This sounds odd, but thank goodness for these belly pictures every week and a half. It’s a record of a shrinking size that is just noticable with that time gap. I go through phases of realizing that shirts and tops seem a little looser, then feeling like nothing is coming off at all. You can tell what phase yesterday was.
Today is better because Gary took another belly shot and, yup, there’s still that belly.
However, when I compare that belly shot to the last shot, then the previous…there’s a visible trend to smaller-ness. Phew. Another funny side effect of the shrinking belly is that this makes my boobs look bigger and bigger in comparison. Apparently those don’t shrink until you wean, and we’re a long ways away from that because breastfeeding is an awesome experience that I wouldn’t give up for the world. Until it’s time.
The picture was taken right before my run today. It was a good run. I ran 6.5 miles in 52:40. I think this is my quickest post partum run yet. I had to work for it and yes, I still daydreamed about how nice it would feel to be running lighter, but it’s not too bad for 8 weeks post partum. No races in my near future, though. I don’t want to work that hard yet.
Certainly trending in the right direction! I am too now and it feels SO GOOD!!
My BP is coming down at a steady rate now so I’m thinking it’ll be normalized within the next few days and I’ll be able to take Moana out and do something physical. YEA!
Glad you’re getting in some good running. Remy looks so big in that last picture in the running stroller!
I’m with you, I like the breastfeeding, but I can’t wait until my boobs get smaller. I am wearing two sports bras at a time and that isn’t even doing the trick. Why would anyone get giant fake boobs?
This is my own personal experience (and to be honest I really have NO boobs to begin with) BUT I found that the size really went down before I completely weaned her (at a year). With baby #2, they already are getting closer and closer to normal (small) size (at 3 months).
This made me happy….I totally agree, WHY would anyone want those big things on their chest getting in the way on the run??
Your workouts sound great! The weight will come off…you know that. I could do without the boobage, myself. Are you having trouble with any discomfort while running boob-wise? I think I am going to have to double-up on the bras. Even when I walk, it’s uncomfortable. I was a B, now a D.
I’m now a DD+ and, for some reason, the size doesn’t bother me while running unless I focus on it, which I don’t. So long as I wear two bras and a compression top. I won’t cry when they shrink, though.
wow – you look great and that is some pretty fast running! nice….my boobs still have their on and off days but they did really calm down a lot once both of my girls started to eat some solids. i would still give almost anything for smaller boobs though…i was an “h” after lucie was born – didn’t even know that size existed.
