Hi Chelee,
I am so glad that you finally got your drains out! I hated those things! I had to wear these little maternity peasant blouses to conceal the drains and I swear I looked 8 months pregnant. I was so afraid to go out because I just KNEW someone was going to ask when I was due (what a can of worms they would be opening!). My close girlfriend, who is hysterical, told me that if anyone asked, just to lift my blouse up and say I was having a "test tube baby" (she can always make me laugh in the worst of times).
Anyways, I KNOW that you are probably feeling SOOOO much better now without those things in cart and tow.......enjoy your new found freedom!!!!!
Love, Kelly
