After 9 months of pregnancy I've found myself a completely different person, with entirely different priorities. This blog is dedicated to that experience of being a new mom and exposing the down and dirty truth of it all.

Mommy vanity in the form of Spanx

Many new moms I've spoken to complain of the dreaded "bowl full of jelly" that seems to come with your new post partum body. It seems that unless you are someone terribly annoying like Heidi Klum, your abdomen becomes this shapeless, muscleless mass that no matter how many hours of Pilates you do cannot be rectified. Well hello Spanx!

Spanx will be your secret friend for all those times you are inundated with visitors stopping by to see the baby (who by the way will always look at your abdomen to see how quickly you are losing the weight. Jerks.)

There isn't a lot of science behind it, they are kind of like control top pantyhose, without the pantyhose. They keep you pulled in and looking like some shade of your former self, without the terribly depressing dieting and such (because after 9 months of eating whatever you wanted - who really wants to diet?)
