I packed it all up in rubbermaids yesterday and started bringing out my pre-pregnancy clothing… which, by the way, I have been able to fit since week two post partum. Hard to believe that I lost all the baby weight that quickly, but I really did. I always pictured myself as gaining far too much weight and not being able to lose it. This whole pregnancy, birth and post partum has been one pleasant surprise after another.
I must admit, I was sad to be packing the maternity clothing away. My belly is gone. No more kicks just between Pea and me. I never really had a chance to prepare for that. Although she is here and enriching our lives and making us coo, I still had 4 weeks to prepare for not being pregnant. At least I thought I did.
I know that we will have more children (if the fertility gods stay on our side) and I will be pregnant again but I will never be pregnant with Pea again and that brings a tear to my eyes and lump to my throat.

Hi,
You have a nice blog. A 40-week pregnancy is really just a blip in our whole life time, but the problem with clothing during that time is very painful. Keeping this in mind, two best friends and mother of two children each started http://www.bellybundles.com. We have high quality maternity clothes there and we would like to hear your feedback on our products.
Thanks,
Carina – Maternity clothing at bellybundles
