You are such a cutie! And re: the unscolitied advice, I’m attempting to prepare myself mentally for when I start talking about kids, pregnancy, etc, more in detail. I know I’m going to get a bunch of naysayers, but the community that has developed me around me (as you mentioned in your post as well) is worth every annoying email and comment I think.

If you ever come to Dallas again (which I’m sure you will if your parents are still here) please look me up!

Hi Erin,
I love your blog but I soooo know what you mean about sharing personal things about our lives on blogs. When my little boy was born 3 weeks ago, I couldn’t sleep at night until I took my blog private (hey, we all have our hang-ups post-partum and that was just one of mine!). I was wondering if you’d like to read mine — no offense taken if you’re full-up on blogs to read. If you would, though, just email me your email address to rebekahwaltz@yahoo.com and I’ll send you an invitation. I really love following your blog because our sons are just weeks apart and I am also struggling with the slow-going healing process (I had a C-section and a pretty awful labor experience beforehand, too!). Anyway, just know that most of your readers are just normal girls like you and I, and try to ignore the nosey crazies who can’t just keep their opinions to themselves.
Hudson is beautiful! Keep up the good work and enjoy being a stay-at-home mom.
Becky

Hey there! You look sooooo GREAT! I have no idea what ur stressing about… but I also understand that if you’re not happy, then you gotta change it! My husband and I have been married for 2 years now and are really thinking seriously about trying to start our little family! I’ve always been a “plus” size gal, so I’m currently trying to lose a little weight too! I wanna be a little more fit b4 we start trying! Anyway… I know how hard it is! Just keep up the good work! You look fab and little man is absolutely adorable!

You look great, as does your handsome little man! I can only imagine how much unsolicited “advice” you’re getting. Thanks for continuing to share. As someone who has never experienced motherhood firsthand, I really appreciate your insight into first time motherhood. It’s your blog and you should never have to defend your choices and decisions to others!

You are just the cutest little mama~ I know the weight gain has to be frustrating, especially since you were working so hard at WW before you got pregnant. It will come off in due time, I am sure!

Uh can I just say that clearly it doesn't matter what size pants you had to buy, you look AMAZING!! And Hudson?! Is there anything cuter!! Sorry you've been getting people in your face lately. I am not sure what makes people think they actually "know" us just because we blog. Hmm... Can't wait to see the birth announcement you put together pretty girl! I'm sure it's lovely!

I totally feel you with the weight issue. My girl is 10 weeks and I still can’t fit in my pants! I have lost all but 7 pounds but those pants don’t even fit! It is so depressing to go anywhere because I don’t have anything to wear. I am going shopping today to get clothes b/c I go back to work in 2 weeks! I have actually made a few cute skirts to get me by too. I loved The Hangover too. We laughed so hard and needed it (although everytime they showed the baby I missed her so much!)

I don't think I could add anything that 70 people before me didn't, so just let me say that you both look wonderful and to keep believing in yourself and you'll feel great again in no time. Cheers!! Maggie ~ The Freckled Citizens last blog post: In sickness and in health
