I can only guess what you after birth weight will be? Maybe we should start a pool? ![LOL](/images/smilies/lol.gif)

I love the support and rally! It is awesome. Not too many women can say this. It has totally been worth it and a very self-validating experience. I can deliver knowing Ben got every possible vitamin I could eat in a day plus good cell building protein and great fatty acids.
It's nice to feel proud vs. ashamed. Yeah...start a pool.
I technically have 5 weeks left, if I make it.
Ben is putting on weight fast. He is over 5 1/4 pounds this week. Here's the normal breakdown my doc gave me:
5-7 pounds placenta (remember: twin placenta)
10 or more blood volume
10 pounds or more weight/amnio
?? baby final weight (so far 5 1/4)
3-5 pounds breast tissue (I shrunk this time)
I'd say he will weigh in over 8lbs. So: I think 40lbs less is easy just pregnancy stuff not to mention the weight that could healthily fall off between now and then.
I am may just make it into onederland!! We'll see.
E:-)
