Thank you ladies for all the support over C-sections.  Tim just can not understand why this bothers me.  (He had open heart surgery in 2005 but this is not the same in my mind.)  The first 6 weeks after surgery, I cried every night at 9pm (stupid hormones) about this. 

As soon as our computer comes back from the doctor, I will answer the challenge of posting my scar picture, jiggley belly and all.

Good for you, own it mama!!!  We have a mama in my playgroup that had twins, you can imagine the toll that took on her belly - she showed it to us, loud and proud and I was so impressed.  We women need to remember that our bodies do an amazing thing growing a baby, and be proud of our "battle scars".

My husband never understood why my c-section bothered me. He kept saying as long as the she and I were healthy and everything went well. I think as women though we feel our bodies fail us if we can't deliver vaginally.  And, although, my c-section was not hard on me, I wanted that "giving birth" experience. Though after 36 hours of induction and six hours of no-med back labor...it was a relief when the process was over

You go on the belly picture! 

I was able to use having a c-section as an excuse to not tell my oldest DD something.  Several weeks ago she was trying to get me to tell her something that was secret.  I can't even remember what it was.  I told her no repeatedly but she kept at me.  She finally said "you can tell me because we are close, I did come out of your vagina"  I had fun reminding her that no she didn't and they had to cut and go in after her.  LOL

That is hysterical.
