Adieu adieu adieu

So, bye bye oxygen!!! My baby is good to go! We've had her off the O2 since 6:30am Tuesday morning and she has been just FINE!! She is now officially an infant!! (The nurses were saying that she was still a fetus until she was off the O2....)

I had a Dr appt yesterday and had the stitches taken out of the edges of the incision, that felt weird, and Dr. Williams said that I'm looking GREAT! I can't really explain just how swollen I was! I mean, I have lost almost 40lbs b/c of all the water I was retaining! My face almost looked like a tomato it was so round, and now it's back to normal!! I finally feel pretty again! (Still can't wear my rings but I'm working on it!)

I've started working out...very slowly! I've been on the bike riding it for a couple of days and did Turbo Jam with Shane the other day. Of course I didn't even get my heart rate up at all but at least I've started! My goal is to lose at least 20lbs before summer. (I want to lose MORE than that but that's just to begin with...) I've been eating really well and drinking tons of water so I'm optimistic! I'll put pictures up sometime. I am just the most lazy person I know!

Mom will be coming out with Aunty Olivia in 2 weeks! I know they are really excited and so am I! Shane just can't wait to be the only man in a house full of women! HAha! Poor thing! I wouldn't be surprized if he spends more time at work now!!!

I lost about that with water retention too... It was the best way to lose weight (gone almost over night!!) ha ha. I'm so happy to hear that baby Makenzie is off oxygen and doing well. Please take lots of pictures of her!
