the consultation

I went for my consultation today. The surgeon, who is really friendly (both Mike and I felt good "vibes" from him), said I was a good candidate for everything I wanted to do. It's not as expensive as I thought, and since it's private I could have it done tomorrow if I liked. There are a couple of factors that Mike and I have to contemplate, the main one being another child. If Mike and I want another baby, I should forgo the surgery until a later date; my skin will stretch during pregnancy, therefore making the surgery pointless. I know for sure that Mike doesn't want anymore, and I am on the fence, but at the same time, I've been waiting for this opportunity to come around for years. Also, I don't think I could put my body through another pregnancy. There are a lot of things to think about. Also, I'm going to be "out of commission" for awhile after it. I may have it done in October. I would ideally like to have it done in June, but that's not going to happen. I so desperately wanted to look amazing at our wedding, but I guess I won't. Hmmmmm.

On another note, I think Heather is feeling better. Barbara (Mike's mum) looked after her this afternoon, and was unpleasantly surprised by the gift Heather had left for her in her diaper. Hahaha, we've all had to change one of those diapers. You know the ones...they could take your nail polish right off. Maybe that is just a parent thing.

Well Mike's watching tv and Heather's taking a nap...I'll think I'll follow in my girls footsteps...however small they may be.

Love, Katie
