Changes in shape

I made this drawing from my imagination, before I understood much about recovering from childbirth.  I thought the man got bigger around the middle, too, as maybe he was eating more as he waited for the birth of his baby.  I thought the man's bigger belly would linger after the baby arrived. Now I know the woman's belly takes time to go back to normal. Now that I am a grandmother married to a grandfather, I see our bellies are not so trim.  We are talking and working on getting our bellies in better shape.  We are also anticipating a birth of a grandchild.
