Point Taken


I'm going to try to be careful not to get too repetitive here. So let's get the usuals out of the way - still pregnant, very little clothing fits, shirt + pants + boots, blah, blah, blah.

Anyhoo.

I guess I could talk about the reality of what's about to happen after I have this baby. I'm one of the few women who does not lose weight until I'm done breastfeeding (I've referred to this before). AND I've gained quite a bit of weight this pregnancy so it's going to take even more time than it did with the other two.

I started this blog postpartum and I think that's part of the reason I'm reluctant to continue this blog and do it again. I really struggle with dressing a body that doesn't seem like my own, and resent spending money on clothes that won't fit once I get back to normal. Plus I already have a photographic record of how awfully frumpy I felt during that year after baby.  What kind of style blog does this sound like? An AWFUL one.

I'm not even sure where I'm going with this. Just thinking "out loud" maybe? Rationalizing my decision to quit a blog I'm attached to? I don't know. . .

Random note: Before I can start getting back into shape after baby I have to work on healing my pregnancy-related diastasis recti and SPD. I'm mentioning this because I'd never heard of either until after I was injured and unknowingly injuring myself further. If you're thinking about getting pregnant or currently pregnant I highly recommend looking into these so you might be able to head it off.

Good luck with birth and these issues sound painful and hope you are feeling better soon. I enjoy your fashion and hope you continue.

I love that coat, I'm so sad its thrifted! This is a great pregnancy outfit. I keep hearing over and over that breast feeding helps you lose weight but like you said that's not the case for everyone.

I hope you continue to blog - I enjoy reading it, but I understand the feeling of not wanting too. I struggled this who pregnancy with should I or should I not post because I have gained quite a bit and don't really like many of the outfits I wear. I am vary of how I'll feel afterwards I'm like you I HATE spending money on clothes I will only wear for a few months.
