Baby on the outside

And why the hell is there still so much belly on the inside? This picture was taken the day we came home from the hospital, a whole 4 days after Heidi was born. It is basically the same size it was as when I went into the hospital on Friday. I know people said expect to look like you're 6 months prego but this? this is HUGE lookin...and unfortunately, unlike pregnancy where it is firm and full of baby, it's soft and squishy.

I just weighed myself today...in honor of Donut's one week birthday and well, my mom and Forrest were discussing my weight loss needs during lunch today. My mom stressed how I had to get back in shape in about 6 months otherwise it will never come off while Forrest asked if I had weighed myself yet. Meanwhile they were both guessing at what my current weight was. I am so glad to be a source of amusement for the both of them...lol.

So here's the deal -

• Pre-pregnancy = 135 pounds (my fighting weight and a size 4 to boot!)
• At delivery = 181 pounds (size? who knows when all I wear are PJs)
• One week post delivery = 170 pounds (bleh...)

I had a goal of running a marathon in December as my weight loss / get back in shape plan, but we'll have to see how the healing goes because I am not sure if I can make that distance or not just yet.
