I never posted any pregnancy photos on my blog out of sheer laziness so I wanted to post one of the last pics that I took of my monstrous belly for posterity. This was taken on my due date and I was HUGE. It's hard to imagine that there was an almost 10 pound kid in there plus a placenta that was just as big as she was. Even though I was large, it just doesn't seem possible to have all of that tucked into my body. I am sad to see the belly all gone now but it sure does feel good to be able to breathe again. I will post a before/after pic on Friday (that's when I will be 4 weeks post-partum). All of the weight is gone but I still have to get everything back in shape. The OB has me on restrictions until I see her so I cannot exercise or do anything strenuous just yet. The anemia is kicking my butt but hopefully my energy will soon return as my iron levels go back up.
This will be the place to read about my 4 journeys as a gestational surrogate and my hectic life with 2 kiddos. I may even share some recipes from time to time. Check it out frequently for the latest happenings. :)
