Postpartum Clothing: Learn to Hide and Accentuate Properly

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I’m three months postpartum. Tomorrow will mark 15 weeks since LittleBrother made his exit from my body and entered the world as we know it.

The one in which the doctor inspects things, visible and not-so-visible, to make sure that everything is in working order. The visit that brings up a green light in several areas of life. [...]
