"I just admire your bravery for posting a fresh-from-childbirth picture of yourself on the web. :)" Heh, yeah. I was 185 pounds by the end. Lost 30 pounds in the 5 days after the birth, from Justin & the placenta and the water loss as my body stopped retaining every drop of liquid I drank. I would recommend it as a weight loss strategy, but don't think many people would take me up on it ;)
The other thing you can't see in the picture is, I was pale and clammy and shaky, and my heart was racing, for about 24 hours after the birth. I went into shock, because labour was so fast that my body didn't have time to adjust. That part wasn't so pleasant.
Although if I had a choice between shaking and feeling vaguely unwell for 24 hours, and having labour pains for 24 hours, there's no question which one I'd take ;)
Family tree?! d00d! *scurries off to look* http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=jkrtelegraph/telegraph_jkrbookaidclose.jpg
You can't see all of it, just one corner. There's also a Flint and a Bulstrode there.
