So if you recall this is what I looked like in my 38 week belly pics:
3 days post partum
1 week post partum
My belly is already fairly flat, but it's just a little saggy with the belly button stretched out. I have a few stretch marks above the bikini area but they are not super noticeable. I'm amazing at how my body has bounced back. I've lost about 20 lb of the 33 I gained and I'm cool with keeping the 13 extra if that's what happens.
It's already hard to believe how big my belly was when I see those pics and makes me a little sad. I never got any video of my belly moving. I kind of miss my huge preggo belly. I hope we are able to have another baby so I can do it all again someday!
I'm also in awe of my boobs right now though, it's so cool how they get all full of milk for my little guy and soften as he nurses. I was changing him earlier and he started crying and my boobs started to leak, what an amazing response!

You look fantastic!!
I pretty much lost all my weight in the first 2 weeks! The saggy-ness will even out in a couple more weeks! My belly button is still stretched out but slowly returning how it was pre-pregnancy. My line is taking a while to go.

Did you have to rub it in? You look fantastic! I know you are going to lose those 13 lbs because you are only a week out. BF makes the weight come right off.

You look great!! That "flab" will go away too, especially with your body type
Nursing boobies are pretty cool, huh?! The same thing used to happen to me all the time when Reid was a newborn.
