So, here we are...

I wanted to title this blog THE SHAPE OF A MOTHER but it was already taken and I absolutely appreciate the site, so I couldn't do that. I know that I'm currently overweight, but I HAD A BABY, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?

I had my son Connor 2 months ago on Feb 18th, 2008. I had a emergency c-section so needless to say, I wasn't able to do anything (physically) for 6 weeks. Then, 6 weeks to the day, I had emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder after a 6 day stay in the hospital with an inflamed liver & pancreas. I am JUST NOW able to resume normal activities from that surgery.

Let me tell you, it has been an experience I will never forget, nor one that I care to repeat.

So, here we are...

Pre-pregnancy weight: 154 lbs
Highest pregnancy weight: 190 lbs
Goal Weight: (short term) 150lbs (long term) 130 lbs
Current weight: 170 lbs
Total gain/loss: -20 lbs

Here is the little guy who made being a little fatter than I'd like a little more bearable

Currently: Me, with Connor (I'll get better "Before & After" pics later)
