If you won the lottery but could only spend the money on one item what would it be?

Does a rocking vacation count? Like travel Europe for a few months. That is multiple things the money would be spent on, but only one main heading.
Kid #1 - 09/03/12
Kid #2 - maybe???
Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube #11 or IVF with scarring still inside? 1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
If you could re-do the day you gave birth what, if anything, would you change

Seriously, why do I keep getting stuck?
Birth itself, nothing. I labored at home for a while. Got to the hospital more than half way through and still was able to have that glorious epi. I would work more to get L to latch so we didn't have all those weight problems.

I would have relaxed more and tried to sleep so that I wasn't so tired after they got L out. I also would have gotten the obligatory post c-section picture....
Since I want this threat to make it to 1k, give me another truth!!
If you could alter any body part to make it smaller, bigger, longer, shorter, thicker, thinner what would it be and why and what size would it become?
This is a loaded question! If I had to pick just one, I would make my belly smaller because I still look like I'm 6 months pregnant. I tend to wear sweatshirts all the time to cover it up. Summertime comes and I'm screwed.

I wouldn't get the epi.
Why?
I didn't want it in the first place. I'm not at all a major advocate for natural birth or anything, I just had no desire to get it, and wanted to get through it all on my own. I ended up getting it, and the pain continued to increase. I never felt any relief, the pain didn't even stay at the same level. Then it was time to push an hour and a half later. It just wasn't worth it to me, and I know I could have done without it.
For anyone who wants one--what is something you let your kids do that others would find weird?
I let Nancy play with all the cat toys. She just loves them. It drives my DH crazy. I also let her "help" when I'm cooking since she's currently a total beast when I attempt to do anything in the kitchen without holding her so she can see. She loves sprinkling cheese and may or may not have done most of the cheese distribution on our pizza last night.

My kids eat off the floor sometimes.
STUCK IN QUOTES
To piggyback off this, half of what DD eats has dog hair on it. I've eaten dog hair daily for the last 6 years and I'm fine. I could vacuum all day long and there'd still be dog hair floating like tumbleweed in the air. Oh well.

There are times where I take a shower with V.
not weird. This is the only way I get a shower during the day most times. That, or I have to let him have run of the bathroom while I shower--usually with the curtain open because we play 2109847 rounds of peek a boo

This is how we do it every Sunday. DH takes a shower and while he is getting dressed L and I take a shower together and she plays until he is ready for her. Then he gets her ready while I get ready and we go to church. It works for us.
I think it is funny how weirded out DH is to have his penis out around L. He flips if she is in his bathroom when he gets out of the shower or comes in there while he is peeing. I am glad that he is so modest and caring about her, but it makes me giggle.
For anyone-- If you had an entire day by yourself and money were no option, how would you spend it and where?
I would go to the nice mall in Charlotte and buy a completely new wardrobe and then get my hair done (cut & color) and get a mani/pedi and an upscale salon.

Birth I would have strangled the nurse for not calling an anesthesiologist sooner. Like 4 hours sooner.
