I gave birth on May 29 after a pretty quick labor for a first timer - about 8 hours from when I first noticed the contractions (they woke me so I am not exactly sure). All 100% drug free until the stitches after we were done.
Justin was 7 lbs 8 oz and 19 inches long. I attached a few pictures.
I haven't been able to exercise much, besides the squats while pulling on a towel during labor (great upper and lower body workout - haha) I did some walking in the hallways of the hospital a few times a day. Yesterday we went did two laps walking aorund the block and we will go again today once Daddy finishes working.
Diet-wise has been good. Matt keeps shoving food in my mouth while I am feeding the baby. All of it has been healthy, except for my first meal home which was some homemade chicken sausages from my favorite place in the OC.
I said all of that first before I say that I am already down to my pre-GHF measurements. About 9 months before I got pregnant I weighed 190, waist was 37 inches, hips 45 inches, and thighs 26 inches. I lost about 30 lbs, 7 inches in both the waist and hips and 2 inches in the thighs. not sure of the weight, but thats what my measurements are now.
gonna work with Julia over the next few weeks on a new fitness plan. Blogging may be sporadic since I am doing it one-handed sometimes. I'll get a new photo of me up soon.
