Re: Of Babies, Bellies, and Streatchmarks.
Congrats on the new addition, enjoy them now, i have a 15yr old a 3 yr old and a 11 month old, they are only little for a little while, soon she will be walking talking and dating before you know it. Anyway yess the sanity returns {about the time they go to college lol}once the baby sleeps in a pattern and you get a good night sleep. Streatch marks, well they fade and you forget, everything is do fresh right now that it can drive you crazy, My OBGYN was great, his line was don't expect a celebrity recovery, we don't get C-sections and tummy tucks at the same time like they do.
sagging boobs wel that is life, sorry but they don't really come back, it is a sign of moomyhood. But the thing to remember when that little bunndle looks up from them and smiles it is all worth it.
I know right now she is feeling very sencitive to all that is happening to her, but she will recover and these things that seem so huge will fade. best of wishes and enjoy that little bundle as much as you can, and love and support her and all will be fine.

PS a little help around the house goes a long way to her feeling better, and lots of attention to her, she is with a baby all day, she need adult company conversation, and physical contact, make time for each other at some point each day, i know it can be difficult but it is much needed for her sanity and well being.
