All About Family – 12/6

OK I’ll probably totally have second thoughts about this post and take down the photo of me, but I found these when digging for some other ones.

Last night we were at our neighbor’s awesome Christmas party and Nichole and I were chatting about our pregnancies. She had toxemia and gained like 130+ lbs! Poor thing! I gained 55+ pounds with Jacob and Claire and retained SO much fluid – it was horrible! Here are my feet before bed one night (those are Jacob’s feet at the top). They were so puffy and sore! I had to sleep with them elevated at night in hopes that by the morning they swelling would be a little better. My hands looked like that too! And she still wasn’t born until 11/21/98 – like 1-1/2mos after this photo.This is fatty me – August 1998 (I *think* we used one of these for our Christmas photo – eek! I can’t remember for sure though)And this is the photo I’ll probably end up taking down. Have you ever seen uglier maternity pants? haha! This was taken 22 days before Claire was born. OK, so that’s like the worst of the worst of the photos…..uggh! Here’s Scott and I on our wedding day – Sept 7th, 1991 – and this was our very first Christmas card – for 1991.

And my awesome family – dad, mom, my brothers James & Jon, and my little sis Kate. Love you guys!
Good night!

Kim, Bryan, Ethan & Peanut - I hear you one the retaining fluid….I think my ankles are 10 times worse than that….and the scaring part is they are better this pregnancy than the last…good thing this baby is coming out on Friday. You give me hope though that I can loose this weight and look good after 2 kids.
