1week Away Excited and Nervous - Tucson, AZ

my husband and sister-in-law say they are not big at all I think they are huge (in a good way tho)

well i have not updated much but this week has been super easy and super hard I think the hardest part is being a mom and pretty much helpless. My husband has allways been super supportive of this decsision and went with me to my consultation and my pre-op so he knew what he was getting into as far as my recovery and his responsibilites goes (or so he thought) My biggest qualm is he has not kept up with the house or our girls as best as i would like lunch is allways way later in the day than it should be(not that they are complaining they are hungry or anything) he is not keeping up with the potting training of our 2 year old (secretly I hoped he had it done by the end of these 3 weeks but its not looking good) all petty things to complain about but its frustrating when i dont want to over exert myself and just do it all so i sit on my hands and bite my tounge (sort-of lol i may have complained to him a few times) and go with the flow (no not really) oh and my moment of boy do i need to hurry up and get better was when i caught my 4 year old turning on a movie at 4am ( I sleep in the recliner downstairs and the girls sleep with daddy, its the easiest way for him to get them to sleep) I know that these are all silly things to freak out about the are fed and not put in danger but its just not how I do it which i thought he would just do it all my way LMAO yea right
And now the easiest part this whole pain thing was not as bad as I thought granted i take it very easy and dont really do anything. Don't get me wrong its lots of pressure and moring boob burns sooooo bad but i immediately get an ice pack and get relief. The more i walk around the pressure gets worse so thats why i take it very easy its seems to relax them and i can sort-of squish them. I stopped taking my pain pills on day 4 and now i take regular extra strength tylenol and it does the job i still take a valuim every now and then maybe 1 a day. Also the medicine never made me a zombie ever and I NEVER take prescription pain pills only antibiotics and allways try to not take regular over the counter pain meds but some times you have too. The percocet did make me constipated (TMI) but after taking stool softners and smooth move tea i finally went and here is way to much TMI but that was the most painfull bowel movement i have ever had in my life ( i say this because i had never read this before in a review and did not expect it).
I have a few questions for you ladies so i am on day 7:

should i still be pretty sedentary or would folding laundry be ok?
I see a lot of ladies playing dress up with there new ladies is it safe to lift my arms a little higher than like boob level ( i try to keep mine glued to my sides)
Should i be able to shower myself at this point??

And one last thing I am in LOVE with my new boobs i honestly have no complaints, nothing weird about them. They are perfect to me i had a tiny diffrence in size and my PS still went with same size in both and they look darn near the same size!! Oh I forgot the real hardest part of this is shouting from the roof top i got new boobs I would love nothing more than to show them off to my friends on facebook (of course blocking out any friends husbands or any in-laws or my family) but i did sneak a pic on instagram since i only have a few of my closest friends on there did anyone else show them off on social media of course not naked (i should mention i only keep close friends and family i dont have 100's of friends on there) well hope this was informative for anyone and good luck and happy recoverying to anyone out there :)

Well I am on day three of my BA journey and today is my first day with my 2 littlest girls (my oldest is with her grandma since she is in school and i can not drive) My little ones are 4 and 3 So thankfully the can get them selves dressed for the most part i was able to help pick out the outfits. My youngest needed assistants pulling up her pants and that was not easy, they are still not all the way up lol. Breakfast wasnt too big of a challange since my independant four year old can do that for her and her sister(just cereal of course) . They have been watching way to much t.v than they should lol and thankfully we have an amazing backyard with just about everything so they alternate between tv and outside. It has been hard not to clean tho i have been haveing them do lots of picking up. I am very tired and thankfully have only went to sleep once for about 45 mintutes. That it the scariest part that i will falll aprt and they will get into something but we do have the house pretty baby proofed and out yard has a block wall with pad locked gates.

My pain is much better I have slowed dowwn on pain meds because yesterday they made me soooo sick i was throwing up which scared my little one. my underarms burns soo bad due to not being able to lift them and sweating anyone else deal with this??? my sister reccomended cornstarch thinking my deodarant may be irritating it more.
I am definetly constipated its not uncomfortable and i am definetly not looking or weighing myself since i know this is all temporary. Also when i wake up from a nap my eyes hurt and then are very blood shot seems so wierd to me anyone else get this???
I took a peek at my boobs again and am thankfully not scared of what i saw they look much better than what i would have thought smaller too but like i said i am not going to worry about them till the dr says they are dropping. I still cant believe i have boobs :) This recovery is not as easy as i thought i feel like mine is tougher than most of the stories i have read but I still do not regret my decision at all.
All in All recovery with kids is hard but managable and I reccomend having help for as LONG as you can get it and keep them BUSY BUSY BUSY so they are less inclined to get fussy,fight and get into things they shouldn't. Happy recovery everyone!!!
