I’d just like to say I am wearing my favorite pair of jeans. Big whoop? I just had a baby 2 months ago and haven’t been able to wear these suckers in 9 months (last time I managed, uncomfortably, was when I was 8 weeks along). Oh sure, these size 8s fit my 5’7" frame a wee bit differently, and my deflated belly still needs to deflate a little more before I wear anything with them that draws attention to my waist, but I can wear them and not look gross. Hell, I can fasten them, which 6 weeks ago was impossible, and two weeks ago was uncomfortable. That is all. Carry on. 🆒 ---

2 Months and you’re already back in your jeans?! Excellent! Congratulations on your baby and your almost back to normal belly. 🙂 ---

Ah yes, I remember that day well. It seemed like a miracle - I remember being 9 months pregnant and holding up a pair of my regular jeans and thinking it was impossible that I could have ever worn them. The day you get them back on is a great day.
