A miscarriage is not a subject that goes around much, you tempt to keep quiet about it because you either think it's a sore subject or it's not something people should speak freely about. I get it, when I went through mine I always felt that if I told anyone I had one their first response would be pity. "Oh I'm so sorry" "are you ok?" typically follow. I have always been the type of person that doesn't like when people feel sorry for me or feel bad for me. It makes me feel weak as if I'm looked down upon and I'm thing gentle thing on the ground. I'm not this gentle thing, I just went through one of the toughest things I've even endured.

Let's be honest, having a new baby takes a toll on our sexiness, motherhood can be.... well not so glamourous. I know for me personally ever since having Jax it's been extremely hard to feel like my old self again.
I used to dress up every day, I loved knowing theres somewhere to go (whether it was the grocery store or an actual dinner) I had the excuse to put something new on, do my makeup take time putting on some false lashes and extensions. Aside from the vanity as well as the under garment that of course was for my husband. Having a baby meant more comfort. I always said that I would still dress up after having a baby. Truth is I tried. But didn't go so well. Its gotten easier to just throw on a tee and jeans and walk out the door. Specially when you have to breastfeed, it's the nursing bra and easy large tee.
I haven't been able to breastfeed my baby for as long as I had hoped for so I want to get some of these pieces for future reference. Also your husbands with appreciate this more than your regular ol' nursing bras. I think that what Dita Von Teese has made is amazing for all women.
Dita Von Teese partnered up with Destination Maternity for this amazing limited edition retro-inspired line for all mamas out there. Von Follies by Dita Von Teese aims to embrace a new sexy side for new (or more than new) moms. The very sexy designs such as the bras that are not only nursing-enables (with clip-down tabs and detachable cups for added comfort) but can be paired with a set of pin-up-inspired high-waist panties (they feature discreet built-in panels for support) also designed by Dita Von Teese herself. The most amazing part of all this (as if it could get any better?) the price ranges from $39-$55!
So if you're a new mom, about to be a mom or plan on being a mom you need to get on this now! Don't you just love how new things come out to help us moms get back to being ourselves? It's sexy & functional. Those two words are hard to find when you're a mom.

I feel like can't get any bigger! Also I'm secretly hoping he doesn't either. He's at a good weight, I don't want to imagine pushing bigger than that... I'm officially on the 5 days left countdown. I really hope he makes his grand debute this week, I can't even imagine having to possibly be pregnant for another 2 weeks. I'm trying everything (safe) to get him out. A few myths here and there...
Walking - I'm still working both jobs, trust me there is plenty of walking going on there. Even on my days off or just time before and/or after work I temp to go on a little shopping trip and walk for hours!
Spicy Food - I actually wish I could try this more than I'd could. I'm not huge on spicy food but I do love me some jalapeño flavor anything. Sadly I get heartburn like no tomorrow. It's painfully uncomfortable, specially at nighttime. It leads to sleepless nights.
Sex - We've all heard sex helps induce labor. But so far I've had no luck! Certainly does help relax me and losen up the body though. So I'm more into enjoying it than just doing it as a job.
Castor Oil - This is the only one I have yet to try. I'm skeptical. Some say it sure put them into labor just hours after taking a couple spoonfuls, others say it just gave them a real bad case of the runs (also embarrassing during labor) and some even said that if you aren't dilating at all that it's not safe to take it. Because it forces you into labor when the body isn't ready and it can cause stress on the baby (last thing I want for my baby) so with so many opinions I'm scared of what to expect. I'm waiting for my next appointment and hopefully by then if I did have some progress then I will be trying it! My last resort!
Evening Primrose Oil - These pills are supposed to help you to dilate and thing the cervix out. I did start taking these at 37 weeks. Small dosage and I doubled it by now my 39th week. I'm currently still taking it, haven't tried inserting it up my cooca yet though. Maybe this week I will try that. I still take it nightly, hopefully it does help somehow but either way it also helps with your skin complexion so it's a win regardless.
Regardless of what I try he will make his appearance when he wants to, I just wish it were soon! I can't wait to meet this little monster! Fingers crossed!
