There is a Suave commercial out right now that shows a woman "letting herself go" and then "getting herself back". (tried to find the video to post, but can't. If you're interested in seeing it go to www.suave.com click on beauty, then click on full circle) I loved the commercial the first time I saw it, I think because it was a commercial I could actually relate to. But I've been wondering ever since then if I have let myself go? What is the appropriate amount of time after you've had a baby that you should be back to normal? I often don't take a shower until Justin gets home, rarely put on makeup or do my hair, haven't had my hair cut or dyed for months and months (that one is mostly a money issue), don't pluck my eyebrows, haven't lost my baby weight, and sometimes stay in sweats all day. But I honestly feel like I don't have time to do all those things. The rare moment that Judah is occupied by himself I either just want to sit down by myself or I have housework to do. So my question is...By 9 months after having a baby should I be back to normal? Or is it still within the appropriate amount of time to still be "frazzled"?
Really I only care what Justin thinks about me.
But I also don't want to be the woman that everyone whispers about because she has "let herself go".
Even if I really wanted to do all those things I don't know where I would find the time or energy. How do people do it?

can i refer to my first comment on your first post about "knowing you"?
Is that why you got pregnant again? You were like "dang I cant lose this weight... I should just have another baby." haha I am definitley joking. But I dont think you should worry about doing all those things [that make you feel made up] if you are pregnant AND have a baby to take care of. I think it would be different if you went to work everyday, but you are a stay at home mom and you have a lot to do. I think you're pretty and I really like the way you dont get dressed up before you go everywhere, because that's how I am. I feel more comfortable around you.
Yikes. Too many things to worry about. Taking care of yourself is very important, but that doesn't mean you must be a Stepford wife. Formal wear is not for cooking dinner in. yikes. your job is messy. jeans, sweats, jammies seems appropiate to me. so...Have you "let yourself go?" or just changed your uniform?
people don't do anything... they just get liposuction and fancy corsets and make themselves throw up. you are beautiful and that has nothing to do with your face.
