Before and After

Before delivery.............

8 weeks after delivery

Losing is winning

So 6 weeks after delivery I was down 45lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. My highest I ever was at 360 and at 6 weeks I was 314. I hope by the time I go back to work I'm below 300. I've made a lot of new friends and have a lot of support. Not to mention the inspiration in my arms everyday.

Problems

She was born with low blood sugar. She had jaundice and had to be on a UV light bed for 2 days. I cried when we put her on the bed. I could only take her off to feed her. She was my little glow baby. She also failed her hearing test. But we still went home on time and now all is well. Well except her hearing we still have to find out whats wrong with that.

Early Bird

On November 29th I went in for a usual NST. My baby girl was not active. They sent me to labor and delivery. I wasn't scared. I thought I would just be monitored and sent home. Michael left work and met me at the hospital. Her heartbeat was fine but she still wasn't moving. The decided she was well enough to try to induce me. It was a rough night I couldn't sleep well with all the monitors on me. I went 12 hours without eating. They gave me something to help me sleep. Michael was by my side the entire time. The next morning they check to see if I was dilating and I wasn't. The doctor suggested that I have a c-section. He knew that wasn't what I wanted but there was something obviously wrong since she wasn't moving. I agreed to have the c-section. I expected to have some time to think about what was about to happen but I didn't. At 10am I was prepped for the c-section. My water broke right after they gave me the epidural. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. It didn't take long for our little girl to join the world. She got to spend the first 30mins in her daddy's arms. With her little foot print on his hand. She was here a day short of December.
