I was out of town and missed your post. I've been waiting to hear of your new addition and every time there was a lag with your posts, I would think "she must have had her baby", but nope just more great WIW's. So excited to finally see your new family member. He's beautiful and you look great! I wore sweats and yoga pants pretty much exclusively for several weeks after my kids were born, so I'm so impressed with how good you look just a couple days later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-878861 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:51:36 +0000 Lisa 878861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your newest addition. So precious! As far as PPW goes, I wouldn't give much attention to what others say. You have an amazing body that has given you 3 beautiful children, screw what others say about it. When your body is ready to bounce back it will. And your plan to use tricks from earlier months of pregnancy is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-878774 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:32:20 +0000 Scarlet 878774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please give yourself time to relax and heal, Natalie. You have been through a lot. I think a fever is a sign to slow down. That is great that hubby can take time off to help you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-878710 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 07:25:39 +0000 CK 878710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! Adorable baby, and you look fantastic in all of your photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-878707 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 07:02:19 +0000 An 878707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your darling little man GP. He is just gorgeous! Little babies make my heart flutter. You look beautiful GP. I love that polka dot skirt. And the polka dot nappy bag ... Swoon. I'm very tempted. A new nappy bag was on my list and I still haven't purchased one so ... we'll see. </p> <p>I found it quite full on going from 2 children to 3. It seems that someone always needs something doing for them! But those first weeks go sooo quickly as you know so enjoy every moment. I think it's easy to put too much pressure / too many expectations on ourselves so look after yourself! Your children are very cute ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-878703 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 06:34:28 +0000 goldenpig 878703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you all so much everyone for the congratulations and well wishes and compliments and words of encouragement! I've read all of your comments several times--sorry it's taken me so long to respond. It's been a very busy and tiring week, getting used to the new baby and nursing a lot and taking him to all the doctor visits and the two older kids to school and activities. Baby was jaundiced so we had to take him in for multiple followups--we've been to the doctor's office 3 times in the last week (he's fine though now that the milk is in). And I had a low grade fever and chills two nights ago so I went to the OB yesterday and she put me on antibiotics for possible mild infection. I am trying to take it easy and rest as much as possible but it's tough as the baby is up a lot at night nursing and fussing. DH and I were complaining to each other how the baby sleeps all day and is up all night and DD said, "Well that's because the baby is nocturnal." LOL--she's smart! DH has been off work these last couple of weeks and doing most of the chores and cooking and taking care of the kids, which is great. </p> <p>As for fashion, haven't been taking WIWs the last few days as I've been wearing the polka dot skirt a lot! Thanks JennyK for the tip about the BeBands--I had one that I didn't use during pregnancy but I tried it a few days ago and it was perfect to cover up the belly area. And hil, I did buy a binder as well so I think I'll try that as well. I did manage to make it to the mall with my mom one afternoon to buy some nursing bras. Breastfeeding is awesome--the engorgement makes my belly look comparatively smaller and is making the weight start to melt away, LOL. I think I've already lost another 5 lb in the last few days despite eating a ton. I bought a couple of tops in a size up to tide me over during this transition period.</p> <p>Will post more later, but just wanted to say thanks for all the support and encouragement! I am overwhelmed with your kindness! What a fab group!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-877686 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:09:08 +0000 Hil 877686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing GP! And as a doula, I see A LOT of post partum moms! Please take it easy though - you and baba need some time to just rest a little! What a speedy labour you had! </p> <p>As an apple shape, I totally identify with how you loved dressing your preggy belly - I felt exactly the same - for the first time in my life I could flaunt my belly instead of hide it!</p> <p>I have been reading a lot about the benefits of belly binding recently - have you looked into that at all if your squishy post partum belly really bothers you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-877588 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:17:50 +0000 anne 877588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking out for this announcement but only just saw it!! Congratulations on a most fabulous baby!!!! I too am in awe of your looks and the fact you posted anything at all, let alone that thread.</p> <p>I loved bottoms ( skirt and trousers) made of a fabric called bengaline for dressing in the immediate post partum period, although I wore it a lot in the second trimestre too. It is woven yet stretchy and firm, and helps to keep things in in a comfortable way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-877560 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:44:13 +0000 cjh 877560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late but sincere congratulations on the new addition, and what a cute one! Your family is sweet - I hope you are all enjoying the new cutie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-877539 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:19:42 +0000 Makrame 877539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/4#post-877533 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:17:44 +0000 cobaltblue 877533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable!

I haven't tried this particular one but wore "heal tops" in the first couple of weeks which is a similar idea.<br /> <a href="http://www.glamourmom.com/store/shopexd.asp?id=463" rel="nofollow">http://www.glamourmom.com/store/shopexd.asp?id=463</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-875023 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:30:38 +0000 kellygirl 875023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! You and baby look fab! Your pictures are all so sweet. Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-875021 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:28:32 +0000 Scarlet 875021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Natalie!!!!! I am so happy for you. He is beautiful! I think nobody posts postpartum style because they are too tired I guess you have no choice but to be full of energy with two active little ones already. (How do you do it? You really are a wonder woman!) When I was first home from the hospital we popped out to the mall so I could buy some fitting but not maternity jeans and a nursing bra. The woman in the store asked me when I was due. I couldn't blame her since I clearly had a big belly and was wearing maternity clothes. Don't worry. You look just right. My little sweetheart is 4 months and I am still wearing bigger clothes and dressing appley, even though every body tells me I look like I bounced right back. Since I am in the U.S. visiting family I took the opportunity to order some Angie's picks all sized up to fit me now with ease. I also find that the oversized tops that are in fashion work well for nursing. Just enjoy your beautiful, healthy baby! Brings tears to my eyes. And P.S. the Trouve denim-look top in the YLF store has snaps, which is very handy, and it shrank very little if at all in the dryer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874855 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:44:04 +0000 anya 874855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG this is the cutest post ever. Congratulations !You and your family are adorable. You look fab Natalie. And super energetic. Whatever you do, don't loose that wonderful happy smile of yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874633 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:35:31 +0000 Vicki 874633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, your precious little guy is adorable and the family photos are simply the BEST! Congratulations to the entire GP family! Your WIWs are always fantastic and I'm a longtime admirer. I think you've got the transition formula down and the peacock tunic and burgundy outfits were ideal. </p> <p>I loved reading your post and look forward to more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874626 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:22:59 +0000 cciele 874626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! Baby (and the whole family, really) is too, too adorable. And you are definitely owning your postpartum style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874612 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:07:38 +0000 columbine(erin) 874612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, what a beautiful family and new baby. You look amazing, especially in the peacock tunic. I did not look that good after either of my babies, hehe. It's inspiring to see how lovely you look so soon post partum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874587 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:37:06 +0000 rae 874587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read this at work and couldn't comment properly - SO FAB! The pics with all the kiddos are so sweet. You look like such a perfect family. You can just feel the love. The diaper bag is just as fab as we knew it would be - too perfect! </p> <p>People can be so inobservant sometimes... when will you be induced? Eh, I think that says more about the other mom, lol. There is a pretty huge difference. You will be rocking your post-partum style like none other in two seconds flat. Happy Birthday to DS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874217 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:24:07 +0000 Katiepea 874217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the birth of baby GP. He is utterly adorable! </p> <p>You are looking waaaaaaayyyy too good to be worried about Trimester 4. </p> <p>In case it is of any use at all, I can recall wearing my maternity clothes for the first week or so and then my larger sized regular clothes.</p> <p>I must confess that I was so sick of maternity clothes and was so desperate to wear my regular jeans after baby 3 that I looped one end of a rubber band around the button on a pair of jeans, and looped the other side through the button hole. I then wore the jeans with a long tunic top worn over the top. Not very glamorous, but it was effective and I can remember that it did actually make me feel better to wear "normal" clothes again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874198 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:43:50 +0000 ramya 874198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok GP... It was nonstop Awwww.... all the way...</p> <p>He is so cute... Just like the other two... Thanks for sharing ..</p> <p>And you are a superwoman Natalie... Really... And my God!!! Are you fab or what </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874189 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:29:09 +0000 AJ 874189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP, I don't know HOW you do it! Your mama style quotient is through the roof! </p> <p>I was so frumpy during my pregnancies and couldn't even think about looking stylish for the first 6 months postpartum! </p> <p>You have such great options in your closet, I know you'll come up with stylish ways to deal with this transition period. </p> <p>These baby pics and the sibling one are too cute for words! Big congrats and try to take time each day to savor these fleeting moments while they are still so young. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874071 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:31:48 +0000 DonnaF 874071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! What an adorable baby! Actually, that goes for all of you. You certainly don't look like you just gave birth, but please don't overdo it. I got exhausted just reading about your hectic life. Gotta love that KS diaper bag though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-35-39-starring-my-newest-little-accessory/page/3#post-874063 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:22:53 +0000 catgirl 874063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAAAAAAH! I went to our cabin for the weekend and this is what I missed!?! What a beautiful bundle of snuggliness you have, and your whole family is just glowing. </p> <p>As for what to wear, you should just wear that peacock top every day. No, seriously, if you want to look at your pre-baby pics, your style quotient the whole way was so beyond fab, you can draw inspiration from yourself. No one is going to ask if you're pregnant when you are carrying a newborn, after all, and you will soon be back in the swing of regular dressing. But your maternity style was so fantastic, I don't see why it couldn't continue....</p> <p>Congratulations and please feel free to post all the baby pictures you want. </p>
