Nothing could have prepared me for motherhood. It's like nothing I've ever imagined. While difficult and demanding at times, it's definitely worth the reward of having that precious little monkey here with us.
I was never too stressed about gaining weight during my pregnancy, as I knew it was all for the good of my little progeny. Total weight gain was 41 lbs. I had been trying to keep it under 40, close enough. The biggest surprise was how little weight I lost by the time I came home from hospital. - a total of 5.6 lbs. Considering our little man weighed in at 6lb 14 oz, I was shocked. I guess being pumped with IV's and pitocin had a bloating impact too.
Quickly the numbers on the scale started changing. I am now down 20 pounds to 193. I've been holding steady at this weight for the past 4 days which is a good thing.
Goal weight: 143 - only 50 more to go!!
