Pregnancy
My first pregnancy I threw up on and of for four
months...The rest of it was wonderful. Fast forward ten years to my
second pregnancy. ICK! I didn't just throw up...I was ill very
ill for four months. The couch was literally my home, and my first child
put in prayer requests at kids church...she was sure I was dying. Come
to think of it so was I. LOL. When I stopped being sick, I had about
three weeks of peace. Then I began to have back problems, and my pelvic
bones were shifting. PAIN. I was miserable the rest of my pregnancy,
and not too friendly either.
I am not trying to scare you...I promise. I just don't want you to
feel alone if all the stories you ever heard are wonderful. You may not
have a peaches and cream pregnancy.
BUT, it will all be totally worth it when you hold your little bundle of
joy for the first time. I can honestly say that it really was worth
every miserable moment. I would gladly do it all again! She was and is
my precious. Once I brought her home though...I became a complete nut.
But, that's a different story.
God Bless You...and CONGRATULATIONS!

How to Look Beautiful for Your Husband Even After Baby
Is it unreasonable for your husband to want a sexy wife?
What if you just had a baby and it seems like an impossible
task to lose that baby belly? The stress of being a new mom can be
overwhelming without thinking about losing weight and counting
calories. You may be thinking, “He should love me just as I am!”
On one of my Losing Weight After Baby podcasts, I talked about
the husband’s need for an attractive wife. Men are visually stimulated
and it’s very important to them to feel physically attracted to their
spouses. Dr. Willard Harley says it best in his excellent book, His
Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-proof Marriage:
“By calling for a wife to be attractive I mean she should take pains
to look something like the woman her husband married. After all, that
was the woman he fell in love with, not a movie star or some other
fantasy. Does this mean a woman must stay eternally young? Of course
not, but getting older provides no excuse for letting weight creep up
and up, not fixing your hair, and dressing like a bag lady.”
Did you hear that ladies?
Getting older and having a baby is no excuse for:
1. Letting weight creep up and up
2. Not fixing your hair
3. Dressing like a bag lady
How's that for hitting home? The good news is that you are not a
helpless victim. A box of twinkies will not attack you when you wake up.
You can take charge of your health and look your best for your
husband (and yourself too!).
You don't have to spend one hour primping in front of the mirror. Hello,
moms don't have that kind of time! Just take 5-10 minutes to put on
makeup, comb your hair and wear something that flatters your figure (I
know that's a post-pregnancy challenge!).
So how are you doing mom? Do you look like the bride your husband
married? Of course, if you just had a baby, you've gained some
extra pounds and rightfully so! But are you working hard towards getting
that pre-baby body back? To look like the woman in your wedding
pictures?
Today's Action Step: Take out your
wedding album. Look at the photos of you and your husband. Do you look
like that woman he married? Are there changes you need to make to look
attractive for your spouse?
