I chunky dunk.
My friend Kaela may have got more than she bargained for when she and Dan joined us on at the beach. She took all these great pics of our family as well as a couple of me attempting to body board and I ate it a couple of times. I may have flashed her in my fight with the wave.
I lost a good chunk of weight right away after the baby and now the rest just won't budge. Some girls lose the weight nursing but Larson girls are notorious for not losing a pound until we stop nursing. But still with every kid I am still surprised and frustrated that it doesn't come off. My doctor said I am not losing the weight because I am either eating too much or too little. I'm pretty sure I am not eating too much and I'm not starving either so I am not sure what the happy medium is. When I really watch what I eat I don't have enough milk and then I have a cranky starving baby. Any ideas how many calories a nursing mama should be taking in? My doctor said 2500-2700 calories a day but that seems like a TON, doesn't it?
Anyway, we had a great day at the beach and there were actually waves so the boys body boarded their hearts out.
Good luck with that Dan...

I still can't believe Weston's hair! What cute pictures!
I don't know about losing weight while nursing. I seemed to have the same problem. If you find the trick, let me know! I heard there are a bunch of natural supplements (all of which I didn't try because I heard about them too late) that increase the milk.
Good luck Girl! I'm not looking forward to losing all the weight again either - aack!
So fun! We miss the beach. As for losing the weight...let me know when you figure it out.
I feel your pain, I don't lose a lb until I stop nursing either. It's SO frustrating...there has to be a trick out there somewhere. your baby is SO cute! Good luck!

I love these pictures! You are a great photographer. How fun to live by the beach! What kind of camera do you have? Do you have a special lense. I've been taking some photography classes and I'm trying to learn to take better pictures!
I miss your sis, I walked by her house tonight and it made me sad!
Oh Christy I am right there with you! I lost a ton of weight in the first two weeks now NADA! I started wearing my BodyBugg again to see just how many calories I am burning, cause I swear I am gaining weight nursing!
I love our parallel lives.
I am right there with you on the weight issue! I think it get HARDER and HARDER each kid and each year older you get! I am finally down to my pre-pregnancy weight now that Violet is almost 9 months (did I mention I run 25 min. 4 times a week) yup that is the only way for me to lose an ounce! You always look amazing so don't worry about it!
I am right there too!!! I never can get my last 10 pounds off until I am totally done nursing. I have the same prob too about not making enough milk if I don't eat enough. I do take a natural supplement call lactate support. Michael got it for me at whole foods. I swear it works! I have never made enough milk past 6 months and Mckelle is now 9 and I am still fine.
Also, if you are eating a 1600 cal diet you need to add between 200-400 more cals...which really is not that much. Just make sure you are getting enough healthy fat.
Anyway, good luck!! At least Wes is so dang cute it makes it all worth it! Love the pictures of your boys!
I talked to Susan on the phone for over an hour today! It was so much fun to catch up! I just love her! I told her how much I love your blog!
About the apple treat~ It's just baked apples! I will try to post it on my blog soon! They are delicious and on the healthy side.
My brothers Salmon recipe is so easy. He puts in on Aluminum foil and seasons it and then puts miracle whip on the top to help keep the spices in and then puts it on the barbeque! It is so moist and flavorful! It is my favorite. He also did the same thing with Talapia if you don't like Salmon! So easy and delicious and healthy!
I know your header is not TRUE! Wes is the cutest little baby. Love his hair and bright smile. I sure would love to be on a nice warm beach. You look great, what are you talking about. You have no need to worry.
I would love to call you about this whole weight losing thing. I could use a friend. I think you look great. I really wish we could hang out sometime. I know I just need to get a reunion together.
So fun! I can't beleive it's still hot enough to go now! And as far as the calories...if you figure it out let me know...my baby's three and I'm still trying!
