Having my daughter in Chicago winter was a blessing and curse. All I wanted to do was snuggle and care for her without the distractions or temptations of street festivals, lakefront strolls or 100 degree heat. Instead I wanted to order in, sit in front of the fire and watch the pretty snow from the comfort of my home.
Along with my comfort came pounds. I gained 28 pounds in pregnancy total and was only 6 pounds from pre-baby weight until it stopped. It stopped and regressed. I am now 12 pounds from my pre-baby weight and I'm dumbfounded!
