Mommy Makeovers. Go For It!

Okay. Okay. Women can be shallow. I admit that. We like to be the hottest ones in the room. And, yes, it is true, we check each other out. Yes, we get dressed to impress other women. We can even be shallow when we should have other things on our minds, like, I don't knooow, PREGNANCY or OUR NEW BORN CHILD!

Okay, so, there are four pregnant chicas at my job (Yes, there is something in the water, and I stopped drinking the water weeks ago). Each one of them has a body issue.

My tits were up here (pulling boobs up) before my last child!"


"My butt is doing something strange!"


"Can you tell that I'm pregnant? I don't wanna look...just...fat!"

And, after the very valid complaining, observations and venting, they all say the same thing.

Hands on hips. "When I pop this kid out." Wagging finger, now. "Well, first, I'm not having another one. But, when I pop this kid out, I'm getting a mommy makeover!"

Trust me. I'm not judging.

Actually, I get it. I can only imagine what it feels like to watch your body change.

WAIT A MINUTE! I can more than imagine. I'm going through it myself. My body ain't like it used to be. Finally, after many years of trying, eating McDonald's cheeseburgers, fries and large Cokes has caught up to me. I'm almost positive that if you dissected one of my jiggly thighs, you'd find french fry particles and bits of beef. So, I get it! Watching your body change is downright scary.

So, what is the point of all my yapping?

My point is, DO YOU, GIRL! Put your body back together. If you can afford a Mommy Makeover, do it! Staple it. Tape it. Sand it down. Rubber cement it. Do what ever it is that you need to do to feel better about YOURSELF.

Damn what your husband thinks. You know other women are checking you out.
