Just Faux Fun

Well, I guess this is going to be a thing now - Just Faux Fun Fridays - you can read past Faux Funs here and here.  Today I am traveling back to the TN for a weekend and to attend a baby shower for one of my very best friends.  In honor of that, let's talk about baby related gear. 


I got my friend a book called, Porn for New Moms. No, it's not actual porn.  It's more like this. 

So cute!  

Being child free, there is a lot I don't know about babies, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.  But OMG are there a lot of products that really make me scared for the day I am pregnant. Like this: 

This is a nipple cover, to "relieve sore and cracked nipples to help minimize pain during breastfeeding."  Oh my, does it really get this bad that you may need a cover?  

Then there's this. 

 Here's the info. No it is not a tool belt. Many women experience wider hips after pregnancy. SOLUTION The Shrinkx Hips belt works thanks to the hormone Relaxin, which loosens pelvic joints & ligaments for childbirth. Relaxin then stays in your system up to 8 weeks before joints and ligaments harden in place. Wearing the Shrinkx Hips belt during this time gives you the opportunity to permanently narrow your hips. Shrinkx Hips * Provides constant, even pressure to gently guide your hips back to their pre-pregnancy position * Must be worn in the first 8 weeks after delivery*

A. The fact that your hips can get bigger after pregnancy is depressing.

B. The thought of wearing something so constricting right after pushing a baby the size watermelon through something the size of a lemon sounds like the 7th circle of hell. I'll take the bigger hips.  

The amazing thing is, despite all the scary news about your body changing, and nipple chaffing, pop explosions, etc. I still can't wait to be a mom.
