City: Bossier City State: Louisiana | My BEAUTIFUL band baby!
OK, so it's taken me a bit longer than it should have to post the picutes of my perfect little angel. But anyone that's a mother, certainly understands that I have been pretty occupied with this little one.
Stats:
Natalie Claire Williams
Born on August 31st at 1:04 PM
6 lbs, 15 oz.
19 1/2 inches
I had a NVD, with no complications during pregnancy. I gained a total of 22 lbs, and today (3 weeks after delivery) I am 3 lbs. heavier than I was pre-pregnancy.
I got a partial unfill in my first trimester, and by my second trimester I had thrown all of the band rules out the window. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted, just couldn't eat as much of it. But I have to admit, I gave into whatever cravings I had. I don't regret it. I know that I would have gained at least 60 lbs if I didn't have this glorious band. The hard part will be getting back on the wagon of making good food choices again.
I look at my beautiful daughter and that's all the inspiration I need. I want to be the best, healthiest Mom I can be.
I've had a million mothers tell me what a miraculous experience this would be.....but you really don't "get it" until it happens to you. I've never felt so complete in all of my life.
And now for those pics....

As for the bows, the nurses did the red one the day she was born. I asked them the same question: How do you get them to stick?
Don't laugh. KY Jelly. A big glob, stick on the bow, and it dries like glue. But water washes it right out.
I don't even want to know how they thought that one up!

Daisydoodle, congratulation on your precious baby.
She is so beautiful.
I couldn't believe when I read that you only gained 22 lbs! I've never heard of so little weight gain. The doctors never worried or told you, you needed to gain more? Also, you lsot it all but 3 lbs after giving birth. You are so luck and my new hero!! I hope I have such happy, healthy pregnancy and as little weight gain when I am pregnant:-)

Oh, WOW. She is absolutely beautiful! And you are too, for just giving birth. You don't even want to see what mine look like. I came out looking dazed and confused with frizzy hair and NO eyebrows. You're weight gain is an inspiration to people like me who plan to have more children. You really didn't gain much. Congratulations on your little angel:).
