June 2015:
Hot again hot again hot again,
Kendra chanted silently in time to her rollerblading. Her thighs no longer chafed. Her arms had returned to her free motion range. The nursing bra kept her breasts under control.
And if it's over,
she insisted,
it's over. Fun while it lasted.
She didn't want it to be over.
Her energy was high. Jeremy had settled into a single middle-of-night wakeup for feeding, allowing her and Sam a predictable sleep schedule. Her diet was as rigorous as it was before the wedding, adjusted for breastfeeding. The supplements she took were carefully vetted and, where reasonable, organic.
If it's over,
she admitted to herself,
I'm going to be pissed off.
She had only glimpses of her bare legs as they flashed, sun on sweat, in her stroke rhythm.
The legs are awesome,
she thought,
no question about that. Maybe I ditch the stockings to emphasize them.
At seven months, Jeremy was a demon crawler, but Kendra kept up with that easily. Toddling, now, would demand more, in keeping with the sports edict that defense expends more energy than offense. Except for a few experiments with chairs and playpen uprights, Jeremy hadn't started a serious campaign to become a biped.
She slowed only a little as she reached the house. Taking the turn from the sidewalk to the front walk confirmed again the suppleness of her ankles and the coordinated sway of her trunk and torso.
Am I Momzilla?
she wondered.
Belief in beauty motivated me to drop the weight and boost my health, but I've always shoved aside questions of whether I exploit my looks, and expect them to get me what I want.
Right down to the core,
she persisted
. Sam and I are deep in love, but would that have started without physical attraction?
Opening the front door brought her to the here-and-now. Despite open windows, houseplants, and ceiling fans, the air indicated Very Recent Diaper Change. It also carried a high, happy cackle that drowned out something Sam was saying. Kendra's smile seemed to rise from her soul and spread through her entire self.
She freed her feet from the skates and tracked the guys down in the kitchen, where she also found the household's other male. Nuggins had been even more perplexed by Jeremy than by Sam, but the gray cat had made his peace with this new creature.
There was a complex tripartite interaction involving a big foam rubber ball that better not go in Jeremy's mouth. Kendra greeted them in Mom-voice as she sat among them. A tooth-minimal smile beamed at her, and hands that were no longer tiny beckoned.
Kendra swept up her son, uncoiling to stand, and kissed and nuzzled and tickled him as she got to the rocking chair. Sam followed, aware of the routine: lowering the zipper on the back of her halter, getting a receiving blanket to drape on her shoulder.
Kendra eased into the rocker and freed a breast. "Poor Jeremy," she cooed, securing his body in the crook of her elbow as his mouth found her nipple. "You'll grow up associating your mother's sweat with happiness."
"I got dibs," said Sam. "I was making you sweat long before he came along."
Their racy banter had never abated, even during the first two months, when her sex drive had often been in a fog. While she expected that the oxytocin rushes she had enjoyed during sex would connect strongly now with lactation, they were still disorienting at first. As they became more routine, she enjoyed husband cuddling more actively. This indication of renewed libido gave her confidence that it would increase. And it had, with each passing week, and each bang with Sam.
Jeremy, coached and conditioned by his parents to accept sleep when it summoned him, already had closed eyes when his lips and cheeks stopped moving. Silently and smoothly, Kendra got him into the crib and Sam cleaned up his face as much as necessary.
Soon the parents sat on the patio with liquid refreshment, and the crib monitor in view.
"How d'you feel about tonight?" Sam asked casually. He was, nonetheless, checking in.
"Waaayy up for it," she said. "I've got months of breastfeeding ahead, so I'll just deal with it. I'll express before we leave, and bring a bikini top and lots of tissue if things get too gross."
They made dinner at home and, in order to direct their friskiness outward, they showered separately. Kendra spent probably too much time looking in the mirror as she dried off, knowing that Sam wouldn't go get the sitter until Kendra was out, and able to keep tabs on the again-awake Jeremy.
