When You Can’t Stop Eating for Two and Other Post Pregnancy Weight Loss Struggles

This is going to hurt me more that it hurts you
Emily Week 15
Emily went in for a four month check up today with Nurse Sherri. Emily is doing well and meeting all of her developmental milestones except her head is still a bit shakier than they would like. Also, we have to work on rolling over. She will roll over if I put her on [...]
