Flat, Fab and Forty (Almost) - Coral Springs, FL

Tomorrow is the big day. I m having a tummy tuck, lipo of the back and flanks and just a tad taken off my outer thigh. After being really fit before starting a family, it's been a hard road. 3 c-sections in less than 4 years. 3 big babies... 11lb 2oz, 12 lb 13oz (3 weeks early) and my little runt at 8 lbs 12oz (a month early). I love them dearly but boy did they do a number on me. I looked into a TT right after my 3rd but the price tag scared me. Now she's 6 and I am knocking on 40 and decided its time. I spend all my time and money on the kids... Jujitsu, dance, gymnastics, football, soccer, the diva wardrobe, the Jordans, etc. I don't bat an eyelash when it comes to spending on them. But I must admit I've felt guilty about spending money on me. It's not like I have a designer wardrobe of my own or shelves of Coach purses and Prada shoes. I'm just not that kinda chick, but this I wanted for me. So tomorrow is a present to me. It's hard to believe this time tomorrow it'll be over and hopefully I'll be home with the nurse resting. I took some before pictures today that I will post later. Time to tuck in the kids, take my surgery meds. Then it's off to a nice long shower with the antibacterial soap. Who knows when I'll be able to shower again. I'll take one last look over my checklist and try to get a good nights sleep while I can till stretch out comfortably on my tummy. LOL. Tomorrow I join the flat side.
