I returned to work at exactly 13 weeks postpartum, and I’ll be honest–I wore maternity jeans the entire week. I rationalized this by not wearing my maternity jeans with the big elastic belly panel, choosing instead to wear my “real waistband” maternity jeans…which are basically just regular jeans but with an elastic waistband.

I was so excited to get family pictures taken for Kate’s 3 month photo shoot! My husband? Not so much. He’s just not a pictures guy. And I’m never further than three feet away from my camera at any given time. You can see how this could cause some friction, right? When I told G

1. The smell of fresh cut grass. Mmmmmmmm. One of my favorite signs of spring! 2. Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Have you seen this show??
