The back story is, my grandmother died of breast cancer 15 years ago. She loved monarch butterflies and collected statues/stickers etc. When she died, we had a buttefly put on her headstone and every spring, when we go to plant flowers and visit, there is a monarch butterfly that hangs out around her headstone. we always joke that it is here, and my dad will walk up and say "Hey, Ma!!". I always wanted to get a monarch butterfly in remembrance of her - now that I have my daughter, I really wish she was here to see her grow up, I know she'd love her. I wish she had been around to see me grow up too - she found a lum in her breast and didn't tell anyone until it was too late .

It's a little sore but it was totally worth it!!

not now - when he was doing it, it felt like little bee stings over and over and it gave me goosebumps. The worst part was when he went over the center of my wrist, above where you major veins are - that was kinda owy!! But over all not bad at all - I was absolutely terrfied and it was over nothing! I was geared up for c-section type pain and omg NO comparison LOL
