5 Days Postpartum!

Our little miracle, Caleb Blake Haines, arrived on January 10, 2008 at 8:26 a.m. He weighed 8 pounds 1 ounces and measured 21 1/4 inches. He is so beautiful and perfect. We feel overwhelmingly blessed and are so happy to have Caleb in our life now. To read about my labor and delivery experience, click here!

So, let's talk about pregnancy weight. I gained a total of 56 pounds in my pregnancy. However, today I stepped on the scale to see that I have lost 23 of it, so I now have 33 to go! I was so pleasantly surprised.

2 days postpartum: lost 14 lbs
4 days postpartum: lost 8 lbs more, total of 22 lbs
5 days postpartum: lost 1 lb more, total of 23 lbs

My belly gets smaller daily. I still look pregnant and I keep waiting for someone to mistakenly say, "When's the baby due?" I will feel bad for that person, because I will be like, "Um... I just had him last week," and then they will feel silly. :)
