This whole post originated on Facebook...with tags going around about the story of your first born. No one believed me...that I'd gained 60lbs...so I shared my happy pregnant picture! I was then deemed brave...but I guess I just don't feel any shame in it....afterall, I had a very healthy and precious baby girl...it was summer and I like ice cream...what? Smiles!!
