Long before my husband and I had children, I assured him that my body would get a full fledged workout. I am 4'9" and I range between 93-96 lbs. depending on what I eat. Well, let's just say the girls got more than they bargained with and need a little help, as well as my belly. I had never heard of diastasis recti nor did I even realize that a majority of mothers get this and they just think they have extra fat. In reality, it is a horrible separation of the abdominal wall that affects your posture, your stomach girth, your waist size and your confidence. For years, I have been wearing spanx constantly, I tried the Tupler Method, I did planks even before planking was a thing and I ate clean and healthy. To no avail, I still look 5 months pregnant. My husband has been supportive but I think the lack of confidence in myself has taken a toll on us. He thinks I am beautiful no matter how I look since I am the mother of his children. He says that a lot but still senses my insecurities. I, initially, just wanted a TT but after two well fed, breast loving kiddos...I am leaning toward getting my breasts done, as well. The way I see it, If I am going to do it...than I AM GOING TO DO IT. I want those suckers up there, round, full and where they were before. Maybe not full like "milk coming in boobs" but at least get them a little perky. I feel like I am tucking puppy dog ears into my bra daily. I am sick of people asking me how far along I am in my pregnancy. I am sick of wearing baggy shirts. I am sick of Googling "tankini's for big bellies." I may never again feel comfortable in a two-piece but I would like to wear a shirt that actually fits. I would love to purchase a high waisted bikini with a little bit of retro flare. I would love to have my confidence back. Most of all, I would love to feel like the old me again. Once I actually get the process going, I'll share some very personal and intimate photos of my body. Hopefully, I'll have the courage to post. I plan on getting back into body building again once I am fully recovered. I hope that people understand that everyone is different. Our bodies change in different ways and no one is exactly like the other. Be happy, love life and work hard. There is always a way to fix something. If hard work and dedication can't get you there, perhaps a Mommy makeover is for you. Procedure details: lipo of the flanks with that fat added to the breast area, breast lift, tummy tuck, hernia repair and possible implants depending on the amount of fat available from the flanks.

Before Photos: Gah! 17 Days to go...
These photos hard to post but it'll be good to see the process. I am getting more nervous each day. I'm actually quite terrified of the recovery process. My mother will be in town to help along with my husband. I'll only have her here for about 10 days and then I am going to be solo with the kids. Fortunately, I think I will get some help from my in laws in regards to watching them. How nervous were all of you lovely ladies beforehand? How long was it before you were able to get out of bed and play with the kids...even if that means just sitting while coloring or watching Frozen for the 120th time?
