This was me exactly 7 years ago. My water broke at about 5:15 the next AM and at 5:10 that night my rugrat came into the world:
One of these days I need to scan a larger version of that photo, but note the severely swollen feet. I had pretty bad edema and for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy couldn't wear shoes--which was kind a bitch in MI in the Winter. I lived in bedroom slippers and some Keds canvas clog things with a stretchy panel...2 full sizes too big. I also had nothing left that fit, so that's a fugly maternity T that had been pink and I tried (and failed) to dye brown. The sweats were a pair of did's.

I know...I was a whole lotta woman to love!  I believe I tipped the scales at about 225 at that point. I actually got down to 124 a few years back and it was kinda fun to say that I'd lost over 100#s...though it wasn't all me, heh. |

you've come a long way baby.....
just wait...when they get to be 9 they are an absolute blast...which lasts until 13...then it is downhill until they move out....
On march 1st, my son (13) and I will be running a 5k together. I just bought him his first real pair of running shoes...I think he is going to smoke me cause I can't seem to get through pains in the legs....and heavy people don't run fast (at least not this one). |

He's already pretty fun. The whole reading thing is so cool. Amazing how fast he's gone from sounding out simple words to chapter books. By Christmas of this year I expect we'll be buying the entire Harry Potter set in paperback for him.
I've tried to get him to run with me a little bit, but he gets bored too fast. He's much more interested in biking with dad. Though I have a feeling that he could one day be one heck of a runner. He's definitely going to be a slimmer, longer-legged person than either of his folks, I think. |

Quote from obiebyke on 2/7/2008 at 9:06 PM:Whoa, Zoom. I just noticed what your homepage is on your profile.  Congrats to your munchkin, who won't be a munchkin for much longer!
You're so right, Obie...at 7 he's already far too sophisticated. I miss 2. 2 was my favorite age. He was still so angelic at 2. He didn't get mouthy until at least 6 months after that...  |
