Our family photos finally came in!
As mentioned here, we haven't been great at professionally documenting Adelaide's first year. We were even worse at taking the time to get the three of us into the same frame. So, when my mom's friend Oksana Mansour offered to take some family photos of us in her backyard garden, we jumped at the chance!
I can't stop staring at them. Sometimes, I feel like I don't even look like I'm a member of my own family -- my daughter and husband are so fair! Then I start thinking about how this is a captured moment in time -- one day we're going to look back at this photo and remember when Adelaide was this age. And reminisce about how young we were.
Then, of course, if I stare at them too long I obsess over how fat my face is, and how it looks like I ate my former high school self. I hate it when I start thinking this way, and I really hope I don't pass this tendency to self-criticize onto my daughter.
I still have 15 lbs to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I've been falling off the Weight Watchers wagon for months now, so I thought I'd write it down here that I'm starting up again. It's October 1 -- what better date to start?
I'll include a separate page with my measurements. And maybe my weight. I'm still thinking about that one. My goal is to just feel better about myself. I'll keep you posted on how it goes...
