Looking Back on Pregnancy

The doctor who ended up delivering me was an on-call doctor, and she met me for the first time when I was 170 pounds. Up until recently, I had believed that most of my weight gain was right on my tummy. But I saw this doctor a couple days ago for a check-up, and she exclaimed how different I looked, particularly in my face. I was shocked! She commented that of the 40 pounds I'd gained, 10-15 were probably in fluids.

Looking back on a couple photos taken shortly before my hospital stay, I can't help but agree. Yikes! Until things got serious, Dave and I were calling my toes Little Smokies...
