I haven’t really been following the social media frenzy over the royal baby…
But I have to admit I did google once, “royal baby” to see photos of Kate and baby.
She is such a beautiful and elegant woman..I knew she would just be glowing after baby!
I am excited for her, just as much as any other woman, who has had their first baby.
It’s an amazing experience!! But your body needs time to go back to normal..
and it’s nice seeing everyone talking so positively about this.
A blog friend (a mommy in the city) posted on her facebook a great article
from babble titled “Kate’s Awesomly Normal Post-Birth Belly” HAD TO READ!
Such a great article.. and It made me laugh because just YESTERDAY I had come across a photo I took of myself hours after I gave birth to Micah.
I never shared it…I just wanted it for me!
But seeing how she embraced (on purpose or not) the reality of your body after baby,
by wearing a tighter fitting dress…
It made me want to share my experience!
Sometimes you really aren’t aware of details like this when you
are having a baby for the first time. My face was a weeeee puffy.
Probably from all the ugly screaming in pain. YAYyyyyy. ;)
My belly went in a lot faster with my first two.. that’s for sure.
But nursing really helped it to speed up the process
and contract my uterus back to it’s normal size.
HA..such a torpedo belly!!
One thing I had no clue about when I had a baby…
was leaking milk! I was like WHAT?! haha.
Breast Pads became my best friends. Not sure I want my post-birth photo
DIRECTLY next to kate’s amazing photos haha. But hey, she had a team to
make an already gorgeous girl even more beautiful. It is what it is ;)
I love remembering those first moments holding Micah.
My heart felt so full… and so in shock that I had a boy!
Love the polka dot gowns ;)
Yay for celebrating motherhood and the amazing process of pregnancy and birth.
So happy for them…they look so happy! :)

July 24, 2013 at 8:39 pmOh my gosh, the immediate post baby-belly caught me so off guard with my first! It was so squishy. I guess I figured that the belly just shrank up immediately or something. I know, I was totally naive. lol. But I love the way Kate is flaunting her PP body. Speaks volumes!

July 28, 2013 at 5:17 pmYou looked beautiful post-birth! I wish I looked that good! My hair was in a mess of a pony tail and sticking up all over the place. I’m embarrassed to show anyone those first day pics of me and my daughter.

July 28, 2013 at 8:02 pmWow, you look GORGEOUS after giving birth… There were pictures of me after having Alex, but I learned my lesson with the next three, lol. Only pics of the baby until mommy has had a few days recovery!

August 1, 2013 at 11:03 amI was totally one of the naive ones who thought once you had your baby, your belly disappeared. It’s the kind of thing no one talks about!
