24 pounds in 10 days!

Yep, that's right. I've lost 24 pounds in the last 10 days. I wish I could just leave it at that. So, I had an almost 9 pound baby...and all the things that come with that....so that accounts for about 13 pounds. Then the other 11 were dropped because our little angel eats like a champ. She's been eating almost every hour today. If I could permanently hook her up, I think she'd finally be satisfied! I've dropped 24 out of the 28 pounds I gained.

So, this is probably one in a very few times I'll ever be able to say that I lost so much weight in such little time...and I really had nothing to do with it. Too bad I was about 30 pounds overweight before I got pregnant. Guess I'll be happy when I'm at my wedding day weight. yeah...you won't see a post again about that for - oh, maybe 10 years....after we're done having kids. Then, the post you'll see will be entitled "Long-Lost Pipe Dream."

Here are some more pictures of the little milk monster... gotta keep up with the Aunt and Uncle theme....

With her Aunt Kelly (due July 1st, 2007)

And her Aunt Jo and Uncle Deric (due January 31st, 2007)

That is great Rachel!!! Remember how many calories you're burning everytime Lorelai latches on. It's like running a marathon every day.

I think I've picked up your 24 pounds in the last 10 days. Heehee! The Nipple Nazi will be so pleased.
