Miracle at 9:02 a.m.
This morning in a fit of frustration over wearing the same old clothes over and over again for the last two months, I decided to go before the self-esteem firing squad once again and try on my favorite prepregnancy jeans.
That's when angels descended with full trumpet fanfare, singing, "We come from the heavens to praise the glory of the buttoned-up Sevens!" They may not fit exactly the way they did nine months ago, but by God, they fit. I'd like to thank my son for being such a good little feeder and, yes, even for being a fussy monkey unless I am bouncing him or walking him around in his sling or stroller. Way to keep Mama burning those calories, Little Bug!
No matter what else happens today, it's a good day.
Hallelujah, amen.

Congratulations!
It's such a good feeling to reaquaint onself with pre-pregnancy clothes. Especially the jeans. Makes you want to don a "hot mama" tshirt.
Ahh yes, I still remember that day after you were born!
Mom
Congratulations! Though I've not had a baby, (and therefore have no excuse - I just like to eat a little too much) I know that feeling! It's the best! You're like Miranda in her "skinny jeans!"
That's awesome, Arin! Congratulations! I can't believe how much weight I lost after Lucas's birth. Breastfeeding does wonders to help with that! :) BTW, I love reading your mom's sweet comments. :) She seems like a nice lady!
Well, it took me a lot longer that you to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans (more than a year). But, hey, you are the woman who looks like a million bucks after LABOR, for godsake. Honey, if motherhood is going to make anyone more goodlooking, it's you! You just keep zippin'!
