What a stupid idea- Waxing
My OB tends to think I am hilarious. Actually, most of my friends think I am pretty funny, too. What isn’t funny is being so damn hairy. Now that I think of it, maybe that is why they laugh at me….. it BETTER not be!
The other day, at our routine checkup, the amazing Dr. Crownover asked me how I was feeling. A blush came over my face and I started to explain:
Jasmine: Dr. Crownover, before you see my belly I have a confession to make…
*Dr. Crownover gave a very medical, yet attentive look…*
Jasmine: So…. as my belly has gotten bigger I have become increasingly insecure about how hairy my belly is. In a moment of weakness I decided I would wax my belly.
*Dr. Crownover’s attentive look melts away and he doubles over in laughter*
Jasmine: Seriously! Don’t laugh. I got into the first strip, and I thought, “Who the hell’s idea was this! But then I was already in over my head and I had to finish it… now it is growing back, and I am all itchy. GAW! What is wrong with me!!!!”
*Garrett interjects*
Garrett: I told her not to be insecure about it. I told her that her body was normal.
Jasmine: Shut up Garrett! You don’t get an opinion! You shaved your face into a trucker “stash” …. people who look like that don’t get opinions on what is normal.
*Side note: Days before Garrett shaved his beard into a handlebar mustache and decided that he loved the trucker look. I laughed at him every time I looked at him. THEN he thought it was an awesome idea to wear it to my appointment. Because, ya know, that look is cool? What! No! It isn’t cool. All he needed was a cut- off flannel shirt and an “I love mom” tattoo… geez!
Dr. Crownover: OH! I didn’t even notice your mustache Garrett, I like it… I like it *Up until this point I believed my OB was a great honest man, now I believe he is a filthy filthy liar!*
My belly itches like an S.O.B and the little red bumps from my shirt rubbing the hair that is growing in is not very pretty… it is actually worse than being hairy. Because now I am hairy/bumpy/red. A dead sexy combination.
*Fast forward to today*
After a vigorous step aerobic workout Sadie and I decided to go to lunch. We talk about a plethora of things. Sadie is smart. She is a real brain. But today, she looked at me with all seriousness, she, “When we get closer to having the babies we should go get our nails done, and then make someone wax our lady parts so we will look all nice for the delivery…”
I evaded the remark. I was having flashbacks of a couple of weeks earlier where I got that dumbass bright idea to wax my belly. I don’t think Sadie and I can be friends if she starts suggesting things like this. Next she will ask me about anal bleaching….
Hey! I would hate to be the hairy lady that Dr Crownover and all the OB nurses laugh about later on! It was a good suggestion…
HAHA!
The problem with waxing is that it causes so much pain in the process, and then you have to wait to get hairy again before you can do it again. I admit, my belly got a bit fuzzy as well, and it’s embarrassing. Luckily, it’s cold, so you don’t need to have your belly showing, right?
Actually Meredith, Jasmine wears a belly baring top at least 2 times a week. She likes to show off her sweet belly ring…
; )
dirty liar!
Three words Laser Hair removal
The otherside is your husband’s love you just the way you are. But the laser hair removal is if you wanted to do something
You gross me out. Please stop talking about my body hair.
Oh ouch and then itchy, hairy is the lesser of those evils.
Everything is true except one thing: That trucker stach was off the hook. I am proud of it.
Weird… I also wrote of the trials and tribulations of body waxing recently. It must be the holidays… always brings warm thoughts of family, comfort foods, pretty lights, hot wax and hair removal. Good times.

When I was prego with my first child I had long hairs growing on my belly , I shaved them off and they kept coming back. But as they grew back it itched I vowed never to do that again with any more pregnancies
I can’t even begin to explain how awful the feeling of waxing your belly is… it was a tragic and dumb idea. It won’t happen again!
