1. I have no idea how to upload multiple images on this blog. I would love for it to go: picture, statement, picture, statement and so forth. Sadly, I have not figured this out yet so there will be "no pictures until I am ready."
2. Kendall's ultrasound pictures. We had 3 ultrasounds with Kendall. One at 20 weeks where we found out the gender, size, and more accurate due date. On this day we also got one of those fancy 3D ones too. When trying to see her face, her lovely hand was covering it. Later, we had to go down to Iowa City for some metabolic testing and we were lucky enough to get a level 2 ultrasound. I was 31 weeks pregnant and really looking forward to seeing my baby girl. We found out several things: Kendall was still a girl, she was measuring "big" at 3 lbs 4oz, and once again her hand was covering her face. Moving on to me at 41 weeks pregnant. I got another ultrasound and once again, she was covering her face. I believe this was Kendall saying, "no pictures until I am ready!"
3. Now to me. So it's no secret that I gained a ton of weight over this pregnancy. It was a combination of a ton of things. I was pregnant, it was an excuse to eat and eat like crap. It was also my first winter in Iowa and I am sorry, when it's -10 outside, no I do not want a salad and chicken breast for dinner. I want a nice heavy pot roast or another lovely crock pot treat. I also worked at an elementary school last year. Holy cow do those people eat. I'm talking good food here. "Oh, someone brought brownies? Don't mind if I do!" On top of all that, working out really wasn't happening. I was tired, anemic, and it was too damn cold outside to really go on a significant power walk. Needless to say, now after Kendall's arrival, I am trying hard to get this baby weight off! I am eating crazy healthy and trying to work out. Sadly, I am a victim to Eric's schedule. Curses for not having a normal job! Add me being back in school, the gym closing at like 8, and the fact that Kendall won't even be old enough for child care there until she's 6 months... it's just one big headache. We need to suck it up and buy a jogger. So this all explains the lack of pictures of me. I don't like my picture being taken right now because I feel awkward and fat. So once again, "no pictures until I am ready."
