A New Mommy and Her Makeover

Posted on
By:

My Mommy Makeover - The Beginning About 4 months ago I had a baby. He is insanely adorable- all cheeks with a toothless smile that could melt the heart of the abominable snowman.

By the second trimester most of that intention was violently thrown out the window. Between the …
