Then and Now: My Look Before and After Becoming a Mom

// I may earn money from the companies mentioned in this post. //

My good friend (and beyond talented artist), Nicole Hance, recently posted some really funny sketches on her Instagram feed that showed her look pre- and post-babies.

I died laughing and begged her to allow me to share them with my readers.

Then and Now: My Look Before and After Becoming a Mom”:

I just know y'all can relate to this artwork depicting the changes to my physical being and choices before and after kids.

Pre-Baby

To clarify, pre-baby I dressed like someone who had time to shower, looked at fashion magazine, and was able to go to the gym on a regular basis.

I had:

  • a well-rested face with carefully applied make-up
  • freshly washed hair (that was blow dried and styled)
  • jewelry
  • a designer purse (that contains a can of Diet Coke, the latest issue of Vogue, lipstick, and a hair brush)
  • a stylish outfit that is clean and fits well (and does not involve elastic)
  • cute shoes – always heels

After 2 Babies

After 2 babies I dress like someone who might be homeless, may or may not be leaking as we speak, and you wonder if they've brushed their teeth today (newsflash – they have not).

I have:

  • four day old hair (not sure where this color came from…)
  • no make-up
  • caffeine (LOTS)
  • spit up
  • shirt that covers stomach plus and oversize jacket (it's probably my husband's…)
  • yoga or maternity pants (yes, STILL. Shut up.)
  • bag that came with the breast pump (contains diapers, formula, binkie, animal crackers, toys, outfits, bottles, random restaurant crayons, and my SANITY (scratch that – I can't find it anywhere)
