It was a monumental day. Six months after giving birth and I was back into my regular clothes. Rushing through the Vancouver airport wearing a beyond fabulous DVF new dress and smashing stilettos to match.
Was so preoccupied with not falling over as I teetered along (it had been at least a year since I wore really high heels) that I almost didn’t notice men looking at me. Business men in lovely tailored suits.
At first I thought it must be a lucky one-off; an I’m-wearing-a-beyond-fabulous-DVF-dress glow. But no. One fellow even stopped mid-tracks and nudged his friend.
For just a moment things went into slow motion and became a bit surreal. I had gotten so used to being invisible to the opposite sex. Not that men didn’t find me attractive. It was more like I had a big imaginary mommy-off-limits “X” crossed out in front of me.

I am the classic pear shape: tiny upper body with a rounded lower body. I’ve never had breasts bigger than an ‘aa’ cup.
You can imagine how excited I was with my first pregnancy about getting “porn” breasts. I told my husband that I was going to buy a special lacy bra so he could take many a photo of me and my breasts. I even told my close male friends they could look at the photos—which sounds weird, and I guess it is weird but that’s how excited I was about getting big boobs.
In the end, my breasts only got big enough to fill an ‘a’ cup bra with a little spillage over the front. They grew, of course, when I started to breast feed but never enough fit into a maternity bra. (The photo is of when my breasts were at their biggest.)

I’m fourteen weeks pregnant with my second child—my son is 19 months old. Absolutely excited of course; at the same time a bit bummed as my husband and I had just got our sex life back into a good place and now it will be, once again, erratic for the next two years.
My first pregnancy came after ten miscarriages. As such for the first semester I was considered a high risk pregnancy and we weren’t allowed to have sex. More so, I was so completely freaked out about the baby ‘sticking’ that sex was the last thing my mind.
Once or twice I remember thinking, “Who would want to have sex while going through all of this morning sickness, first trimester crap?”; grateful sex wasn’t allowed.

So ok - I suck. You guys have to tell me how you got your men to acquiesce to the ball snip - aka - vasectomy. Mine won’t do it - and I’m not about to ruin my tummy tuck with an open abdominal surgery (they can’t go in with a laparascope thru your belly button if you’ve had one - heads up).
Onward - I had a Mirena, for 5 years - then when my daughter was a shade under 5, they showed it to me in an ultrasound. I didn’t like seeing it in there - why did I have to walk around with a mini grappling hook in my uterus? Besides, Mirena releases low-dose hormone directly into your uterine lining. Since I wasn’t going to quit smoking, and I really didn’t want to have a stroke, I directed the OB to pull it.

My 18 month old son was playing “disappear” in the closet as I made a fresh bed. Task completed, I went to retrieve him and he handed me a lovely silver clutch purse. It took a few beats to realize that it was my lovely clutch and that once upon a time I used it quite a bit.
I had to sit down on the floor the force hit me so hard. Remembering days of going out on a whim’s notice. Eating at trendy downtown restaurants, drinking martinis and wine. Meeting with sophisticated (childless) friends to go to a movie. Walking slowly hand-in-hand when the weather was warm. Dressing up in fun (sometimes adventurous) clothes with proper time to do my hair and makeup.
I sat there in a memory haze, kicking myself hard about how I could have taken it all fore granted.
