Plus, after two kids it was really proved that 'nine months on, nine months off'...and even if it's not all 'off'...who cares? If you are getting through the day with a modicum of sanity and are relatively healthy, to hell with it. Thank you for your eternal good sense, btw :) Thank you for posting this — it has been annoying the ever living bleep out of me since I initially read it somewhere else!

Those first few months are nothing but champagne wishes and caviar dreams, minus the champagne and caviar and dreams. Wishes aplenty, though--mainly for more goddamn sleep.

People who just have <i>jobs</i> often have trouble arranging to get more sleep, let alone people with tiny babies. Just IMHO, and no offense intended at all, but I don't see any reason anybody should feel guilty about what they weigh before, after, or during any stage of baby creation, production, and post-production, or even if there's no baby anywhere to be found :) I love the way the doctor says “even just two hours more,” as though that were just a minor point.

More like: 1. You need to get enough sleep to lose the baby weight. 2. You cannot get enough sleep with a new baby to lose the baby weight. 3. Therefore chill on the losing-the-baby-weight thing already, it'll happen when it happens. Like when the baby is grown and gone to college and you can sleep more at night. Maybe.
