A smooshy belly after a baby? Wrinkles from laughing so much? Frown furrows from worrying? Signs of time well spent, in my book. <BR/>Smooch those heavenly cheeks for me. I never had an infant; the boys arrived at 5 months and 7 months. But I got the smooshy belly in honor of their births, just the same! And now plenty of laugh lines, too.MsCellaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399187248681818440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-50619266338262992362008-02-17T22:33:00.000-05:002008-02-17T22:33:00.000-05:00People who have flat stomachs ten days after givin...People who have flat stomachs ten days after giving birth are spending too much time exercising and not enough time cuddling their babies.Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-15572659135877148412008-02-17T18:32:00.000-05:002008-02-17T18:32:00.000-05:00I liked Mrs. Kimble better than Bakers Towers too....I liked Mrs. Kimble better than Bakers Towers too. (Did I mention Jennifer Haigh was in a classmate of mine?) <BR/><BR/>I am trying hard not to think about the post-pregnancy belly myself. The pre-pregnancy belly was nothing to write home about, so at least I won't be in mourning for it.TLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528402228927046821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-25818923952319417652008-02-17T14:42:00.000-05:002008-02-17T14:42:00.000-05:00Don't look at the site again!

They all have personal trainers and nannies and all kinds of helpers that you don't have. <BR/><BR/>I just finished The Heroines and completely agree with you about it. What was the purpose of that bit in the psych unit? The plot could have been carried forward in some way that was more integral to the novel -- this took me out of the story.<BR/><BR/>I love Barack Obama's writing style. I'm reading The Audacity of Hope right now.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066257241391122732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-10825768141631902362008-02-17T13:26:00.000-05:002008-02-17T13:26:00.000-05:00- bad link, dear...probably in more ways than one....- bad link, dear...probably in more ways than one.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474831322702380602noreply@blogger.com
