61 lbs down :)

schonkreuz · June 2013

I had my son on February 15th and up until this point I hadn't kept track of my weight during my pregnancy, after all i was pregnant! Why should I worry about the scale when I was making a little miracle. I hadn't noticed the change in my body, I had gained 32 lbs which would not have been so bad if I was not already 245. The nurse came in the next morning and weighed me (the had fancy beds that all you had to do was stand for a moment then get back in, very convenient after a c-section!) she recorded the number but it was until I asked that she polity said, "277". My heart sank, it was at that moment while I waited to be able to go walk to see my baby in the NICU that I promised that if my baby had to fight to be in this world I would be healthy to be with him. Sadly due to complications with my incisions (which is still partially open 4 months pp) I have not been able to exercise, although I must say I have done fairly well considering.

I apoligize for the crummy pics, I'm one of those people who seems to only buy black clothing. I felt like if I wore bright colors people would notice me :ohwell: The first picture is at my baby shower, I was one month pp and never saw the picture until my aunt put it on facebook about a month ago. When I saw it I cried, had I really looked like that? The second picture I just took, last time I checked I was 215 and so obviously I still have a ways to go but I think a difference is very noticible.

edit: Apparently the picture is too big so you will have to open it in another window. Sorry!

You look fantastic!

I love the hair in both pictures, but especially the second one. That's the type of cut I always try to go for, but somehow no matter what hair lady I go to they never get it right, and it ends up looking like a cut from the 70's. I even show them pictures!! Lol. Love your hair and what you have accomplished. You are an inspiration.

Congrats on your success so far! I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with your c-section. I had two c-sections out of my 3 deliveries. Of those three-- I had two preemies who spent 35+ days in the NICU. Hope your little one is doing well and growing like a weed. If you'd ever like to chat with a former preemie mom, don't hesitant to send me a message.
