I currently weigh 13 more pounds than I did prior to becoming pregnant. The weight just fell off because I have not missed any meals
Mr A. says I'm a snapper because I snapped back. I'm guessing my boobs which are full of milk weigh about 5 pounds.
I still have a belly. Maybe a 3 month preggers belly. Yesterday I was standing outside a full elevator and someone said- "hey there's enough room for the pregnant lady." I smiled. She was trying to be helpful so I didn't want to tell her I'd had the baby. When I left the hospital I had a 7 month pregnant belly.
No one told me I'd have contractions post pregnancy. Apparently those help get your uterus back to its original size. I guess my organs still have to shift back to their normal placement which is why a still have some belly. It took months for everything to shift so it makes sense that it would take weeks to shift back
The belly comes in kinda handy. When I place my baby on my chest, the belly gives me a place to rest her body.
Something I always wanted was a dimple. As a child I would stick my finger in my cheek trying to form one. My mother and all my siblings have deep dimples. Mr A. has dimples- which until I pointed them out he seemed oblivious to owning. I was pleased to see that TR has a deep dimple too.
Life is to be lived with purpose. Fulfillment of that purpose requires strategy. The strategy I'm using is an Art. The Art of War.

Our Angel Is Here
These words are to the full song but I prefer the abbreviated and live version I linked. We've been granted a gift from heaven in our precious baby girl.
Tell me have you heard the story
That took place not long ago
Bout an angel up in heaven
They say she up and ran away from home
Word is she had unfinished business
So back on earth she had to flee
Well you know I'm so elated
Because she's laying right here next to me
And when God woke up that morning
And he called out her name
And when she did not answer
Heaven will never ever ever be
Heaven will never be the same
Never be the same
Always dreamed that it would happen
I just didn't know exactly when
All my life I'd been waiting for something amazing
Said it took a while but now I know
So tell me can I get a witness
If you believe in miracles
And the proof I have is living
And my life will never ever be
And your life don't have to be the...
At times it seems we take for granted
How precious life can be
Just hold on and I'm sure you'll understand it
Bringing into this world
A precious boy or girl...And when God woke up that morning
Said where has my little angel gone
And when she didn't an...answer
Heaven will never ever ever be
Heaven will never be the....same
Yeah....Yeah
More later.
