Awkward & Awesome

Awkward :

Finally being able to button my 

{loosest fitting} pre-pregnancy denim shorts,

and confidently walking out the door to my favorite place, Target {duh},

only to bend over and rip those bad boys right up the ass.

Yup, confidence shot.

Those shorts went from being my favorites to in the trash 

 in just a matter of a few short hours.

+++++++++++++++++

Venturing to the mall for the first time with GG in tow

and heading straight to Von Maur because they have a reputation

for having a wonderful area for nursing mothers,

only to be so overwhelmed by our little field trip

that I missed the door for the actual "Mother's Room"

and plopped my nursing self in the 

{open to the whole department store} "Women's Lounge" instead.

After receiving many confused/concerned/dirty looks from fellow female shoppers,

I noticed from my seat in the corner:

So, in between GG's first and second course,

I packed myself up 

and moved right into the appropriate spot.

It's a super nice room and now that I have been there,

I can totes give you directions if you need them ;).

Awesome :

Getting a massage exactly 6 weeks postpartum.

Oh, my shoulders have never felt such sweet relief!

And while I know it might not sound amazing,

 an elbow to the glutes can be magical.

+++++++++++++++++

Now that I am cleared to exercise,

GG and I took BOB for a well-intentioned jog

 that turned out to mostly be a fast-paced walk

{or a wog, if you will}, 

and while I was huffing and puffing my way up a hill,

this random lady started cheering me on.

It seriously made my day and for that moment I didn't cave into the 

overwhelming sensation to just give up and sit my ass on the hot pavement.

I mean it's hard to give up when you have your personal cheerleader.

I wonder how much she would charge 

if I hired her to follow me around the park on my future morning wogs?
