I haven't posted in fooooorever and day, so excuse me for just barging back in. But I am need of some ladies who can commiserate with me.
How are you feeling about your body at this point post-baby? I am just depressed over my looks right now. Ugh. Still going with the hair loss, got gray hair...I'm lucky that I've always been a small person so I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight soon after, buuut my clothes don't at all fit the same and I guess my stomach is forever going to look poochy and never flat again. But the worst of it all is my boobs...I used to like my boobs, thought they looked good. Now I'm all lopsided because my baby way prefers one side over the other. And so I spent several month pumping the side he didn't drink from to keep up the supply in that side. Well, I finally gave up the pumping, so now that boob shrank and is saggy and squishy. 
I HATE it. The other boob looks fine at this point because it's still big and firm since it's full of milk, but when I'm done breastfeeding I guess it will be all droopy and sad like the other. Sigh. I'm afraid I'm never going to feel like I look decent ever again. I know, I know...it's vain and it's worth it for my baby...but still, doesn't mean that these body changes don't suck.

I'm in the same boat. I'm still pumping but I know my boobs are going to be saggy once I ween.
I am also hanging onto about 10lbs that needs to go but I can't keep myself motivated long enough, every month I say oh it's fine I just had a baby and then I'm like crap it's one more month gone by, that excuse won't work forever.
My clothes don't fit like they used to and I'm coming to realize it may never happen, but I just ordered a couple new dresses because they cover up the right places and I feel ok in them.
Some day I will enjoy how I look again, some day...
I know it will get better. I just need to eat better and exercise but for some reason it is so hard.
Your DH is so sweet. awwww.
Hey!! Good to hear from you =0)
I hear you. Things are not quite the same... I'm hoping that by losing some weight, I'll be happier but we'll see.
My particular gripe is that I still have acne. Never ever had before in my life. I keep hoping it will clear up, it is improving but slowly...
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."
Yes, it is! That's the song we listen to for cheering ourselves up around my house.
All I have to say about my PP body is, ugh. I still have like 25 pounds to lose and am bad need of a haircut.
I feel your all's pain.
I also down below my pre-pregnancy weight, but none of my clothes fit and I just have...sag. Every where. My boobs, my tummy, my butt. DH says I am dilusional but I keep telling him that it's my body and I know because everything feels different. Clothes are too big, and what really sucks is my boobs can't fit into my pre-pregnancy bras or my pregnancy bras. So once I stop wearing my nursing bras I have to get all new ones. BOO! I just keep telling myself, at least I am below prepregnancy weight. The rest I just need to tone. Now if only I can get the motivation (and the time) to start.........
My Dad told my Mom the same thing....she had five children, two of us came at once, lol. I always dreamed my husband would say the same to me but no such luck......some guys just don't get it, but he has told me sweet things about A and I so I am satisfied, haha.
post bod---eww. That's all I can say. I don't mind the little extra weight so much but being tiny before, small A boobs, and carrying an 8.5lb baby I think she rearranged my body to make room while she was squished inside my belly! I still have not shopped for new clothes, I just sulk around in my baggy sweats and tees. Good luck to everyone though.....keep your chin(s) up....haha, no offense anyone, my joke.
I bought a print off Etsy with the lyrics and it's hanging in DS's nursery.
