They are not kidding when they say the first 2 weeks post delivery are difficult. Sleepless nights, engorged and leaky breasts, breastfeeding..... but the euphoria of being a mommy and staring at the angelic face of your lil creation makes it all worthwile, as well as having a good support system. Brad and I make a good team, and from the beginning Brad would take Taji when he would wake early morning (7ish) and do daddy-son tummy time, allowing me to sleep an extra precious couple of hours. I also quickly learned what a luxury showers are. As our schedule became more predictable, I also found the time to hop on my computer, do laundry, and straighten up the house, before our little man was ready to feed again. My mom has also alleviated a lot of the housework, and been cooking us some delicious Czech dinners, while also watching Taji for me.
So whenever I come across a product that really impresses me, I have to share it with the world and fellow pregnant/ postpartum mamas. I give you, the Belly Bandit.
This belly "band" wraps around your midsection and really deflates your tummy instantly. With one less post-pregnancy worry, this band sinches your waistline, helps the water retention, and I found than in less than a week I was beginning to reclaim the tummy I had prior to pregnancy..... and this even without pilates. I have to admit though, I'm having pilates withdrawals and can't wait to get my body toned again when I get the green light from my doctor at my 6-week postpartum check-up. Here are the before/ after pics:
