3 Kids and a T.T. - Massachusetts

I'm 29 years old and I have 3 beautiful children who all came one right after another. I had 3 kids in just 4 years!(Busy, busy...lol) I gained 60 pounds with my first pregnancy and on my 5'2" frame it was like gaining 100!!! Well, I didn't gain that much with the other 2 THANK GOD but it didn't matter the damage was already done! I have lost all the weight and then some( I'm at 124 now) but i just can not get my tummy flap to go away( which up until now was ok because the kids liked to play with it...it kept them entertained...kinda like play dough lol!)But it is time for it to go.I want to feel good about myself.I'd like a normal belly button again and I'd like to not have to worry about having to stuff this extra flap of skin into my pants anymore.I don't have time for that I have 3 kids to chase around! I'm scheduled for May 26th and I am nervous but can't wait!

I am scheduled to go in in just 2 more days and I am excited and nervous!I am asking all who are willing to pray for me for now and the recovery process. My little ones are so cute, they pray for me everyday and i just love to hear their sweet little prayers.I know i am in God's hands. I have almost finished getting everything ready so it is easier when I get home. I have cleaned more than when I was "nesting" with my pregnancies, made and frozen meals for convenience,and now I just need to pack my bag! I have been trying to spend some extra time with the kids because I know I probably won't be able to do too much for a couple weeks or so.I also have been trying to eat really healthy making every meal count and i have lost a little more weight (I'm now 122.5). I'm a little concerned about all the swelling they say you have after and for how long so I hope i can stick to a healthy low sodium diet after too.I love going out to eat so this is going to be tricky....especially this summer and with vacation!! I took my "before" pics but i still need to post them.My little ones saw one of my pics and and busted out laughing!They got a real kick out of it...lol !! That's when out know it's bad...lol! But seriously,this TT is more than just looking good in a bikini for me...it is about healing years of insecurity.Well, off to the kids i go! I'll hopefully be able to update again tomorrow and than the big day is Thurs!!

Well, the big day is tomorrow!I am nervous.Trying to stay busy today.I have a feeling today is going to fly by.I hope i can sleep tonight.
