Postpartum

don't let the suit fool you
 there's about a foot of extra space in the arms and legs
and if you flip the legs up to her head, she looks super flexible 

I am way too postpartum for...

 This commercial

 This piece of writing

 and

 This country song

 with sappy lryics like this...
Hey pretty girl, you did so good
Our baby's got your eyes
And a fighter's heart like I knew she would
Hey pretty girl, you did so good


Hey pretty girl, when I see the light
And it's my time to go
I'm gonna thank the Lord for a real good life
A pretty little girl and a beautiful wife
