Lil Loves of Our Lives: Zoe Singer of Fit Pregnancy

LilSugar — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:00:10 -0800

As part of our Valentine's Day coverage, we've asked fellow mom bloggers and writers to share their thoughts on motherhood and the lil loves of their lives - their children - with us.

Today's mama is Fit Pregnancy's Mom Appetit blogger, Zoe Singer who has 9-month-old son, Leo.

lilsugar: Why didn’t anybody tell me (fill in the blank) about motherhood?
Zoe Singer: That breastfeeding is really, really, really hard for a long time. And really, really, really worth it for a way longer time.

lilsugar: You know you’re a mother when (fill in the blank)?
Zoe Singer: Let's see, there's the first time you clean off your child's face with your own spit. There's those days when you dress up the baby in his fanciest coordinating outfit complete with useless little shoes and a bib that says something witty, then you throw an old maternity sweater over the jeans you've been wearing for 2 weeks and go to meet a friend without brushing your hair. Or there's the morning when you go to move the car holding a set of plastic rainbow keys.

lilsugar: The best trick my mama taught me was (fill in the blank)?
Zoe Singer: Pretend you couldn't care less about TV and your kids won't either (well, at least I never did, and I'm hoping Leo won't). We never even glance at the TV now...until Leo is fast asleep.

lilsugar: Helicopter mom or free range kids?
Zoe Singer: Well, I'm striving for balance, so sometimes I hover needlessly, and sometimes I blink and all hell breaks loose.

Belly Worship: Fit's Beautiful First Baby Bump

babysugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:00:57 -0700

FitSugar recently shared an amazing photo from her first pregnancy in our Belly Worship group and I was completely taken aback by it because I didn't know her at the time. Today Fit has two beautiful daughters and wins my vote as one of the most active, healthy, engaged and enthusiastic moms around. Seeing her bursting belly just makes me love her more. Fit shared:

Here is my enormous belly, two weeks before I gave birth to my first. My belly grew even bigger than this. I look at my 5-year-old and it seems like yesterday that I was preggo with her.

Could she be any cuter? You can share a picture of your baby bump in our Belly Worship group. For instructions on how to join and contribute, read more.

You can participate in our special celebration of all things belly by joining the Belly Worship Group and submitting pictures of your belly in a blog entry. Make sure to tag your entry "Belly Worship."

You can also join the Belly Worship Group and just upload a picture (make sure you tag it "Belly Worship" too!). If you are confused, check out our guide to posting a blog for pointers.
