Tell me I'm not NUTS!!

I know, it sounds like I can't be serious, but I have to know...AM I the Nutty one?

Here's the background: My family (female members esp.) are going a little crazy with the plastic surgery..I mean, tummy tucks, lipo, boob jobs (can I say that?), back tightening, etc. Mainly sis-in-laws. My mom thinks it's awesome and wants to do it to, I'm thinking...YUCK! I had enough pain via a c-section, not going to go through full body pain to look like a barbie!! But yet, my family acts as though I'm the weird one. Asking, "But don't you want to look good for your hubby?" I say, "Yep, that's why we jog together in the morning." They say it's too much work to wait for jogging to get rid of baby flab. I'm torn, love em all, but feeling ostrasized since I just won't do it. Plus, they aren't shy about the fact that the body is paid for, as in, (Lifting shirt) "Look what I had done!" Freaks me out.

I realize I always come on here with weird/bad news, here's some good news: We're on the count down to move, things in boxes, three more weeks. Can't wait to see in person the home that DH picked out for me, says he can't wait to see the look on my face, he's been gloating about how proud he is of himself, and I'm stoked to see it. Yippee!!
