Don't Try This At Home - I'm happy to report that I've lost 10 pounds since the baby was born last week--that's more than the weight of the baby since he was born! I'm down to 180 pounds. I think the weight loss is due primarily to my lack of sleep. I'm getting only 2-3 hours each night, with perhaps an hour during the day at naptime. Maybe by the time I get back to work I can get to my ultra-slim 160 pound figure. That's what I weighed when I first moved out to California back in 1997.
