ChrisRenee, keep me posted on the surgical nipples. Are getting those kind or tatoos? I am looking for a PS in FL to do nips. My PS does them but I am not impressed with her work.

Ireland.....Congrats.....❤

Congrats Ireland!

ireland- congrats! you must be so relieved.

carolyn and momof3-thinking of you two and hope everything is going well!

Congratulations Ireland!!!



I ended up coming home from the hospital around 6pm tonight. It is good to be home, but now I need to figure out the best way to get up and down from couch now. I am sleeping out in the couch since I know it would be impossible for me to get up alone from bed and laying flat. I will figure it out quickly though. I still have major restrictions for at least the next 6 weeks, but at least I am home now. I will return to my doctor in about a week to start getting staples removed. He removes every other one first and then the rest will come out in about a week after the first half come out. There are at least 50 staples in me! I remember I was uncomfortable getting the 8 staples out after each of my c-sections.



Thanks to everyone for being in my pockets! It made it easier knowing you we're there! I told one of the nurses about our pocket parties and she thought it sounded fun!



The best part in all this is I made it home before my girls come home from overnight camp! I will be here when they get home and will be able to hear first hand all that they did this past week.



Have fun in Iowa and keep us posted!

😍😝☺yay mom and yay Ireland.. Glad all is well!

Joanne, thanks for the brief update and hope to hear more later. Has to be too much fun!
