So, Mom, This Post Is For You!

So my mother-in-law told me that I needed to blog more because this is how she keeps up with the goings on here! She is on my Facebook but she doesn't like Facebook! So, Mom, this post is for you! I sure hope I remember what all I need to write because my memory ain't so good anymore! haha!


So I have taken some pictures of my tummy tucks. Well, before pictures and one after picture so far. I am still a little swollen but hopefully that goes away soon. My doctor told me 3 months to a year. I am hoping for the 3 months! I am still supposed to wear a wrap but she did tell me I can take it off sometimes. So if I am just at home having a lazy day (usually at night right before bed), I will take it off. There was one day I didn't wear it all day long and ran errands and such and boy my stomach swelled up! So I made sure I wore my wrap all day and night (unless I showered) for a few days. Then the swelling went back down! So here are some pictures of the tummy tuck:

BEWARE! The following pictures may scare you!!

*THIS* is why I needed a tummy tuck!!

Side view (yes, even at my smallest (size 0/2) this is what my stomach looked like. A lot of tucking in of the skin so I didn't "muffin top")

This picture still has a lot of swelling. More than now. My "new" belly button still has stitches here. The stitches have since been taken out and the swelling has gone way down. And I guess I had more stretch marks than I thought because they didn't totally go away. But the stretch marks I can deal with, the excess skin is what was bringing me down!

Christmas break was a nice time to lounge and be lazy. I also recovered a lot. But I am glad that school started back up again! 

Not much really has gone on since. I've been busy with FRG stuff with Paul's unit. I will try and blog more later!!
