As most of you know, I had plenty of complaints while I was pregnant. However, I thought that everything would be resolved after the baby came. I discovered today that there are some serious post-pregnancy injustices too.
First - I am having major wardrobe issues! Being pregnant you are forced to buy really expensive and usually unattractive clothing. Then once you have the baby you don't fit into your old clothes yet but your maternity clothes don't fit either!!! As it turns out, after losing the baby weight plus an additional few pounds my old clothes still don't fit right! Things just don't go back to the way they were! And my feet grew!!! None of my shoes fit...Mike keeps asking if I need to lose more weight. Nice.
I did have a small triumph today though when I was able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans! Unfortunately, this is when I discovered my next injustice. When I put on my jeans, I immediately thought about throwing up. I spent in the first 20+ weeks of my pregnancy in those jeans barfing my guts out. Then I thought how glad I was that I kept track of exactly how many times I puked so I could harass my child later in life about all the suffering I did on his behalf. Except that having a baby makes you completely stupid, and I have seriously forgotten the number I meticulously counted for 8 months!!!
