First, thank you! I felt the warmth that you sent my way. I’m sucker for words, and I really appreciated yours.

The antibiotics have kicked this infection — and they’ve kicked me in the butt, too. I’m tired, but here I am!

In honor of Babeland’s Sexy Mama event, I’m giving away the final prize of the month: Babeland Bath Fizzies. So, go ahead and comment this week!

The big juicy question is:

Has motherhood made you feel sexier?

How did your sexual self image change when you became a mother?

I’m feeling quite unsexy at the moment. A fever is not a turn-on.

But seriously, it was motherhood that made me feel the sexiest I’ve ever felt in my life. After those first three months of morning sickness passed, I was in my power. Sure, I’d fretted about how childbirth might stretch me out — and stretch marks? help! — but after having a baby, I was in awe of what my body had done.

For the first time ever, I let go of all of my insecurities. Since becoming a mom, I’ve wanted to have sex in the daylight. I’ve wanted to have sex with the lights on. And my stretch marks? Who cares?

As Urban Gypsy says this month:

“Look in the mirror and for once don’t allow yourself to be obsessed with what you don’t like, find what you love (everyone out there has at least one spectacular feature) and play it up. Think of what makes you special and what features are outstanding when you feel insecure. Your flaws are part of what is special about you: the stretch marks that run across your belly from being pregnant are a map of your history… Everyone is flawed. And I’m thankful for that. Perfection would be so bland.”

How do your “flaws” make you special?
