It wasn't pretty, but(t) I actually put on a pair of my regular blue jeans yesterday and managed to both zip and button them! They are still not what one would consider ready for public consumption, but nonetheless, I got them on!
And while we're on the topic of butts, I think I set a new milestone in the land of mommy-dom. I spent the entire evening with spit-up on my ass. Yes, that's right: on my ass. Not on my chest. Not on my tummy. Not on my shoulder. My ass. To pull off this trick, one should have a particularly fussy, reflux-y infant on hand. When she spits up a big mess of mucousy blech onto the rag on your shoulder, wait just long enough for it to run down the back of your shoulder, past the boppy pillow where it can miraculously pool just on your ass - somehow leaving the sofa unscathed. The next step is easy: just don't care enough to change your clothes for the rest of the night.

A small note of contention: (If you're not a big dork, as I am, this will not interest you.)
Me responded in my last post that the Associated Press Stylebook dictates that you should use an apostrophe for the plural form of acronyms. I beg to differ.
According to my AP Stylebook (which is admittedly the 2000 edition), I find the following:
Under the Punctuation Guide for Apostrophe:
"DO NOT USE: For plurals of numerals or multiple-letter combinations. See plurals."
Under the entry for Plurals:
"FIGURES: Add s: The custom began in the 1920s. The airline has two 727s. . ."
"MULTIPLE LETTERS: Add s: She knows her ABCs. I gave him five IOUs. Four VIPs were there."
If something has changes, though, Me, please let me know.
Thanks, Management
