Beautiful Baby

Baby Sara was born on March 10th. She is absolutely beautiful! I was having contractions 4 min. apart that day but didn't think too much of it. I called my OB and he said to go in if they didn't get better. They started at 9am and I went into the hospital at 8pm. The nurse checked me and said I was 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. She left and called my doctor. 5 min. later she came back and said "well, tonight is your lucky night. Your doctor is coming to do the c-section at 9:30pm". Wow!! We were shocked. We had about 30 min. so they quickly prepped me while we tried to call our family.

I joined WW a couple weeks ago. I started on Flex my first week but then changed to Core. The first week I lost 3.2 lbs and the second week was 1.4 lbs. I go for my 3rd weigh in tonight. I hope I lost at least .4 lbs to reach the 5 lb mark. I started at 172.8 (!!!!) and now I'm at 168.2. I hope to be in the 150's by this time next month!! I haven't been perfect with Core but I'm hoping to be good this week and really get this weight coming off faster. When I reach 159, I'm going to reward myself with a manicure and maybe some new lipstick.
Week 1: -3.2
Week 2: -1.4

My goal is 125. So about FORTY pounds which is really hard to believe. I'm taking it one day at a time. I'll be pleased once I reach the 130's.
