no worse for wear

lastweekLook at this 4 1/2 month old munchkin!
Every day, his face is different. I'm still trying to get a hold on what he looks like.
I'm still trying to get a hold on what I look like. Coming to terms with body image. It's a process. Immediately after his birth, I thought vanity had been blown out of the water. My body was unlike it had ever been, and I figured that was permanent. It wasn't, but I'm still not the same.
I've recently embraced the idea of high-waisted jeans (which, I'll have you know, are NOT the same as "mom jeans"). Clinging desperately to my old low rises just left me with a muffin top. The high-waisted ones tuck everything in, flatten the tum, can be disguised with long tops. I have no complaints so far.
And I fit into a size 4! Despite those nagging 15 (or however many) leftover pounds. Who knew? I wish I could remember what my measurements were before I was pregnant. Something like: 33" bust, 26" waist, 34" hips? My measurements now: 36 1/2" bust, 30" waist, 36" hips. Plus a slight tummy. I'd like my waist back, but otherwise, things aren't so bad. Vive la vanité.
