    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.

    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!

Today is the margarita day along with coconut bowling .... Christine, Luanne and I have to find some time to shop too.

    Momof3 - hope you are taking it easy.

    Cmbernardi - hope you are home and healing too.

    Karen - good sign! You won't have to stress all week end.

    Hugs to everyone.

    Aimee and Iowa vacationers - who is in charge of pictures? We'd love to see more. Sounds like you are having a great time. Glad you all liked my care package. What is coconut bowling? Do I dare ask?

    Ireland - you a so sweet. Funny that your weather is better than Spain! Enjoy your 30 degrees now that I know that translates to about our 80 degrees:-)

    Shari - I'd love a NY get together too. I will start saving now.
