• he's here!!!

   

  He's here! Finally!

  Owen Davis (last name omitted for his privacy of course)

  8 lbs. 6 oz. and 22 inches long

  born April 13th, 2009 @ 10 p.m. exactly

  It was a very very long day. I was induced at 7:30 a.m., and then he never descended more than 3 cm. So I ended up going in for a c-section around 9:30 - and wal-lah - baby Owen has arrived. The c-section was a good thing though- the cord had been wrapped around his neck twice, so there is a reason for everything!

  It's a feeling I could never put into words. I've never felt a love like this. And I don't even remember what life was like before. He's a perfect baby too! He's not a screamer, and he's so good. He only gets up once at night, and breast feeds really well. He hasn't caused me anything painful during breastfeeding.

  I'm so blessed and lucky!!! If you have any questions about delivery or anything just ask you preggo girls. I'll save you the horrific stuff, but I won't sugar coat it either. You need the truth in a time like this!

  So onto what this blog was really about ....

  When I went into delivery I weighed 257 lbs. WHOA! My highest weight ever! But hey - I was 9 months preggers. So today - a month later I weigh 229.5 - pretty good for a month. And so we start the weight loss process all over again. Wish me luck!

  Remember when I list my food and excercise, that I am a new mom - and a breastfeeding one at that. So things will look a little funny, and maybe not so great some days, but I am trying!

  B- Special K Blueberry w/ 2% milk

  L- 1/2 steamfresh garlic shrimp & pasta, Fruit Chiller (frozen fruit sorbet only 55cal!)

  S- apple, 3 cubes of mild cheddar

  D- big green salad, 2 boiled eggs, ranch dressing

  Exercise - 1 mile walk with little guy strapped to me in the snuggli
