The last month is the WORST!!! haha You have this nice, pretty entry and here I am thinking that these last few weeks couldn't go ANY SLOWER!

Also breastfeeding causes your uterus to contract so your stomach gets back in shape much quicker too. When you start nursing feel free to call me for questions -- it's pretty rough up front but don't worry it's so convient now
