Well, I have been meaning to come back for awhile now to say hello since I had my baby. Unfortunately, life has been hectic. Kylee is now 3 mos old and absolutely beautiful. Since she has been born though I have had my gallbladder removed and my DH's mother passed away. We made a trip down to TN when Kylee was 2 weeks old so his family could see her and then 3 weeks later we were back again for her funeral.

Anyways, I am back now and am super excited about losing some darn weight! I am so encouraged by the people that have lost weight since I was here last! Keep it up chicks!

If you would like to check out some pics of my little angel, here is the url for her gallery on pregnancy.org.

Welcome back, Jennie We kept your special beach chair for you and the cabana boys will have your favoutire drinks ready for Monday morning!

So sorry to hear about your MIL's passing. I think I remember that she had been sick for a long time so perhaps it was a blessing.

I took a boo at the pics but can't seem to get in - "Fatal Error" is a scary thing. I can see the St Paddy pic though - she looks adorable!

I am doing great. DH is a HUGE help around the house and with the little one. He encourages me to go out with my friends for "me" time about once a week. The laprascopic surgery was no big deal. It just stinks that I made it through delivery without being cut only to have to go under the knife a few weeks later! Delivery was a breeze (my friends hate me! LOL!) I was induced, started pushing 7 hrs later and had her out in 20 min of pushing! Not bad for a first timer! The nurse said with the next baby I should probably camp out at the hospital my last week of pregnancy or I may not make it there!

I am not nursing persay- I pump. The latch just wasn't there. My supply isn't great so I supplement with formula, but I figure any amount of breastmilk I can give her is good.
