Update:

LOL

So the poem shared quite a bit but let me just say that I must have been way bigger than I really felt I was in my head.  The dress size doesn't lie and the largest size that I was wearing was 5 dress sizes larger than I am now.  Cheers!  Every pound down is a mini-celebration, but when I put on some jeans that I couldn't even pull up all the way and I pulled them up and brought the button together across the front for the first time in forever... something inside just does a happy dance.

I'm still happy dancing!  And the hubs picked out two dresses for me, one purple and the other black and I laughed "ha, on which leg?!!"  But he said, "Try em on!" and I did and they fit... so I brought boththem home!  Awesome!!!

More updates to come, but now it's time for Callie's schooling.

A Whole Lotta Progress!

Underneath the baggy mom shirt and mom jeans
I've noticed a change
some things moving back to the way they were
before kids rearranged

is that the hourglass coming back?
are those my abs deep down?
I had forgotten that under the thick tan layers
I was once not so darn round (lol)

I'm fitting slimmer dresses now
bought a purple one and black
a way to treat my happy self
for getting old Steph back

Well, not old Steph exactly
"Old Steph" plus four and glad
But who's that chasing the kids around now?
Nope, this time it's not their dad (lol)

Mom can keep up better now
Mom's not out of air
Mom's not moving the pouch aside
When trying to comb their hair (lol)

Well now I'm just goofing a bit
but the fact remains - it's true
the best person to lose the preggo pounds for
is the awesomely beautiful YOU!!!
