You know back in my younger days I used to love my low slung jeans. I had a pretty cute butt then so I didn't mind when I bent over and you saw a little of it. Then I grew up got a real ass and bought better pants and a super belt. No more bending over and seeing my butt, or as I call it my jiggly fat. No more spare skin tire rolling out over the top of my jeans. I was now stuffed safely inside my big girl pants and strapped in extra tight with my jumbo wumbo belt. I've done pretty good lately about buying normal pants but sometimes when I'm in a hurry at the store I just grab my size and go. Sometimes low pants are still cute with the right shirt for a night out or something. However they are NOT GOOD FOR MOMS. This morning I was in a hurry so I ran in my closet and grabbed the first jeans I saw. I noticed they were a little low but didn't have the patience to bother with belt loops. So I got the bight idea of putting on a longer shirt. I was out the door in no time. I arrive at work to discover my long shirt is only considered long with normal jeans. Okay fine. I'll just keep my butt in my chair all day and no one will notice, right. WRONG! When my son finally took a nap I figured now was a good time to pick up all the color crayons off the floor. OOOPS. thats right I'm down on my hands and knees with my granny panties sprawling out of my pants for everyone to see and my butt crack (am I allowed to say butt crack on here?) peaking out of those. It was mortifying. I ran over and closed my office door and scurried around trying to find all the rest of the Crayola's and then planted my butt back in my chair. THIS IS WHY IT IS A BAD IDEA FOR MOMS TO BUY LOW JEANS AND AN EVEN WORSE IDEA FOR MOMS TO FORGET THEIR BELT.
Never forget your belt moms. In fact just go buy enough belts for all your jeans so they are pre-looped and you don't even have to make an effort in the morning.

A very very bad idea for moms

Funny story about the jeans... sometimes we learn the hard way, huh?
I wanted to comment about your breastfeeding dilemma. I guess my advice is 2 fold (and worth 2 cents. Seriously, take it with a grain of salt because it's based on my ONE experience with breastfeeing a child; fyi, I breastfed my son for the first 8 months).
First, don't feel bad about still breastfeeding. It's entirely up to you & your kiddo. If it's working for you, great. Do whatever you feel in your gut is best.
Second, if you want to quit, I found that I really had to make the decision that I was QUITTING. That whole idea that you'll naturally "dry up" as your kid grows up is totally bogus, if you ask me. I had to really make the decision and then endure a short amount of time of some serious discomfort.
Once I skipped one pumping session (I work full time too), for two straight days, I was able to then eliminate the other ones in short time. The hardest to let go of for me was that early morning feeding. But by that time, I really had dried up and my son needed more, so we gave him the morning bottle.
I still give him his nighttime and morning bottles religiously. I love that time of night with him, the same way I loved it when I was breastfeeding.
Again, it's my 2 cents, which I'm only giving because it seemed like you wanted some feedback.
Im making a note to myself rightnow!!
