The Ugly Truth

Yesterday I had my 4 week checkup appt with my Dr. Carsyn and my mom accompanied me and she was an angel all day long. I did a little shopping but truthfully it was a hard adjustment trying to shop when I was waiting the whole time for Carsyn to have a temper tantrum. Luckily that did not happen and I ended up with a few things:



I'm not the biggest Tori Spelling fan but this book is super cute. I've already read it to Carsyn-she loved it ;)



Even though this is Louisville colors..ugh..I love this little dress- My post pregnancy body is not so great, but I plan to wear it with leggings and a jacket.

So, back to the Dr visit. I by no means want to be a debbie downer but figured I'd share a little about myself post c-section. As far as healing goes I am feeling pretty well. I have been walking some, but just do not feel like running yet. I plan to give myself a couple more weeks and get into it and my Dr said that was fine, just to take it slow. The area around my incision is a little puffy. I am assured it will go down, but perhaps not as much as I'd like-I guess that push present I've been nagging the hubby for might be a little plastic surgery-Ha! Now onto the weight issue- I have no clue what my pre-pregnancy weight was. I do not own a scale and just always relied on the old fashioned mirror to tell me when I had put on some lbs. My first Dr visit at 12 weeks I weighed 142. I actually think that number might have been a little low as I'd been so sick. My last visit I weighed 174-YIKES!! At my checkup yesterday I was 153. As of now I can wear all of my pre pregnancy clothes except a few pairs of pants and jeans. Its a little depressing but truthfully I am not that upset about it. I'm looking forward to getting back to working out and yoga and running.

I was so excited we ended the day yesterday with a little sushi :)




mmmmm.....Momma is sooo happy!!

  2. Sorry about all your post pregnancy concerns but I'm sure you will be back to your old self again in no time :)

    I had a c-section and the incision is below my bikini line and after it completely healed you can hardly even see it, there is obviously a scar but it is thin and very small. You can also use Mederma to reduce the appearance.

    I love that dress :) where is it from?
