Omg. Spanx. I have a love/hate relationship with Spanx. The last time I wore them was to participate in my best friend’s wedding. She chose Shrek-green silk dresses (that set me back $250, thankyouverymuch) and I looked like, well, Shrek. Not good. My darling husband helped me get ready and came running when he heard me screaming in the bedroom. I was trying to squeeze into those darn Spanx and got my arm caught. Then I fell over and got wedged in between the bed and dresser. It was awesome.

Such entertainment I find here! And the crying at the advertisement – yeah, sorry to tell you but even after your baby making years have passed you by, the commercials can still sneak up on you and leave a person quite “misty”. Not that I am speaking from personal experience or anything : )

After my son was born, I would sit in the guest bedroom and pump. Sometimes my 2 year old daughter would come in and chat with me as only a 2 year can. One day, she got ahold of the breast shields, put them up to her chest and started running around the house yelling, “I’m mommy. I’m pumping.” Over and over. At the top of her lungs. Sigh….

Um, hello… I’m a new mom to a 2-month-old and thus also a spanx-wearing milk dispenser too. Glad we’re in the same club. Two things:
1. I was totally fine letting my husband watch childbirth from the foot of the bed. Nothing phases him. But we both agreed that him watching me wiggle into my spanx was just too much for our marriage to handle. It’s that awkward.
2. I just went back to work this week, with pump, bottles, hands free pump bra with the you-know-what’s cut out, cooler, ice pack, lactation tea… It’s like I’m a pack mule walking into work every morning. And then when I met my husband and baby for dinner on the way home I had to bring my milk in so it wouldn’t sit in the hot car. I just want to crack jokes to my coworkers because the whole thing is ridiculous but I’m afraid talk of pumping will make them uncomfortable so I’m trying to be mature and keep it to myself. But if they only knew what was going on behind that closed door to my office…

1. I’ve never worn Spanx. True story. I’m just not dedicated enough.

2. My two-almost-three-year-old asks me if there’s a baby in my belly every time she sees me changing from a regular bra to a sports bra…while staring at my chest. I think that means that I owe her an explanation of basic human anatomy. But I’m just not up for it.

3. I’m really sorry about your leftovers. Truly. There’s little more tragic in first-world America than not getting to relive something delicious the next day. And then being smacked in the face by the odor of its fetid incubation inside your vehicle the next day. *Especially when you live somewhere hot and humid (which I do).

Word, sister-friend.

Also, I really think you should just go ahead and get pregnant with that fourth baby, vampire or not, because if this is your stream of consciousness on normal hormones, I am super big-time looking forward the pregnant version.

(Because clearly your reproductive timing should hinge on my desire for mildly hallucinatory, hormone-fueled entertainment).

Bwahahaha! Bless you. I have been there, for all of it. I promise.
And even though my husband has had a vasectomy, every time I’m a day or so late I’m convinced that I’m pregnant. It hasn’t happened in 5 years, so maybe that fear will go away one day.
