I see you, baby

It's a good day to have a good day. Starting a family can break your heart. It can give you the tingles (or a full-blown orgasm—your choice). It can focus your mind at work. It can give you strength you didn't even know you had. This is just the very beginning of parenthood's many transformations. Motherhood is going to look amazing on you. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Speaking of looking amazing, check out the lingerie we love for hot baby-making sex. You wild thang.
