She has arrived! On November 26, 2008 I went to the doctor to have an ultrasound done because my due date was November 24th. They wanted to check the measurements of the baby. The ultrasound said that she was 9 lbs 12 oz and that her abdomen and shoulders were bigger than normal. The doctor was afraid that her head would come out but not the rest of her, which would have been a nightmare. So, she sent me to the hospital to have a c-section that same day.

Leah Elisabeth was born on November 26th at 2:50 p.m. She was 9 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long.

I weighed 190 lbs when I went in to have her. I'm down to 160 lbs almost 2 weeks later. Obviously I'm not allowed to exercise after having a c-section for 6-8 weeks. However, nursing burns lots of calories. I haven't been the best with my eating lately but I haven't been horrible. I'm hoping to get a little more strict with the diet this week and take advantage of the calories being burned by nursing a lot to replace the exercise.

I have no clothes to wear since I was a size 8 before she was born. So, I have summer maternity clothes and one pair of jogging pants that I wear everyday. (don't worry, I do wash them) lol
