The numbers

Well its a start but its a sad start. I took my measurements tonight. I am so sad, I can't believe how much my body has changed this pregnancy. I am bigger than I have ever been in my life. The bedrest and weight gain of course were worth it for my baby, but still its a hard reality to accept.

Ankle: 9.5o inches
Calf: 16 inches
Thigh: 26 3/4 inches
Hips: 51 inches (wow)
Waist: 40 inches
Breasts: 45 1/2 inches (go milk boobies)
neck: 14 1/4 inches
Upper Arm: 13 1/2 inches

Arms and legs are the lefts. I will remeasure again in a month. I hope to see some changes.

The Baby is here!

Our little one made his arrival on Febuary 1st. At 9lbs and 8oz he suprised me being the easiset of my children to deliver. My milk is finally in, and the breastfeeding is in full force. Its time to start my breastfeeding diet. I am 2 weeks post partum. I am almost 5'7" (come on isn't 5' 6" 3/4) close enough? The morning of my induction I weighed 230, and today I was 215. So to get to my 150 goal I have a lot of work to do. I have decided to try to follow the Weight Watchers Breastfeeding program. I get 37 points, wooo hooo thats a lot of points. I will be starting off with just dietary changes and will add exercise at 4-6 weeks post-partum. I hope to have some before pictures soon.
