Gaining a baby and losing some weight!

August 30, 2009 The day I met my little buddy. I was pumped that he was here and super pumped that I don't look huge here. He can look back and not see a super fat aunt, but an aunt who is healthy and loves him.
September 1, 2009. I liked this picture because even though he is covering my tummy up, I actually look smaller up top in my shoulders and "lady" area.

September 5, 2009. My new man. I heart him! And I'm so glad that when I hold him you can still see mostly him instead of how huge I am because I"m not huge anymore. :)



September 8, 2009. Probably my favorite picture so far. I'm glad I have a jawline that you can see, smaller everything and that I'm holding THE cutest kid in the whole world.

So, I posted my last blog the Saturday night before my sister had the baby. She was due to go in for a c-section on Monday, but her water broke on Sunday instead and now we are so blessed to have the cutest baby in the whole wide world in our lives. He is perfect!

So, when the baby got here, I went into worry mode. Of course I was already worried to death about the whole birth experience for my sis, but when it was all just so quick, it made me more nervous. I turned to candy and gained a pound last week. Apparently I have down the not eating because I'm happy thing, but I am still having problems with eating when I have a super worrisome situation. But I talked to my Jenny consultant about it all, learned from it, moved on and wound up losing 2 pounds this week! Wooo!

So, I spent the weekend with my sis and the new baby. And of course did some shopping :) I really like being able to buy new clothes that are cute and fit and are trendyish. I went to my favorite store and was overwhelmed with the fact that I can shop 3/4ths of the store now with all of the cute stuff instead of just the 1/4th of it for the big girls. I also cried when I tried on this top that has a fitted belt and for the first time really really realized and felt that I was smaller and actually have somewhat of a figure. It's a great feeling. So then I spent the rest of the weekend feeling super skinny and just awesome. hehe

Ok, I kinda feel conceited that I talked a lot about me when there is a baby in the picture now, but I guess since this blog is about me being B.I.G. and P.H.A.T I need to be a little conceited in all my hard work. haha
