I'm Hip!

So I try to be a cool mom. You know...keep up with the latest trends, fashion, news and perez hilton headlines...So I'd like to think of myself as pretty hip.

But lately, with the tides of summer fast approaching, I'm afraid I've realized that despite my efforts to be as phat and fabulous as Kimora, I've discovered that even though I'm hip, I'm actually also still...all hip.

You see, even though I've lost my preggo weight, my body is just not the same. And I must face the fact that it never will be. Cause now...I've got hips. I believe they call it child-bearing hips. An annoying lingering friend from my preggo days. Geez, had I known this, I would've flaunted my pre-preggo stomach and waist like no one's business! Cause nowadays, they are on the downlow, much like Beyonce and Jay Z's nuptials.

I've hidden them pretty well, but with swim season coming, it's going to be tough. Today, I went looking for a rash guard. I figure, they're cute, surfer girly and ideal to cover up my post preggo tummy and my new child-bearing hips! But when I tried them on, I still need to get used to my new curves. Cause quite frankly, I didn't have any before, and I sure liked it that way. But as they say...Real women have curves...So I guess I am "real" now.

So bring on the surf - I'm ready, I'm real, and I'm hip!
