The belly button has been getting infections for about 9 years now. It happened when I had a lap surgery back then. Its quite gross and happens about every few months or so, although more often now with such a soft tummy. I have a prescription cream that I put in there after washing it well. Its kind of a toss up between keeping it clean and dry (baby powder) and the flip side moist with the cream. No worries now, as it will be gone in a matter of days!

Well myself, Tawna (Rivercanyon), Carrie (Chilmoe) and Lisa spent a fantastic day together today! We met up in Medicine hat about 10.30am, and all hit it off like a house on fire! We went shopping, for lunch, went to a scrapbooking shop and did a take home craft (more about that later! ha ha), went to Starbucks and hung out. Awesome day, long journey (thanks for doing the brunt of the drive Carrie) ...... tired now, took lots of photos between us so we will get some up later! A great day with great people! Lisa is going to do just fine!!!

Yes we had an absolutely fantastic day. There wasn't a quiet moment between the four of us. Amazing what friendships we have made on the forum and to be able to meet in person today was just wonderful. I couldn't ask for better friends and a better support.

Thank you Lisa, Carrie and Samm for a awesome day.

Can't wait to share more with our forum family.

Lisa you'll do great tomorrow and we can't wait to see that flat, buttonless belly.
