Losing and Finding My Way...

BABY IS HERE!!!! and I have some weight to lose.

So, I have been getting asked for some updates and here it is: Trevor James was born on July 17th at 3:43 am, 6lbs 12 oz (he was so much smaller than the docs thought he would be, they were guessing 8-8.5 lbs). He is perfect and beautiful and looks more like his daddy than me, WTH??? LOL

So there you have it... and if you have to do the math, I was almost exactly 39 weeks (plus one day). And I swear the beach is what brought him on as we went the day before I went into labor. HAHA

As for the weight end, um, I gained about 35-40 pounds while I was pregnant with him which wasn't too bad and now I don't have a clue how much I weigh. I have been losing a good amount of weight 1) because there is no longer a baby and everything that comes along with him sitting in my belly 2) a lot of my swelling has gone away and 3) I think there really is something to breastfeeding and losing weight; not to mention I am supposed to eat 500 calories more than 'normal' and I don't have the appetite for all that...
Sooo, I am going to wait for an official weigh in at my postpartum checkup and then go from there. Hoping, once this freakin' hot ass weather moves out that I can take my baby out for a walk and walk off some of my butt and thighs, ugh. I have already started watching what I am eating but like I said, my appetite is not huge so I'll have some ice cream here and there for the calcium and the calories :clearing throat: TEE HEE

I will be home for another 7 weeks so there should be no reason why I can't keep up on my blog and I am hoping to at least be at my pre-preggo weight by the time I go back to work, or even under that as it was already high from the honeymoon- ugh.

So there's the update!!!!
