You hear about all the sleepless nights, the crying babies, but no one tells you much about all the other little and not so little things you will have to face ~ like dressing! Or caring for the various wounds and sore spots you will have. <br /><br /><br />It's hard to be prepared ~ it's taken me three babies to get to this point! And I totally agree, it's really important for new mothers to be able to feel like themselves. You've spent the previous nine months not feeling the least bit like yourself, and now you overwhelmed by all the caring for the new baby. Having that moment of "Oh, I AM still me" can really save a mother's sanity! <br /><br /><br />Wide belts forever!! :DBonita Vearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-68697310469297366002015-03-19T10:06:59.136+11:002015-03-19T10:06:59.136+11:00You are so right Amy, our best accessory is always...You are so right Amy, our best accessory is always a smile ~ but it can be hard to find one when you are feeling insecure.

I know that many of our foremothers hopped pretty much straight back into their corsets and/or girdles and have heard some older ladies say firsthand that doing so "saved" their figures, which makes me wonder why it isn't done more often still nowadays - even if a person just wore those types of foundation garments post baby bump.<br /><br />You look radiantly beautiful here, dear Bonita. <br /><br />♥ JessicaJessica Cangianohttps://www.etsy.com/shop/ChronicallyVintagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-40405419365175051912015-03-18T18:20:02.391+11:002015-03-18T18:20:02.391+11:00It is a time I wish I had thought about more, and ...It is a time I wish I had thought about more, and wish I had known what to expect! I felt drawn to big 50s skirts and wide belts...but I wasn't prepared and didn't have many :(<br /><br />The other thing was that some of my maternity jeans still *fit*, but since they were a style that sat below the bump, they were right on my scar! Another factor I hadn't considered!<br /><br />It is so important to still be able to feel lovely-looking as well as having the amazing little bundle to cuddle. Feeling at least a bit like yourself is very necessary. You look beautiful and I'm so glad you are back to the outfit posts already and tackling these areas that others don't seem to discuss.<br /><br />For next time, I am going to start stockpiling a mountainous heap of all the wide belts I can find...Tanithhttp://tanithrowan.blogpost.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-2827467325655728232015-03-18T14:50:12.780+11:002015-03-18T14:50:12.780+11:00Not only do you look beautiful here, you also look...Not only do you look beautiful here, you also look happy! I think we get so caught up in judging our bodies, we forget how the greatest accessory one can wear is a smile. <br /><br />Your advice was very helpful too ~ although, I am far from having a baby of my own. I am happy to read honest posts like this. I am sure there are many new mothers who lack inspiration and confidence in themselves. A post like this can help them and that makes me so happy! They've just brought a baby into the world, they deserve to feel wonderful!<br /><br />Hugs.Amyhttp://www.amyflyingakite.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-66007267949063869602015-03-18T10:17:53.737+11:002015-03-18T10:17:53.737+11:00It's my favorite bag at the moment; I am using...It's my favorite bag at the moment; I am using it all the time! :)Bonita Vearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-56417655990426335302015-03-18T00:47:22.175+11:002015-03-18T00:47:22.175+11:00You do look positively gorgeous!

You look lovely here, I'd say you have it nailed :) while I've not had a baby, I already know that if/when I do, there's no way I want to compromise on my style just because nothing I wore before fits! I had no idea support wear was actually helpful, that's really useful to bank for later!
