Click For Summary
The thread centers around the joyful announcement of the birth of MacKinnon (Mack) on August 6, 2008, weighing 5lbs 14oz and measuring 21.5 inches long. The discussion includes congratulations and compliments on both Mack's cuteness and the mother's appearance. Mack has already grown to nearly 9.5lbs, leading to the packing away of preemie clothes. The mother also shares her significant weight loss of 130lbs following gastric bypass surgery, which she underwent 13 months prior to Mack's birth, although she mentions ongoing issues with kidney stones as a side effect. The thread acknowledges the emotional background of the family, including the loss of an older brother, Taylan, who had a rare birth defect and passed away shortly after birth. Mack's middle name honors his brother, and the mother expresses pride in both of her sons, emphasizing the motivation behind her health journey for the sake of her family's future.

Thanks so much! He's almost 9 1/2lbs now, he's growing so much and so fast, I had to pack most of his preemie clothes away the other day, it's so crazy! And as far as I go, I officially hit 130lbs lost since surgery two weeks after Mack's delivery. It's been 13 months since my surgery. I'm feeling great, still sufferring from horrible kidney stones (I think it's just going to be something I have to deal with for life as a side effect), but other than that great!
 
He's adorable Darcy and you look FANTASTIC!!! CONGRATS!

Thanks everybody! In answer to someone's question, he's actually my 2nd but our first past away a little over two years ago shortly after he was born. He had a rare birth defect called Vacterl Association and had open heart surgery when he was only two weeks old. He died from a freak complication from the surgery. MacKinnon's middle name is his older brother's name, we wanted to be sure to honor him with Mack's birth. MacKinnon is also the spitting image of his brother Taylan. It's the oddest thing. We're very proud of our two little men :) Taylan and Mack are also the reason why I had the gastric bypass in the first place. After going through so much with our first pregnancy, I wanted to make sure that I did everything that I could to stay healthy for our next baby, we never had a question that we would try again.
 
Wow Darcy! Your story is so inspiring!!!!! Thanks for sharing! :)
