Hi, all--

Not as many goofy pics this time, but the face is coming along!

I still haven't figured out the " Photos " thing here (haven't had a chance yet),

so if

you're interested, please peruse my mac.com site:

http://homepage.mac.com/saima23/PhotoAlbum67.html

I'm feeling pretty decent...I've only lost 5 pounds so far, and hunger isn't as

much of a

problem as I can eat more solid foods now. I had mac and cheese for the first

time

yesterday. I didn't chew it, but I could feel the texture as I swallowed it

whole! Yeah!

I'm a little sore on the right side, still...have had a couple of minor bumps

there from

my little boy, but the OS's office says it should be fine as long as I don't

have

significant pain or have noticed any shifting. I just have to continue to be

careful as I

" ramp up " to a more active lifestyle. I have another check-up next Friday.

I've gotten more sleep and am dreaming of corn on the cob!

Thanks to everyone for their continued support, especially during my occasional

" hit

the wall " moments! A big " hi " to my fellow Minnesota girls!!
