moodycow I collect the pampers points. I've only got about 100 points so far so I haven't gotten anything with them yet. I figure since my daughter is only a year old, by the time she can use some of the big toys, maybe I'll have enough points to get her something...

Did anyone have plastic srugery to help get back to their body before baby? If you did what did you do, and if you want to, then what would you have done? I've always said that after I have children I would have a tummy tuck.
