Well I'm past the one month mark. woo! I didn';t post a one month photo or video because I don't look much different then at 3 weeks. I'm going to wait until it's more signifigant. maybe at 1.5 months or at 2. And as far as journa entries, same deal. nothing new unfolding. I'm back to my daily routine. Doing normal stuff, working. (no exoecise yet) and I'm pretty good, other then the expected swelling and soreness. Still not sleeping on my tummy, but it's coming soon. I can feel it. :)

sorry it took me a few days to update. I had to go out of town suddenly for a funeral, no one I knew, a friend of my husbands. I took the photos and video on friday right at 3 weeks, I just didn't get a chance to post them.

I went back to work today, swollen and tired at the end of it, but good either way. I'm a laser tech, I had 5 clients. I seem to be able to do normal stuff, I'm just super tired all day and swollen at the end. either way, it's still getting better and better. one day soon I hope to just wake up and go, hey I feel totally normal. I'll let you know when that happens. :)

You look HOT! Doesn't it feel just awesome to wear sexy stuff and no more belly! I layed on my tummy for the first time today while watching some tv. It wasn't horrible, kind of felt good just to stretch out a bit on my stomach. I'm coaching my crossfit classes once in a while, but I really dont start back with my regular police job for another 3 weeks. Really hoping feeling "normal" will be here by then!

haha thanks. I tried laying on my tummy in bed with a pillow under. I could do it, but it didn't feel the most awesome. I'm thinking one more week and I'll be back on my tummy.
