Finding Full Coverage

Although I am almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight , my body is definitely not in the same state as it once was.  My belly is a bit more stretched, loose, flabby, marked up... you get the idea (it would probably helped if I did some actual exercise though too).  So this swimsuit season, its full coverage for me.  I have been looking for simple one pieces and "tankinis" for a bit now and these are some of my top-picks.

1 // moontide -I actually bought this one already at and have worn it once, it's simple and fits well

2 // This two-piece is from Target and I like that the pattern isn't anything too crazy

3 // I love the anchors on this one-piece from Old Navy. Very nautical!

4 //  This one from Anthro is a bit out of my price range, but the color is absolutely gorgeous.

5 // Just a top from Target could go with some plain black bottoms (mixing and matching is great).

6 //  The Kuwaii - Another one piece that is a bit expensive.  The stripes are super cute though!

7 month update

I don't know why but for me the number 7 in any age just sounds so much older than the number 6.  I remember turning 27 and feeling like 27 sounded so much more like "hey, you really are an adult now, get your act together" where as 26 just sounds like you are still young and can have fun and do whatever you want.

Silas is now 7 months and that just seems crazy to me, crazier than 6 months.  Maybe because he is just that much closer to being a year.   At 7 months, he is ON THE MOVE, creeping all over the house (which started the day after he turned 6 months - so awhile now). He still is not crawling on all fours, but I wonder if he may just go from creeping to walking AAHHH).  The other day he actually pulled himself on a basket  into a standing position and has been standing against other things quite well without our support.  

His current favorite things are gumming on puzzle pieces, STILL chasing the cats (and burying his face in their fur), banging EVERYTHING, being tickled and sung to, and pulling moms hair.  Why not...

I THINK I may see what looks like a tooth coming in the bottom, but jury is still out.  

He is giggling more and more, and has the cutest little laugh ever.  Seriously.

He has had a variety of fruits and vegetables now.  He really enjoys pears, carrots, banana, and avocado.  Sweet potatoes on the other hand, he is not really feeling (it's okay Si, mom isn't a fan either).

Oh, and he did finally take that poop.  While I was at the store getting the Miralax.  And it wasn't a sad poop.  Just a normal one.... thank goodness for daddy's sake... :)

Waiting for poo....

Yes folks, that's right.  We are going on day 7 now without a bowel movement from Silas.  He appears in good spirits and I can't help but say its nice not to change a gnarly diaper, but I know a sad poop is coming.

We have tried the prune juice.  We even tried to "get things going" with a little thermometer up the butt.

We have given him foods that may help.  Nothing.  A call was made to the doctor office yesterday and they said the next step was to try a little Miralax and said I shouldn't be too concerned.  We have not bought any yet, but will probably buy some today if we still don't see any action.  This happened a few weeks ago too and when he finally went, boy did he go... and he was not very happy about it.  We try to tell him "That's what happens when you hold it in for so long.  You gotta poop Silas."  

Stay tuned....
