It is so amazing to feel amazing, inside and out! 1 week from being 2 months out... and EVERY DAY gets better! I got the part time job at the college day care where I go to school (University of Oregon, GO DUCKS!)... I get to go hold babies for 12 or so hrs a week, more hrs if I want more! Its perfect!! Only 2 babies per staff person!

After the interview I walked 2 miles or so "just because I could"... took the bus to the thrift store and bought a size 16 jeans with no "W" after the 16!! (I know you know how big a deal this is!) Yeah, they are a little snug... but will be just fine when classes start in two weeks!

And the clothes I have on in the picture (see link)... I've not been able to wear in a L O N G flippin time!! Anyways, if any of you pre op folks are wondering if its worth it... Sure has been for me! Could not ask for more! Been easy? Nope... but totally worth it!
