[destiny612]

I really want to post lots of pictures up but lately i've been hesitating because whenever i do, they only stay up for about a day or two then they disappear.

I just want to get back into my old jeans. I can't fit a single pair yet. My hips seem to have gotten wider of something.

Hey girl! *hugs* Wow...so good to hear from you again! I was just thinking about you this week too and wondering how you were doing! I'm glad you're back although I'm sure that time spent with your family was fun and much-needed! We really should get together for lunch or dinner again. Awww...Katie-Ann sounds so cute. I can't wait to see her pictures and YOUR pictures as well with your new hair and all. It sounds like so much has changed and I'm quite happy for you and Dennis. I'm bet he's happy to have you and Katie-Ann back home!

I've been really busy too. I haven't had any time to go online much and hardly any time for Lj. However, I was just trying to do my first update since my trip back... and I'll have many more to update since we have TONS of pictures. Hopefully, I'll have time. Can't wait to hear from you!

Hi Jas! Good to hear from you too. I've been doing good and Katie ann has been developing very well. I can't wait til you get to see her again. She's grown a lot and is very chubby now. I'll post pictures soon. Dennis is glad that we're back. I'm surprised that he let us go for so long. He won't let us do that again though cause he missed the baby way too much.

Yes, we must get together again. Maybe go clubbing again too...heehee. I got to do that in South Carolina with my sisters since my mom was able to watch the baby. It's been sooo long since i've gone to any of the clubs down here. The last time was probably last July in 2004.

Hi Tami! So glad you are back and it's great that you got to go spend some time with your family. I always like reading your writing and what you have to say maybe it's because you're a new mom too that why. hehe Can't wait to see more pictures of the baby and how your baby have grown. I still have to loose a little more pregnancy weight myself too.

[destiny612]

I like reading your Lj too. I enjoy sharing the mommy experience with you. It's so much fun seeing how our lil girls grow.

btw..how are you and the baby doing? Are u breast feeding or bottle feeding?

[msthyra]

The baby and I are doing great! I started to breastfeed her but then gave her formula. Too bad my body doesn't produce milk anymore. Are you still breastfeeding?

[destiny612]

I only breastfed for a couple of weeks due to some complications with my baby. She was born with jaundice (yellowing of the skin & eyes) which is very common in newborns, but her levels were higher than average so the doctor told me to formula feed her for awhile because she was loosing weight. After that my milk dried out because i didn't pump my breast. =( Very disappointed with myself because i really wanted to breastfeed her. I will definitely try with my next child though. At least Katie ann was able to get some breastmilk.

I have another 20 lbs. left to lose of pure baby fat so I think we're on the same boat here. I try to walk alot and do my cardio-exercises at the gym as often as I can when I get the chance to. But still very tough however.
I heard it will take up to 4-9 months to be back close to our pre-pregnancy size. Good luck to the both of us!

I would love to swap baby/mom stories with you if you don't mind since we're both new mommies. : )

I have my sons pics posted, you should be able to see from a few days ago.

[destiny612]

Yes "Good luck to the both of us!" We need all the encouragement we can get. I'm glad to know that it takes that long because i was thinking that maybe my body will never loose all the weight. Does it seem like your hips have gotten wider because my jeans will not fit over my hips and i look wider in that area. geez =P

I don't mind at all. It's always good to share stories with one another because we can all learn a lot from one another.

Viewed your son's pic....he's too adorable!

"Does it seem like your hips have gotten wider because my jeans will not fit over my hips and i look wider in that area."

ditto!

none of my jeans fit me right now, and i refuse to buy bigger sizes so that would be my movtiation to lose all the weight around my hip/thigh area. OMG.
my jeans won't fit over my thigh area..haha.

how much weight did you gain total when you were pregos? i gained a total of 42.

[destiny612]

I gained around 35 lbs. Then after giving birth and many weeks later i lost about 15 - 20lbs I still have an extra 15lbs to lose before i get back to my original weight, although it looks like my shape will never be as before =P
