She's here

Shelby arrived on March 2nd at 7:56pm, she weighed 7bs 6oz and was 19 inches long. She was due on February 20th and after seeing the doctor on my due date and being as big as I was they scheduled me to be induced on March 3rd. That would have been 11 days past my due date, they wanted to see if I would go into labor by myself. Well at about 6:15am on March 2nd I started to get contractions, I went to the doctors office and from there they sent me to the hospital. To make a long story short, I labored for 10 hours (yes i had drugs) I never made it past 6 centimeters and every time I has a contraction her heart rate was dropping. So they took me in for a c-section, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The recovery kinda sucked, I couldn't get in and out of bed by myself, and I couldn't bend very well but after 2 or so weeks things were back to normal. Shelby is a month old now and I can't believe how much she had changed in those 4 short weeks. When we first brought her home none of her clothing fit her and now she is starting to fill them out. She is formula feed so she is up to 6oz at a time and is sleeping almost 6 hours between feedings, so I'm hoping that she is going to be sleeping through the night my 8weeks. Anyway that's enough talking about her, here is a picture of my cutie


So like I said its been 4 weeks since she was born, so I decided that it was time to go back to weight watchers. I get weighed tomorrow so hopefully I had a good week. It was harder to get back into it then I thought it would be. I'm up in the middle of night to feed her and it takes everything I have not eat something. I have to get back into weighing my food again, and all that. I'm sure I'll be fine, I mean I have good motivation now. After all I want to be able to run and play with her, and she'll be a toddler before I know it.
