Bigger and Smaller

So I decided that I am going to start keeping better track of my baby weight loss. I told myself I wasn't going to do any serious dieting or exercise until at least 6 weeks (thanks to the c-section the exercise thing is definately out) but I am curious to see how I am doing. I am embarrased to admit I gained a LOT more this pregnancy then I wanted to... however it wasn't because I ate horrible food. In fact I tried all sorts of different eating habits and nothing seemed to change how much or little I gained. In the 1T I had to eat almost 24/ or else I felt sick, and then in the 2T and most of the 3T I was hungry all the time. I tried to eat healthy foods, but still, at my 42 week appointment I was up 53lbs. Yes, 53. Not a number I am proud of, but it is what it is. My last weight was at 234 and I started out this pregnancy weighing 180. 

As of this morning I am 198! So, while I still have quite a way to go, I am happy that the weight is coming off. Of course I still also have to loose the 15lbs I gained while trying to get pregnant so that puts my total current weight loss goal at 30lbs. Honestly I'm okay with this. I know I still have quite a way to go, but its only been 4 weeks so I am not stressing about anything yet. Now if in 4 or 5 months I still have this much weight to loose its gonna be another story! Hopefully in 2 weeks I will get the OK to start exercising again and then I will get back into tracking my food and get the rest of this baby weight gone!

So while I am getting smaller my little man is getting bigger! Today I pulled out the 3 - 6 month clothes and began to wash them because his 0 - 3 months are just getting smaller and smaller. He's getting so big so quickly!!! I just want to stop him from getting bigger. I was looking at a picture of him in the hospital and I can see how chubby his face is getting!! Everyone told me they'd get big really quick but sometimes I feel like every morning he wakes up and looks bigger!

Now I have to go get things ready... my parents are actually coming today! Their flight is in the air! I'm so excited. =)
