I have been in a funk. The day of my bday was pretty crappy. I woke to a dirty house and no fan fair. This coming from a girl who on her birthday was woke by her mother singing to her, was always taken out for or cooked her favorite dinner, and usually had a party. Needless to say I was bummed. I have to thank a few ppl who made it better!
Heather- Knowing she was going to be out of town. Purchased cupcakes and wine and had me over to celebrate early!
Jesse- Even though you have a bad knee we walked all over down town New Haven having a blast. I know my fellow Texans were over whelming but I am SOOOO glad we went out!
Rachel and Kathleen- I am looking forward to Brunch and a special girls day! You are wonderful to me and my kiddos!!
Miss Sara! Who lets me vent and makes me feel better even 1800 miles away.
Jodi- You never forget and you are always so excited to wish me a happy birthday.
To all my friends who wished me a special day, thank you.
Mom and Dad- You never let this day go by with out making me feel truly loved. I know you are happy I was born, because every year you make sure to let me know and make me feel special. Your words about being proud of me fill me up and make me strong, because in life If I can make you proud I am doing a pretty good job. I love you both so much!
Nick- You may not be the best when it comes to bday celebrations but you are the best husband for me. Thank you so much for letting me run around with my friends while you keep our kids at home. I would be so lost with out you. 17 31707 1 ;-) I know you get that.

Snip Snip here and a Snip Snip there!
And I am not talking hair, although that reminds me I want to get my hair done!
Everyone who reads this and most ppl who know me, know I had Gastric Bypass surgery. One of THE best decisions I have ever made for myself. Well one of the downsides of the rapid weight loss is sagging skin. Anyone who has lost 130lbs will tell you their skin never really went back to normal. I have inches of skin that hang on my arms, legs, rear, and stomach. Nothing can be done about skin, except to remove it; hence the snip snip in the title. Well Yale Health plan wins again! They are going to cover a tummy tuck and possibly a breast reduction/lift! If I can prove it medically necessary they will approve my arms and legs. I just have to talk with my Doctor. I am excited, scared, anxious... lots of feelings about the surgery. The tummy tuck will take about two hours to perform and I will go home with several drains. I would be on restricted movement for two weeks (super easy to do with twins!) and I could start working out again after 6 weeks. The Doctor was suggesting November! But I am thinking February. We will be stuck indoors anyway and it's far enough after the holidays that family might be able to come out to help. Also Nick will have to take time off for the holidays and the surgery, so I don't want to much time back to back. My hope is that I can get my arms covered and do both at the same time. I asked what it would cost out of pocket; for the low low price of 6,800 I can have the skin on my arms removed! So that was my experience with the Plastic Surgeon. When I know more or a date is set I will update!
In other news my sister comes to visit in a few days! Yay!
