Gretta’s Life After Baby

Gretta’s Life After Baby
Aired on: June 27, 2011February 2, 2011

Gretta is back in the studio and this time in addition to showing off the latest fashions, she has an extra-special new dazzler at her side - her son Kai Rei! "Come see me!" raves 'Auntie' Rachael, as Gretta hands her the cute and cuddly boy. "His middle name is Rei," Rachael notes, "so it's the Rei / Ray team!" She gives him a hug and then asks the new mom if parenthood is much different than she had expected.

"A lot, it's a complete life change!" says Gretta, since giving birth in October. "You're learning things and you're learning about yourself, but it's honestly the most blissful period, too!" She's now gearing up to head back to the office and juggle her career and family. "I'm nervous. Can I do it? Can I go back to all the jobs that I'm used to doing? Can I do things as well? And I know other women do it, so I've just got to get in there and take a look around and figure it out!" she says. "I want to work. I love my work, it was never an option for me to do mommy only, I respect that option, but it wasn't something that I felt was being true to myself."

She's trying to get the morning routine down, adding Kai's feedings and play time to her own preparations as she gets ready for work. "To all the mommys that I said, 'You can do this and you can do that,'" Gretta says, "I owe you all an apology, because now you've got me back. I've lived it, it's a big change! I mean, your entire world is upside down!"

Now that Gretta can relate firsthand to the moms she has been helping with makeovers over the years, Rachael asks her fashion buddy if she is ready to head back to the salon for one more! Gretta is eager to get started and offers to help a viewer trade her sweats for a sexier look! Click here for Gretta's latest new mom makeover.
