Where have I been?

Snuggling this precious face right here!
And here's some recent pictures of Zander. He's 11 days old.


Since coming home from the hospital my days (and nights) are spent breastfeeding every 2 hours, changing diapers, helping Violet to adjust to having a sibling and recovering from labor.

Today I woke up and felt better. I had some extra energy so I decorated our mantle for Christmas. I had been so focused on counting down the days until my due date that Christmas has been an after thought. I need to get busy wrapping gifts and such!

It's challenging to keep up with a blog with a newborn in the house. But I do miss attempting to look fabulous, taking pictures and reading all of your lovely blogs. Once the Holidays are over I think I will start doing some weight loss blogs. I should be able to start working out by then and I can't wait! I gained 43 pounds this pregnancy. I figured I would gain a lot since I gained 55 with my first baby. So far, I've already lost 22 pounds since having Zander last week. Who wants to be weight loss buddies?!

I would love to be your weight loss buddy. I had my son 22 months ago and can't seem to shed this extra 20 pounds. I was 120 before I got pregnant with my son only to blow up to a whopping 195 pounds. That was a shock to my body. My son weighed in at 10 pounds. I am not really a work out person but I need to start. You look fabulous by the way and your son is a doll.

Miss T- Yes, I love seeing the pounds drop right now! It's crazy.

E- I know how you feel. It took me forever to lose weight after my first baby. I'm trying to motivate myself to lose it faster this time. Any ideas?
