From sags to flat!!! - Philadelphia, PA

Hey ladies! I've been feeling pretty well for the most part. Peeled off a lot of the glue that was over my scar and am shocked that the scar is so light. It's a bit higher on the sides, but whatever. My belly button still has crust around it, which is annoying, and I want to see the final result. It's red around it, but that's to be expected. I go back to work next Wednesday, and am not looking forward to it. I enjoy being home with the kids. This weekend, I'm having a girls trip to NYC and am excited to dress shop! I can't wait to see my new body in a cute little dress. I'm hoping I don't swell too much during this trip though. I have to still purchase a flexee or something similar to wear under my regular clothes. This Hanes waist cincher isn't really good b/c it doesn't tighten you up, just kind of smooths things out.

Okay so I'm not sure if it's swelling or what, but I have a little pooch that I'm feeling very worried about. :( I've added new pics. Yes, I still have stretch marks, as the top of the belly became the bottom, and I had stretch marks EVERYWHERE, so I couldn't get rid of them entirely.

Yesterday was a really bad day. For the past four days, I'd get a headache when I'm about to go to bed and wake up with it, or if I didn't get it that night, it's waiting for me in the morning. Yesterday, I was really nauseated badly and it made me feel terrible. I eventually took some Tylenol, had coffee and took a nap. I woke up feeling a lot better but a little pain in my back and midsection. I also had that pain today, expectedly though because I was doing way too much with my son. He just turned 1, and walking all over the place, so I was chasing him around too much. I was exhausted by 8pm, when usually I go to sleep at 1-2am. I'm definitely in no shape to go back to work. My bf bought me some palmer's vitamin E skin therapy oil, which I used after my shower. It says to use 3 times a day, so we'll see how that works. I'm about to go to bed, good night!
