Happy Birthday to Me!

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday!  Woo Hoo!
  • My wonderful husband and dear friends threw me a Surprise Party to beat all surprise parties!  Oh what a night!!!
A few of my favorite gals!

  •  I was treated to a  fancy dinner with 4 of the handsomest men in the world (Jackson, Reed, Michael, and Tim). The boys looked so cute dressed to the nine's in coats and ties.




  •  I also got a tummy tuck!  Big fat say what????
I need to back up 11 years to the birth of my 11lb 14 oz first son,
 followed by his brother weighing in at 11 lb 9 oz, then wrapping up with my lightest son at 10lbs 14oz.  My stomach was stretched beyond what is normal.  These big babies are my pride and joy, and I wouldn't change a single thing about how they came in my life. 
My justification was that I had to have surgery to have my children "removed" from me via c-section. This procedure would be final stage of my pregnancies.  I just wished the doctors could have slimmed me up while I was in for my c-sections.  It was a tough decision for many factors - one being the expense.  However, it was one of the best choices I've ever made, AND I'd do all over again!
