Weigh Me Wednesday

I was watching the show "Kendra" last night and had a smirk on my face.  It wasn't because the show was great even though I do like the show for some reason, it was because I was so happy to see that Kendra is a "normal" person and mom.  She was 2 months postpartum and had a belly just as I do now.  I've had 3 kids and feel like I should not have my belly already even though I am only 3 weeks … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday

Ok I was definitely naiive thinking this weight was going to fall right off of me.  What was I thinking??  I am down another 2 lbs, which makes it 17 lbs, but it is coming off slower than I had anticipated and remembered with my other 2 children.  I know- I am only 2 weeks postpartum is what you are thinking, but we've definitely got a long way to go baby!  I am finally starting to feel better, … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday (Finally on the Decline!)

Well, as I posted last week, Baby Gage decided to enter this world 1.5 weeks early and thank goodness since he was a big boy!  I expected to leave the hospital at least 15 lbs. lighter.  It NEVER happened!  I was only down 5 lbs.  How is that possible since he was 9 lbs. alone?  I was full of water annd fluids!  My feet and body were so swollen and still are a bit swollen.  So, a week later, I am … [Read more...]

The Baby is Here!

I am going to have to skip my update of my weight this week. I can report there was a huge weight loss though as I went into labor Sunday night. I felt my first contraction around 8:45 and they were 3-4 mins. apart and hard. At 3:13 am Monday (3/8) we welcomed our baby BOY (yes...it was a boy!)...Gage Ryan. He is a whopper at 9 lb. and 22". He's my biggest baby and my last. We are headed home … [Read more...]

Weigh me Wednesday (Two Weeks Left…Can You Believe it?)

Can you believe I only have 2 weeks left?  Oh my goodness!  I can't!  I am dilated 3 cm, so we are making progress, but too bad it is taking longer than hoped.  I FINALLY gained 1 lb. within the past 6 weeks.  Don't get me wrong- I am not complaining that's for sure!  I am surprised how much I slowed down since I was gaining so quickly previously.  Are you ready to start losing the weight again if … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday

It has been 5 weeks and I have not gained a single pound!  The baby is measuring on schedule though, so there is no concern.  I always gain my weight in the beginning and slow in the end.  I'll take it.  I am still only 2 cm dilated, but my husband is away this week, so I hope the little one stays in for at least another week.  I have 3 weeks left anyways, so there is definitely time.  It is going … [Read more...]
