Gawd Yes! (THANKS!!) While going through my closet this past week, I packed away lots of dresses. Even though I could prolly still wear a few, I just dont WANNA wear anything with a 2 in front of it EVER again...so they are going to the Women's shelter!

Added: My 7 month anniversary is coming up in a few days...I'm going to get DH to take a pic of me in my size 16 dress!

Thanks Mari...I actually made the skirt out of felt material...I am NOT a seamstress by any means. I didnt feel BIG until I saw the picture afterwards.

You did really well, I made my daughter a skirt like that when she was in ballet, she was around 7. Yours looks very professional. I think you look "cute". But I know what you mean, I thought I looked fine in my before, now I look like a big old slob, I was sooo in denial.

I was trying to find some more "before" pictures and now I'm feeling a bit sad in the fact that as my kids were growing up, I avoided the camera. I have very few pics with them and it makes me feel sad. I'm just hormonal this past week if you read my post about rock climbing last week. Anyway.... a few befores and in progress pics.
