & I answered it!

I recently finished my pregnancy book and I have to say the descriptions have thoroughly scared the crap out of me. I am really, really dreading labor. Nothing about it (other than receiving my cute little baby boy) sounds at all pleasant and I don’t understand why Mother Nature has made it so difficult for women to deliver children into this world. You’d think somehow with evolution, our bodies would somehow learn to adjust and there wouldn’t be as much pain involved. Everything involved with having a child is frightful from the beginning to the aftermath.

I probably shouldn’t have read these chapters right before bed because I had hard time falling asleep and sleeping well. I just got really anxious and nervous. For example, I didn’t know that the epidural can give you the shakes and you might feel extremely cold, so the nurse will pile blankets on you. I didn’t know that you’ll bleed for about 4-6 weeks after the labor. I didn’t know that you might have to sit on a pillow for a few days because of how sore you’ll be. Combined with trying to take care of a newborn too? Its bad enough that you have to deal with 9 months of getting out of shape, getting fat, swollen, backaches, leg cramps and being sick to every smell there is in the world.

Now I don’t understand how people can have friends and family in the room with them during labor. Going through the contractions, having random medical personnel poke at you, and right after delivering, the woman’s still recovering — can you imagine how annoying it would be to have these people chatting away like it was nothing?

A friend of mind told me a funny little thing the other day. She said throughout her whole pregnant everyone kept asking "how are you feeling" and "Do you need anything" I get that all the time right now so I understand what she's talking about. Then she delivered her baby and everyone just came in and kept asking "Wheres the baby" and "Hows the baby" She told me she was kind of shocked that she just pushed a baby out and not one person
(other than the hospital staff) asked about how she was. haha she said that's when you realize you are a mommy because its at that moment that everything is about them and you are not in the picture anymore. I have heard alot of people tell me this and I do believe all of them.

I am so ready to have my little one, but why does it have to be so scary. I don't want to hear anyone tell me its not that bad bc for 7 months I have watch a baby story 2 times a day on TLC and it looks pretty bad on there. I cringe when I watch that show, but its something I can't stop watching. Its very interesting to see how different each birth is. I start my birth classes next Thursday and although I am excited to go to the class I am terrified at what I might learn bc that's just one more thing to scare the shit out of me!!

Shannan

Funny picture of the day

I don't think its a disease haha someone doesn't know how to read at this book store!

Is it 40 weeks yet?

I remember when I was about 12 weeks pregnant and I finally stopped having so much nausea and felt more normal. I told everyone that I didnt feel pregnant anymore, which I didnt. I was at that awkward transititioning part of my pregnancy that I know everyone hates! You know what I am talking about, when your old clothes are too tight but maternity clothes are too big. You dont really have a round belly just some chubbiness to your stomach. I did show early, but for some stupid reason I complained that I didnt show early enough. Hmm I guess the hormones really took over my body then bc who complains that they arent big enough??




So now I am 27 weeks pregnant. I feely my baby move every single day. Some days I love it other days I feel like he is digging a tunnel to escape! I am very big and anytime my husband and I go out and see friends or family. I remind them all that I am a miserable, fat, pasty, ready to have this baby pregnant woman!! I dont forget a single complaint thats for sure! I dont want to be the annoying pregnant friend, but its kind of hard when most of your friends are athletic and tan and you have to watch them wear there cute little summer clothes while just that morning you were looking in the plus size section for a swimsuit!!




I want nothing more than to have a healthy baby boy! I want him to be strong and fully developed, BUT I do not want to go past my do date! I am actually dreaming that my Dr says lets induce you early bc this baby is too big! Or he comes out on his own at like 38 or 39 weeks. I know thats horrible of me! I am so tired of being pregnant. The back aches are more frequent and even when I do get a craving I cant even it alot of what I want bc I'm pretty sure theres no room in my belly.

I told my husband to be prepared bc when I am full term we will be doing everything in the book to ge this baby out of me!! The number one thing is lots of sex. I understand I am not very sexy what with my gigantic belly and his son being in there, so I really dont think hes that excited that I will be pouncing on him every chance I get. I will probly have to force it on him, I will do anything to have this baby! Another thing I have heard a hundred times in castrol oil but alot of people tell me including "The Doctors" on tv said that in some cases it could work, but it usually just causes some painful stomach problems and many trips to the bathroom. I am severly afraid of going number 2 in the delivery room so that will be my last hope. I thought I would share the list with all of you! These are some things you can do to help induce labor!

1. Acupressure/Acupuncture - various points can start contractions.
2. Nipple stimulation/breast pump - uses the mother's own oxytocin to stimulate contractions; discontinue if contractions are prolonged or become intense.
3. Castor oil - often mixed with juice or food; this stimulates prostaglandins to contract the uterus (This can have an undesired affect of diarrhea for several hours so use with caution and consult with your doctor or midwife.) F
4. Walking/changing positions frequently - this is one of the least invasive ways to stimulate contractions and can be used during labor if contractions slow down.
5. Herbs - common herbs used are black and blue cohosh or tinctures including these herbs (these are contraindicated for mothers with high blood pressure)
6. Spicy Food - Some mothers say spicy food does the trick possibly because it may also stimulate digestion and thereby increase prostaglandin production to get contractions going.
7. Massage - this is a great way to relax while your massage therapist stimulates trigger points for labor; often when stress hormones are reduced, labor can start more easily.
8. Glass of wine - although there is no evidence that wine stimulates contractions, it can help an anxious mom relax. Bear in mind that any alcohol affects your baby and can be dehydrating. Be sure to take only one glass with dinner and check with your provider before considering this way to start labor. ( I dont think I will be trying the glass of wine haha but everything else seems like good ideas!!)
   
9. Love-making/Intercourse/Orgasm - uses both oxytocin and prostaglandins to stimulate contractions and potentially induce labor. Do not have intercourse if your water has broken.
10. Pineapple is considered to be a labor-inducing food, however there is no research that supports this method beyond women's own stories.

So I guess I wait till 37 weeks comes and this I will be doing everything I can! I have 10 weeks till then and 13 weeks till my due date! I cant wait to meet this little man!

My new obsession!

So for sometime now I have been hearing about this book and movie called Twilight. I really had no desire to read it or watch the movie and so I kept my distance from the psychotic obsessed girls that couldn't get enough of it! I love to read but usually stick to biography's just because I love to learn about other peoples lives! So being the bored pregnant woman that I am I decided what the heck I will jump on the bandwagon and try it out who knows I might like this book....







Well not only do I like this book ( or should I say LOVE!!!) I am completely obsessed. I really have an addiction that surpasses any past addiction I may have had!! I can't stop reading this book. Last night I finally had to stop after 3 hours of reading just because my eyes hurt! I even missed So You Think You Can Dance just to keep reading! I don't know why I am so in love with this book. It could be because I have fantasized briefly about falling in love with a vampire. Secretly I wish my husband was a 108 year old blood sucking man. Ok not really, but it is very intriguing to read about. Its also very romantic. I am a total sucker for romance and never have I thought that saying "your my brand of heroine" would be romantic but last night when Edward told Bella that she was his heroine I got very emotional. It could also be bc I am pregnant, my hormones are on the fritz.

So I guess I will spend the rest of my days reading the twilight series and watching the movies. I can't get enough of this vampire romance!




So the reason for this post was to explain to you why I missed writing in my blog yesterday! Tomorrow I will be back with a very funny story. One I am excited to write about!

Pregnant Porn Star!

Thursdays are suppose to be my trash talking days where I talk about what craziness is going on in the world of gossip, but I have an issue that I thought I would talk about. Plus I know this will really draw attention to viewers! haha I am not kidding this is a good one.

So I am a very honest person. There's not much that I hide from people. One of the things I choose not to hide is the fact that about a year and 6 months ago I had some breast implants. I had just lost alot of weight and my boobs were suffering. Not too mention I had a hard time fitting them into anything sexy since I suffered from having non identical boobies. My left boob was probably a size bigger than my right boob which made it embarrassing to wear tiny tops without pads. So I went to the magical boob Dr and he turned them into gorgeous identical C-Cup boobies.



So now that I am 27 weeks pregnant I have notice that these gorgeous C-Cup boobies have turned into gigantic porn star boobies that are probably double D's. Now your all probably thinking "Her husband is a lucky man". Your all very wrong. These ginormous porn star boobs would be wonderful if they weren't tender to every touch! Anyone who has experienced pregnancy knows what I am talking about! Also I am scared to even wear a low cut shirt because of how inappropriate it is! It never bothered me before but I don't want to look like a hoochie pregnant momma!!

I read in my baby magazine that my boobs will weigh about 2 pounds each after my pregnancy. So can I just put them on a scale and see how much they weigh? Sounds like something I will have to be doing soon. Not even two years ago I was a little A cup now I am right there behind Dolly Parton.

I guess I should enjoy them while I can, even though I have silicone in there they seem to be agreeing more with the laws of gravity. What goes up must come down right? I guess tomorrow I can talk about the scariest part of my pregnancy so far...My first stretch mark, ugh whats the use in having porn star boobs if you cant even look in the mirror. I definitely wont be in a triple X movie anytime soon!!

Funny way to get caught cheating!

While driving to Walmart yesterday to do some much needed grocery shopping I heard what has to be the funniest and most bizarre story of 2009. So I knew I had to share it with everyone. I have known a few cheaters in my day and no matter who the person or the circumstance I think it is wrong no matter what. If your that unhappy in your relationship then leave that person. There is no reason to do it behind someones back and when they person gets caught I get a good little laugh at there expense. (Don't judge me) So when I heard this story of course I completely lost it. I laughed to hard on the way to the story I actually had to stay in my car when I got there just to wipe all the tears off my face!

Ok so this woman from Texas has 11 months old twins. These twins have alot in common, but the one thing they dont share is a father! So I guess this mother whose name is Mia cheated on her partner. He fling that she has resulted in a one-in-a-million double conception!! One twin is her spouse's son and the other twin is fathers by a different man, but she will not say who this man is. Mia became suspicious bc her twins didn't look much alike so she went and had a DNA test and to her surprise they had different daddy's!! I guess this would have had to happen within a 24-48 times period. This woman should have played the lottery she is beating all the odds.

Is this not the craziest story you have ever heard. I mean she was with two different men around the same time period. The man she had slept with must have seen the news. I understand that she doesn't want to contact him, but he is probably like holy crap I slept with that woman around that time. Unless he was just some no name man she picked up in a bar. She is not releasing that sort of information.

One thing that had me laughing so hard was her statement to the press “Out of all the people in America and all the people in the world, this had to happen to me.” So what she meant to say was I can't believe I got caught cheating. Haha, Her boyfriend or spouse whatever he is says he will raise both boys just like they are both his. I guess that is good. I still can't get over how crazy this story is and I am sure it will happen again.

What a way to get caught cheating!

The Belly Bandit?

So in my quest to find a way to hide the post-pregnancy belly I came across a device that "claims" to help you get your old belly back sooner than expected. I have to admit I am a sucker for anything that claims to give me an amazing bod without doing alot of work. I will work out after I have my little one but its the first couple weeks I dread. For 6 weeks you can't do much and I don't want to walk around with a flabby belly. Lord knows I will not be wearing my pre-baby jeans home from the hospital. I have gained over 30 pounds during this pregnancy and I wasn't at my best weight to begin with.


So I came across the Belly bandit. It does sound to good to be true. The company says that "The Belly Bandit is an abdominal compression binder designed to help you get your body back to its former fabulousness post childbirth." I have came across some reviews on the belly bandit, not really the greatest reviews but some are very hopeful of the product and even say they have been more confident since childbirth.

The draw back is it is a little pricey. I dont really want to blow $45 on something just to be disappointed. Its a tough decision because I also want to finally fit into my own clothes again and look fabulous and sexy. I definitely don't feel it right now. For years people have been trying different ways to get there old belly back faster. I have heard of people wearing corsets, spanx anything and everything that will tighten there body's. So I guess I will have to decide if I want to try it or not. I have 3 months to make the decision.

I am just curious have you tried the belly bandit or a product like it??

Pregnancy Joke of the Day:
