OK, so it's taken me a bit longer than it should have to post the picutes of my perfect little angel. But anyone that's a mother, certainly understands that I have been pretty occupied with this little one.
Stats:
Natalie Claire Williams
Born on August 31st at 1:04 PM
6 lbs, 15 oz.
19 1/2 inches
I had a NVD, with no complications during pregnancy. I gained a total of 22 lbs, and today (3 weeks after delivery) I am 3 lbs. heavier than I was pre-pregnancy.
I got a partial unfill in my first trimester, and by my second trimester I had thrown all of the band rules out the window. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted, just couldn't eat as much of it. But I have to admit, I gave into whatever cravings I had. I don't regret it. I know that I would have gained at least 60 lbs if I didn't have this glorious band. The hard part will be getting back on the wagon of making good food choices again.
I look at my beautiful daughter and that's all the inspiration I need. I want to be the best, healthiest Mom I can be.
I've had a million mothers tell me what a miraculous experience this would be.....but you really don't "get it" until it happens to you. I've never felt so complete in all of my life.
And now for those pics....
