Too much of a visual.....it's all part of the beauty of child birth.
Jan and I have also been marveling at my stomach lately. When I flex my stomach muscles my stomach molds itself from the round and soft 6 month pregnant looking lump, in to this triangular point right in the center of my stomach. Jan thinks it looks like I swallowed a football. It is really an odd sight. I'm tempted to take a picture and post it. Maybe when I get up the nerve to post a picture of my tubular shaped nipples after pumping. I swear they reach out 3 inches. And all 3 inches are laced with nerve endings. OUCH ! It's like something out of an 80's Madonna video gone wrong.
Forget the tummy tuck, I'm going in for nipple reconstruction.
I still don't know what my stomach is going to do. Back to back twins can't be a good thing. After my boys, the size of my stomach went down, leaving some soft and pliable, deflated balloon like skin at the bottom of my belly. It was fine. Nothing I wanted hanging out of my pants, nothing that should be seen in a bikini, but definitely nothing you'd want surgically repaired.
I'm hoping for the same this time around. and of course laughing out loud at my positive attitude.
I know it's early to be having self body image issues...but I'm ready to be back to normal again. I'm ready for all of the leaking to stop, the wounds to heal, and the energy levels to rise again. I'm ready to be just me ! and in a couple of weeks, it will be just me, so I really need me back !
To bring your now corrupted minds down from the still pictures I just created of my body.
I leave you with something more beautiful than words. yet I always try....Turtley old men pictures. mmmmmmm, could you just eat them up !

you'll have yourself back soon. Youre amazing!
cutie boys!
When you said turtley old men I thought of Teenage Mutant Nija turles:) Nate is Leonardo and Ryan is Michelangelo:P.
How cute are they?
PLUS- OUCH on the nipples!!
I having twins who were preemies am considering a tummy tuck down the line...so I can timagine how you are feeling! I am sure you will be a skinny minnie in no time!
Love the visuals babe!
OH MY GOOD LORD! Could they look any more like Spence and Cam? Are you sure you really had babies? Not just reposting Spence and Cam's baby pix? Is this all a big hoax for the publicity? For TLC?
I guess not- when I read about the body image horror show. I'm so sorry girlfriend. I just know you'll go back to your 2 pack in no time at all. I promise I'll do crunches wih you when I get there.
My brave, brave friend...the park with 5 children under 5. You are my hero One day I'll try it with just 3 - you'll give me some tips.
Can't wait to hold those babies! I need a fix.
Oh and the boys are beautiul.
I can't believe you are able to keep your sense of humor through all the craziness and sleep deprivation of the newborn days. At least you have those adorable (not so) little ones to look at!
ok. I was almost afraid to come over when I saw the title. I didn't know if you'd follow up with pictures of something, and quite frankly, the title scared me!
So glad that you all are hanging in there. The boys are adorable!
I can see why you'd think about getting your body back! (and I am strangely intruiged by your description--is that like the car accident fascination phenomena?) I have some stomach that overhangs my c-section scar, but I only had one set, they were early, and I didn't get near as big as you did. But still, I think about it.
Still calling you Superwoman!
how in the hell did you make two sets of twins that look so much alike? it's CRAZY!! they are so damn adorable! and your poor body, it's no wonder, you've put it through the ringer. hopefully it will bounce back for the most part and you will find a "new" normal ; )
You probably should spare us the picture of the nipples. I'm just saying. Oh and I'll be there in five minutes! Does that give you enough time???
And the award for Super Mom goes to the deformed nipple freak from Utah....You are a hoot girl!! You gotta admit that those precious faces are worth any flapping belly rolls, any leaking nipple sludge, and any amount of deformity your poor little body had to endure. I am sure though that you will be back to somewhat of a normal shape soon...and if not, after two sets of twins I dare anyone to say one damn word to you!!! Give those angels big hugs and kisses from us!
Oh so very cute! The boys that is. Hmm, without seeing it myself, it sounds like you may have separated your abdominal muscles.
OMG...they are gorgeous! I can't wait to hold them and squish them in a little huggin'!
What a lovely post K it brought back so many wonderful memories of my sag, flab and self mutilation. I had almost forgotten about, due to the never ending........ I keep asking myself WTF, Where is my.......... Its all good!
What cute pics of the boys, they are gorgeous. K - I can visualize sub atomic particles colliding and bonding together in what seems like empty space, but I need some picks to visualize the full extent of your concerns. :^)
LOL! I was scrolling down looking for belly and nipple pictures! LMAO!
I was happy to see pictures of the beautiful boys instead! ;-)
Like I said, visit some salad bars. Totally good for food poisoning aka weight loss. ;-)
I think I'm coming to see you tomorrow...nipples and all! Heck, I'm glad somebody else has a squishy tummy worse than mine, and I've had over 8 months to get in shape!
The boys are so beautiful!!!
I still remember the pain of nursing like it was yesterday... It was 6 years ago.
Good luck...
