The New Me

So when I was trying to first get pregnant I had a dr. tell me that if I ever got pregnant I would be 300 pounds. Well when I got pregnant with Hannah-Joy I worked really hard and only gained 10 -12 pounds and she was 8 pounds when she was born. 

When I found out I was pregnant with twins, for the first 4 and 1/2 months I was so sick that I worked hard at eating then I got a stomach bug that caused me to loose every pound that I had gained and then I got to the point that I had no room to eat, then I ended up being diabetic so it was crazy.  Well all in all I started my pregnancy and only gained 1 pound.  When I delivered the twins they were both 5 pounds so that was 10 pounds right there and I continued to loose. 

I am happy to announce that 2 months post baby I am down almost 40 pounds and that is just an amazing feeling, I am going to do something I said I would never do and I am going to post pictures of me and only me. You wonder why I am choosing to do this on Valentine's Day well that's because me loosing weight and getting healthy is the best Valentine I can give to myself and my family.

This was me the morning I was delivering Hannah-Joy

This was taken 3 weeks before I delivered the Twins

This is me now and unfortunately this dress is huge on me but I can definitely
see a huge difference in me since this dress is a large and I was in a XXL


So Happy V-Day to myself and my family, I promise to continue to get healthy to be the Mom that I need to be to my 3 beautiful girls and also to be the wife that I can continue to be to Brian!
