Vaginormous!


VAGINORMOUS2
Originally uploaded by Green Kitchen.
Ever since I birthed an eleven pound baby I've had this feeling that some people are thinking about my private parts, more specifically, the size of said parts. When I mentioned this to a friend she said "I didn't think that at all." Then, her husband reminded her of a cartoon they saw that said something like, "Congratulations Mr. Smith! You are the father of a twelve pound baby boy. Unfortunately your wife's vagina was destroyed." So, instead of letting these thoughts go unspoken, I have decided they need to be addressed openly, hence the VAGINORMOUS onesie. I haven't actually crafted this yet, but it's in the hopper. If you can't laugh about your vagina, what can you?

I love it! I'm still laughing. Ha! Either people will think it's totally funny, or you will make *them* feel uncomfortable with their thoughts of your "private parts." Either way, it's a win-win situation, right? :)

Priceless! I hope Carlo appreciates that after stretching your vagina to the limit, he actually gets a commemorative onesie!

First i had to check how much 11 pounds is in kilograms (4.98 kg) and after that i could only laugh. Hilarious! Our youngest was 4.9 kg's so I know exactly what you are talking about. But to be honest, it never crossed my mind that someone had thought what might have happened (and did!!) to my private parts after giving birth to her. She's 8 years now and this comes to me all new now! I'm laughing even more :)))

I witnessed a friend of mine birth a 12 lb, 11 oz baby naturally outside the hospital with midwives. She made it look like a breeze.
In the hospital, they probably would have made her have a c-section.
She went on to have another home birth, the smallest of her three babies, weighing in at a mere 9.5 lbs.
I don't remember hearing anybody give her trouble about the state of her vagina, however. People heal!
I love the onesie and the fact that you adressed this openly.

I have a friend that gave birth of three sons, about yours size. All her neighbours and close friends thinks about her huge privates. And whenever she get a straight uestion about the matter she simply say that her husband and her are "a perfect match" for eachother. So no further questions :)

The best thing about having a midwife is she is so "hip" to these things. Mine was happy to take a couple of extra stitches for me, no prompting.

Kegels be damned1 Enjoy the new you.

Just yesterday I heard Oprah call her vagina "VA-JAY-JAY" and had to laugh.
But 'Vaginormous'?? That is downright hysterical.

OH NO!!! I had an 11 lb 2 oz boy 17 yrs ago and a 10 lb 14 oz girl 14 yrs ago and it has never occurred to me that anyone would think that. How will I ever look at my friends again??

That's absolutely amazing. I speak as one who birthed a 12lb3ozer, a 9lb 3ozer and a little 7lb 3ozer who was five weeks early!

I love Pilar's friend's response about being a perfect fit for each other though, that's beautiful.

Damn that's funny. I almost bought the one from T-shirt hell that said "I ripped my mommy a new one!" but I just couldn't do it.
You Go!
