[...] feeling is compounded by my recent surgery. You might be surprised to learn that when you have shoulder surgery your legs stop working too, and you can no longer go running. Odd, but then medical science [...]

Hey Jane,
I sent my address to you like about two weeks ago… (said in nasaly, whiny, teenage Valley Girl voice). Also poured my heart out to you in another email. OBviously, your email isn’t getting through. dahlink. Are you getting it from others?is it just blocking me? I have resent so you can look in your spam folder, ‘k?

Hope you’re feeling better, bless your heart.
seriously.
hugs,
toni

OK….seriously….you had me going the whole time. This is my first visit to your blog…I will be back!

There should be a manual that explains the mommy-body to those of us silly enough to believe you could diet, exercise and get your flat tummy back.

Isn’t it funny that, no matter how great a woman looks after child birth…you can still tell she’s had a baby by looking at her tummy?

I’m off to do some crunches.

You really should have asked me before posting my picture on your blog. Jabba… that’s my middle name. I sometimes wish that we could store our babies on the outside in that useless pouch. It might make having only two hands a little easier and would save us from spending so much on that silly bjorn thingy.

Man you had me going right to the end. Great post, and as for your 'mommy' figure, I reckon you wear it like a real trooper. Sire's last blog post..Chastity Belts Are Back In Indonesia

I feel you! But this site has made me feel more than my “motherly body” is normal. http://www.theshapeofamother.com/

I seriously had no clue what childbirth did to your body. I thought it just snapped back into place. I miss my flat stomach so desperately. I too have that creepy mommy-pouch. Great post. the mama bird diaries's last blog post..the hunt

I thought nothing could make my mommy- gut worse- then I hit a ton of ridiculous stress. Guess what happened??! PORK! I gained 30 pounds in a matter of months. The only thing that's made it ebb- slightly- is avoiding sugar like the plague. I hope the progress picks up a bit before summer, as most of my summer clothes are too small for my new waistline.

What a great post! I had considered a breast reduction, but then I saw a video of the surgery - NO THANKS! I am not putting myself thru that just because I want to wear a smaller cup size. Now if I could just quit eating oreos.... Heather's last blog post..200th Post! Ladybug's Birth Story

Brad promised me long ago that when I am done having babies I can have a breast lift. But he never believes me when I tell him I'm done. I long for those days of wearing cute little camisoles without bras once more. I'm going to go from a DD to a C. or maybe a B.5. Memarie Lane's last blog post..Do I get Dental too?

What a great post!! I TOTALLY TOTALLY hear you about our bodies, er... not being exactly the same! The running joke right now is, "So, what's between [photochick's] boobs? Give up? Her belly Button!" Oh, God Bless you for having such a sunny, funny post on 'everyday' cosmetic surgery! Oh, it just cracked me up! I joke with my sis-by-choice that we should just "go get a boob-job" someday. Ya know, like a manicure or something. YEAH RIGHT! I'm so glad you share my sense of humor! Much love to you & yours, God Bless, and Happy frump Fighting!

Some lines out of my journal describing how I felt about my body after pregnancy: "It's kind of like opening a piece of gum, chewing it until it's lost its flavor, and wrapping it back up in the original wrapper. Everything is still there, but it's all mashed up and not as flavorful. " I think if someone had offered me a Mommy Makeover three weeks after giving birth, I would have accepted it in a heartbeat. If someone offered me one now, it would probably take me a couple of days to accept. Carolina's last blog post..Classic Texts, Part I: A Brave New World

I just wish I had KNOWN that women's bodies looked the way they look after having children. I wish it hadn't been such a SECRET that nearly every woman who's had children will have Magda boobs (Something about Mary) at an early age, and that It IS OK!! Hope your shoulder's feeling ok... tracey's last blog post..Review on Parenting, Inc.

I love it! I can hear you saying all these thing yourself, sarcasm dripping. Hard to translate that to the written word sometimes, but you've done a fabulous job. If it weren't for that dang anesthesia I'd totally do cosmetic surgery. Oh, and the pain. But not the money - 'cause I'm rich. tarable's last blog post..Fighting the Home Frump
