Yesterday we celebrated Hailey\u2019s 1 week birthday!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1649\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an amazing week and she is doing wonderfully.  We had a follow up appointment at the lactation consultant and they confirmed that she\u2019s a great eater.  They want babies to be back at birth weight by 10 days old.  Well our little peanut weighed 7 lbs 1 ounce at birth, left the hospital at 6 lb 11 ounces and is now up to 7 lbs 8.6 ounces! I knew those cute cheeks were filling out \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Hailey is a great baby so far. She is letting me sleep from 10:15pm-2:15am and again from 3:00am-7:15am. It\u2019s much more sleep than I was ever expecting!  (She stayed in this position as I began unswaddling her- so stinkin\u2019 cute!)<\/p>\n

Ok, ok, enough bragging on baby- let\u2019s get to the dirt.<\/p>\n

Hailey\u2019s 1 week birthday meant 1 week post partum for me, and I was interested in seeing what my body had done.  Here\u2019s the info.<\/p>\n

A couple days before I was induced I took my weight and measurements.  We all remember what I looked like:<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s what I look like 1 week post partum.<\/p>\n

\"1<\/a>\"1<\/a>\"1<\/a><\/p>\n

Although it was tempting, I didn\u2019t allow myself to suck in \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

First off, someone remind me to stand up straight- posture, Brittany, posture<\/em>!<\/p>\n

And secondly, here\u2019s the numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\nBefore Delivery<\/td>\n1 Week Post Partum<\/td>\nDifference<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Right Arm<\/td>\n10.75\u201d<\/td>\n10\u201d<\/td>\n-.75\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
High Waist<\/td>\n33.5\u201d<\/td>\n31.5\u201d<\/td>\n-2\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Hips<\/td>\n41\u201d<\/td>\n39.5\u201d<\/td>\n-1.5\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Right Thigh<\/td>\n23.5\u201d<\/td>\n22.5\u201d<\/td>\n-1\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Right Calf<\/td>\n13.75\u201d<\/td>\n13\u201d<\/td>\n-.75\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Weight<\/td>\n143.5 lbs<\/td>\n125.5 lbs<\/td>\n-18 lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m really pleased with the progress! I haven\u2019t done any exercise, as my body is still healing.  I\u2019m walking around easily and am fine going up and down stairs, but no walks yet.<\/p>\n

Plus, I\u2019ve been eating well\u2026 like reallllly well, thanks to mom!<\/p>\n

I debated how much to share of the numbers, but in the end I decided it\u2019s my blog and I\u2019ll blog what I want. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

You shared my journey as I got bigger, and I want to share with you still as I get back to my fighting weight. PLUS<\/em>, let\u2019s be honest, I\u2019m hoping you can help hold me accountable.<\/p>\n

From here on out I plan on doing monthly progress updates\u2026<\/p>\n

Are these something you are interested in reading?<\/strong><\/p>\n
