My Babies...

I have 3 precious Angels and I'd like to blame the weight on them...but truth be told I CAN'T...I don't know how I managed my weight when I was pregnant but seeing this will let you understand how I can't blame my weight gain on my kid's. Hold your mouse over the photo's to see the captions.

About one week before Dylan was born

When I was pregnant with Dylan in '95 I lost 45 lb's while I was pregnant, then after I had him I lost another 30. I literally walked out of the hospital (after 7 days) weighing less than I had in years. I walked out wearing a body suit and a sun dress I was so happy! I now sleep in the sun dress because it's much too small to wear in public. I gained all the weight I'd lost from having him back within a month or two, I'm sure.

When I was pregnant with Donavan in '97 I gained the normal 30 lb's or so, and from the time he was 1 week I walked EVERY NIGHT non-stop, I remember walking and someone stopping me because they noticed I had the baby, and when they realized how soon I had the baby they told me I shouldn't be walking it was too soon etc. I Kept on walking and lost the 30 lb's I gained during the pregnancy, plus another 20. When Donavan was 1 month old we got order's to move (actually we got them sooner, but we moved when he was barely 1 month), long story short I exercised on the treadmill at the apartment gym every day, after David started to go back to work I just didn't have the time...correction I didn't make the time (at night or early morning) without the kid's. I gained it all plus some back.

When I got pregnant with Cierra in '99 I gained a WHOPPING 5 (yep five) lbs the entire pregnancy, lost 30 or so after I had her and then put it all back plus some more....

My children have been one of my greatest joy's in life, and I'm sure they will continue to be for MANY  MANY years to come. I just wish I could blame being fat on them :0)
