The countdown begins!

15 days and counting. And it's a BUSY 15 days!

Almost every day on the calendar has something between now and the surgery, and the week after we have a houseguest for a week, and I'm usually the one who does the house cleaning. Thankfully DH took the week of the surgery off of work so he can wrangle the kids and hopefully clean the house before our beloved Maria comes to visit.

We're prepping for Caroline's party on the 31st, and have most of the 'paper goods' set, but are thinking we need some outdoor seating too. We're going to serve hotdogs and hamburgers and chips and sodas -- cheap and easy hopefully. We've already stocked up on soda, but Safeway's having an AMAZING sale, so it's tough to not buy more while it's this cheap LOL

Tomorrow I go to Dr. Smith's office and have my "before" pictures taken. I think I'm going to take my own before pics tomorrow too, and may post them here, or may create a separate blog to post them in because I'm guessing they really won't be pretty. I'm excited to go see Dr. Smith and thank him profusely, and ask a few little questions I have. I'm wondering about "drains" and also about the weight that is in my apron, I'm pretty sure it's just fat deposits, but am curious to confirm that and confirm they'll just be cut off and discarded too. Also curious if there are other adjacent fat deposits he'll be excising.

His nurse was kind enough to let me know that he loves cookies so I'm going to stop off and pick some up before my appointment for him and his staff. I think I'm going to call and ask about it now and see if I need to pre-order.
