This post is long overdue. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. Part of me felt embarrassed to write it because for some reason I thought I shouldn’t have felt the way I did. Part of me didn’t really know exactly how I felt. Now that I’m “normal” I can look back on Ryan’s first month and really see what I went through. It’s hard though, because it’s all a little blurry. I was depressed and that makes it hard to remember. Plus, I was Keep Reading Baby Blues…or something like that I’m going to post some comparison pictures of what I’m trying to get back to.… This was taken on Valentine’s Day in 2009… 2.5 months before I got pregnant: And this was on St. Patty’s Day in March, 2009, at a friend’s wedding… a few weeks before I got pregnant: Okay… I was about 116 lb pre-pregnancy. As of 12 weeks post-cesarean, I am about 123… 7 pounds to Keep Reading Body After Baby: 12 weeks post-cesarean Whew, time flies! First, I want to thank all my readers for sticking around through this New Mom Event. I got wayyy more sponsors than I thought I would and underestimated how long it’d take me to get through all of them (while taking care of a newborn).

Keep Reading Life and Body After Baby: 8 weeks post-partum I’m not sure why I’m sharing this with the world, haha, but I really don’t care about my weight and know some new preggos are curious what happens post-baby. I started at 116 lb. before getting pregnant… I gained 30 pounds, putting me at 146. I weighed myself after coming home from the hospital… probably about one week post-partum: 140 lb. Down 6 pounds?! But the baby’s weight 7 lb 9 oz! Shouldn’t I be down AT LEAST that much?! Like I said… Keep Reading Body After Baby: weight loss Alright.… I do believe I ended up with a c-section because of my decision to get an epidural. As I said in my first birth story post, I don’t regret the epidural. I can’t. The pain was unbearable. So in that sense, I guess I should be ok with the ending c-section. But I also strongly feel that I was talked into it. I was worn down. And… after sitting in the hospital for 24 hours, I was exhausted. For some women, an epidural helps labor Keep Reading C-Section thoughts and advice |
