Thanks so much everyone for the wonderful congratulations and warm wishes on my last thread/baby announcement! So heartwarming to read all the lovely replies--I really appreciate it!
I haven't been taking many WIW pics lately--too busy enjoying the baby! I've been resting more as well, so lounging in sweats and pajamas a lot. Here are a few pics from the last week and a half. All I can say is, thank goodness for breastfeeding--I look like I had a boob job and the weight is just melting off...I've lost about 15 lb in the last two weeks despite eating a bunch and not exercising. I'm still about 20 lb above my pre-preg weight and I still don't fit into my old jeans/pants yet, but today I wore my Michael Kors faux wrap dress and for the first time I felt like I had my old figure back! This dress was made for apples! And of course, had to add some smiling baby pics just for fun!
1-2. 3/10. Four days postpartum. Took the kids to their swim lesson...one dad remarked, "Last week you were huge, and this week you're not so huge anymore!" Thanks, I think--LOL!
Tahari black leather jacket
Classiques Entier teal ruched/ruffled top
Mavi burgundy maternity skinny jeans
Stuart Weitzmann leopard ballet flats
3-4. 3/11. Five days postpartum. At DS1's preschool for his birthday celebration. Repeat of my earlier outfit with black sweater and polka dot skirt.
5-6. 3/12. Six days postpartum. This isn't really a WIW, just to show that I still have a significant pregnant-looking pooch when I wear regular shirts. Baby started smiling at six days old--that's a new record for my kids (I think the other ones started around 2 weeks)--he's a happy baby!
7-8. 3/17. Eleven days postpartum. To the park with the kids. My boyfriend jeans are the only regular jeans I can fit into, because I had sized up.
Tulle orange peacoat
Gap striped T (Used a BeBand for extra coverage)
Kut boyfriend jeans
Yellow Converse
9-14. 3/20. Two weeks postpartum. I felt like I was wearing a "magic dress" because I finally felt like I had my old figure back! Went to DD's school to show the class art auction project that I had organized (working on it from one week before to two weeks after delivery...as if I wasn't busy enough, LOL!) And took baby to his two week checkup--more happy baby smiles!
Michael Kors faux wrap dress
WHBM black cardigan
Clarks black pumps
WHBM black pendant
15. Just to show how versatile this dress is, this was me wearing the dress at nine months pregnant!

But franky GP your kids are so adorable that I kinda forget to look at the clothes :(... Seriously if I was nearby you would have to get a restraining order to keep me away from them :D
Jokes apart, yes I can see your old figure emerging and the MK dress was one of your dresses that started my love for wraps on others :)
I do see your pooch(am I right here) reducing .
But then you were one beautiful, fashionable mom, third time mom to be and now mom of 3 :).
Your weight gain and now the loss are just happening changes. You are fab and no exactly what you want :)
Lovely all the way :D
xoxoxo -
You look amazing! B'feeding is awesome, but I think you have some good genes, too. ;-)

I have no idea how you manage it all but you do and look great on top of it.
The baby is too cute.

You look great -- I can't believe your little guy is smiling! Both mine started at like 10 weeks. I guess I just had grumpy children :)

You are snapping back beautifully and the dress looks especially good on you but I can't rip my eyes from #6 and #14. That is one irresistibly adorable baby!

Natlaie - you look AMAZING! Wow - how gorgeous in the MK dress. Your newest cherub is making me smile - just look at the face in #14?!

You look great and how lucky that your baby is already smiling! Mine must have been grumpy like Ceit's because they didn't smile until around 6-8 weeks. That blue dress looks amazing on you both now and when 9 months pregnant.

You are KILLING me, Natalie--with your incredible energy and ability to jump right back into the swing of things, and with those ridiculously amazing smiling baby pics. What baby smiles at 6 days old?! He must know he has a wonderful mama.

You are seriously stylin' in all those pics. And I have to tell ya I love DD's outfit there at the pool.

Being a relatively new mom myself, I am inspired by both your fashion ability during these body changing phases and also with your ability to get out of the house with the family just days postpartum. Well done all around.
