New Body Here I Come!!

Exactly 2 months out and doing pretty good. I have been super busy since my 6 week. My husband is home from Iraq and me and the kids are enjoying some good family time. I have a few issues im dealing with in one spot of my belly and i am trying to decide to go to the ps earlier or not than the end of this month. I try to take it easy but sometimes its hard when i do things like laugh so hard i start crying!! LOL i guess thats the downfall to having your family back together! I will post some pics soon so u can see that the swelling has gone down quite a bit in front but the sides are still up and down. My scar is kinda wierd and hurts sometimes like it is dried out or something... Any ideas on a good scar treatment would be great! I still have about 3 weeks till my next apt then i will have a better update.

ok guys! so its been a while since i updated but have been so busy trying to prepare for my husband to come home from Iraq in just a few days!!! so excited but i did have my 5 week po check up...swelling is still alittle high but could be from the stressful week of dealing with the sick 7 yr old and having to catch her when she fell...but...they said it looks good and the weirdest news was what to expect now after week 6...she said that i am to expect the swelling to get better then worse then better then worse...and this can go on for around 6 weeks b4 the swelling is completely or mostly gone...so i shouldnt expect the end result for quite some time it sounds like... OH and make sure u keep som meds on hand if you happen to get sick because sneezing and caughing (especially sneezing) hurts so bad and causes your muscles to cramp and basicaly do that whole charlie horse thing... just a warning that even at 5 weeks it a killer! But i was able to go shopping and fit into my new smaller size and it looked so awsome to not see a bulge and be all flat! Still dont know how im gonna feel about the belly button thing but we will have to see..Right now its just me and the doc and my kids who have seen and in just a few days time my husband will too.. Today is our 9 yr anniversary and it was awsome to walk down the street and feel so alive and happy and confidant!! I am so happy that i decided to do this and i support everyone else who is in this same journey...

26 days out..which means alittle over 3 weeks and not too bad...may have over did it a bit this last few days but i couldnt help it...my 7 yr old who was in the er the other day ended up going back into the er because she couldnt walk from spinal tap..it hurt her so bad, so i took her back in and found out that not only did she have that sinus infection, she had an infection in her blood and a case of phnemonia as well...soooo 2 nites in a hospital( which is not comfortable after a tummy tuck) i was able to go home with my baby and give her oral antibiotics....she seems to be doing beter but i have never been soooo exhausted in my life..i would literaly sleep 24/7 if i could but my other children kinda need their mother too...plus i feel like if i dont have my pain meds in me i feel more tired..if i dont then all i want to do is sleep...it isnt normal i think but idk what to do...anyways i got the ok to take baths now so that helps with my muscles hurting and i also got the ok for "a little bit of love" when hubby gets back from Iraq in 2 weeks!!! so excited...yet kinda scared..but ill post pics here at the 4 week mark so peopl can see how it is commin along..im using a cream the ps gave me plus a stretch mark lotion to help with the itching!
