I already can't get out of bed. At least I think the majority of my weight is the baby, everything else looks pretty much the same. We'll see if it stays that way!
This is a great question, thanks for asking. I may hide out in the house to do my exercising for a while until I'm fit enough to feel comfortable going to the gym again, so tapes will be good. My gym right next to Tufts, and there's tons of pretty, super skinny people. I know I won't go if I feel like a tank when I'm there!

I've gained about 40lbs or so. It's a LOT for someone like me to have gained during pregnancy. I'm naturally a small girl, usually around a size 2 or 4, so my body is not use to the extra weight at all. I feel like a tank for sure, I just hope I can get back to my normal size for my wedding!
