Ouch. You should see the stretch marks. I showed them to my sister, and she looked horrified. I’ve lost thirty so far, but I’d like to be down to 140, which is ten pounds lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s a slow process, but I think I can do it.

I had my huge baby (9lb, 13oz) on Friday June 2nd at 6:12 am. He was THREE WEEKS LATE!!! It’s a boy: Avi Rhys Olin Gibler. He’s now four and a half weeks old and weighs over 11 pounds. Not fat, just loooong. I’m so glad we finally made it!
Ultrasound Day!
3 years ago
Baby weighs in at 8 oz, and is definately a mover and a shaker. My cousin (the U/S tech) says she was sure of the gender, but as Ryan couldn’t make it to the appointment (had to work all day 100 miles away), she wrote it down and put it in an envelope for us to open together later. We also videotaped the scan, so I can show him 15 minutes of footage. Baby looks great!
