Skinny Bitches

I went out for a catch up lunch with two of my mommy buds. One of the mom's and I are still breastfeeding, either because we're wimps, or martyrs, I haven't decided which yet.

The bi-product of breastfeeding beyond a year, is that I'm skinny now, and I don't really work out. Of course I'm totally weak, and useless too. I can't open a jar of pickles to save my life. I talked about how even though I can fit into my size 25 jeans, I'm not feeling shit hot. My other non-breastfeeding mommy bud told me to shut the fuck up.

I am laughing my ass off reading your blog, because I too am teenier than pre baby in a 27 jean, at 5'8, and eat non stop. I too have the shut the fuck ups, but I can't open a jar of apple sauce and ailments are becoming alarming as because according to God, women hold baby on the side opposite of usable hand. I am a total wimpy, exhausted, need to wean. In fact I am starting to put that thought in motion, @ 15 months, I think is good enough. I am tired of being perfect. I want my boobs back!! (however, I fear getting fat!)

LOL. I'm still breastfeeding and Soleil is aaaaaaaaaaalmost year. Ummmm, why aren't I a skinny bitch? I am weak and useless, but I have a flipping muffin top that could send Jenny Craig into a motivational weight-loss speech-ing frenzy. Ever since I started breastfeeding I've had the MOST insane sugar addiction that I can. not. curb.

Haha! Yeah, not much sympathy, I imagine.

Do pee pushups, Kim. Every time you pee, before you wash your hands, do 10 pushups off the counter (tits to the edge when you lower yourself). You'll have nice arms and shoulders within a week if you keep it up. It works!

Miss seeing you guys! No trip to Van for us this year as we are going to England/France.

Things I Don't Miss About Being Pregnant

Image
I delivered our second daughter Rosalie 3 weeks ago, on November 7th. She was 3 days overdue. Not a huge deal in hindsight, but at the time it was 3 days too long. I had an acupuncture induction session the day before she was born to get things moving. I guess it worked. She came fast, and furious. My first contraction was at 8:45am. I pushed her out at 12:45pm. There wasn't much time for drugs, great for baby, but not for mama. The labour was painful, but the whole time I kept thinking thank god I won't be pregnant  anymore.  This is the list of things I will not miss about being pregnant. Waking up to pee three times a night. Strangers looking at me and saying, "You're ready to pop, eh?". Strangers telling me I was going to have a boy because of how high I was carrying baby. Irregular bowel movements (like I need anything extra taking up space in my belly.) Finding a new stretch mark on my stomach. Having Braxton Hicks, and realizing that the car is p

The journey from my house to my parent’s house is 124 km, includes a ferry ride and takes just over 4 hours. I often treat the ferry voyage as an exclusive cruise through the beautiful clustered display of the Gulf Islands. I like to observe all the homes on the cliff of each island and wonder about their stories. Do people live in those homes all year round? Are they merely vacation homes? If it’s a permanent residence, what do the people do for work? What kind of work is available on the island? Could my parents retire there? It would be a faster trip to see them than going all the way from Coquitlam to Victoria. I love that trip though, especially when it ends with a greeting from my parents who pretend they were not waiting for my arrival the entire time.  There is a sigh of relief that finally I arrived, as I embrace them with a big warm hug. My mom wears the scent of freshly cooked jasmine rice. There is always a meal waiting for me, even when I tell her not to worry and that

She Looks Like Me Too!

I have a beautiful daughter. She is so freakin' cute, I want to cry. So being the narcissist, that I am, it really gets under my skin, I'm being a tad dramatic, that people always say that she looks just like my husband. I admit, he's a good looking man, but the little mouth, the wide round eyes, those are mine. If you look closely at the picture in the background, you'll see me at age 2, sitting in my dad's lap. Eloise looks just like me when I was her age. I'll try to get a copy of that picture on my blog, so you can see for yourself. Would anyone else take offense? Or am I really that vain?
