Coming into my Own....... : )

Wow! 5 months have passed since my last post and i've just recently passed my 6 month boobie anniversary! Life happens, right!?

Well, so much new and good in the world. I haven't remembered a time in my life (besides when i was a little girl), that I was so happy all the time! It's kinda weird. My confidence is through the roof and it's like, every day, i can go out and stand tall and just nodd my head cause i'm thinking, "i own this [RS bleep]". The world is at my fingertips and all i have to do is say go. I guess, most of this has no relevance to much of anything, but something made me go to this profile, that i've nearly abandoned, after i NEEDED it so much to get me through a really tough time in my life.

When I got my BA, Aug 9, 2012, I hadn't told my family at all. I didn't know how they'd react and i didn't want them to know how unhappy I was within myself. They found out, when i was home on my last visit and it all worked out very well. They were worried a bit, but i assured them of all my research and confidence with my doc and that helped them with it all. And yes, I did tell them about my previous unhappiness. Not like i was depressed all the time, but it was an inner core unhappiness and hiding my true self from life! It sounds so sad, now that i'm reading the words, but i'm past that, and it's easy to move on now.

I do have the most wonderful companion, whom i do owe the world to, cause he's been there for me through everything in life (we're going on 10 years in march!!!!!) Enough of the inner self-reflection, and on to business.....

So, the boobies are doing great. All my incisions that were getting irritated and popping stitches are gone. My boobs do vary in size/shape all the time. But I remember them doing that before too, hello Hormones! The only thing now, that i'm more worried about is my scarring. Since, my incisions had such a hard time healing, i was unable to wear the "tape" to help flatten the scar. I've been very constant as of late to use it and it is helping, i just wish i was able to use it earlier, but if i keep it up, they'll be so much nicer at 1 year. And i know how fast the next 6 months are going to fly by.

My activity is back to normal. Working full time, regular house duties, 3days a week of Roller Derby and beach volleyball (when my body isn't too sore from roller derby)!!! I did notice that when i have been working in the garden and doing heavy raking/moving of dirt (to get the earth ready for planting), i've had ridiculous pain in the lower part of my boob and where it meets my ribcage. i thought something was wrong, but after a week or so, i attributed it to the hard work i was doing for 4-5 days straight and it's not a worry anymore.

The only other bother that i seem to have, is I hate wearing bras now! I just cant stand it. Clothes seem to be a bother too. My breasts are just so beautiful, i dont see why they cant just hang out all the time. My BF doesn't seem to mind, except when we have company :) NO, but seriously. I went to VS thinking for the first time in my life i'd buy a real bra for real girls!! I bought 4. I only love two of them, the others never came out of the bag, what a waste of $50. The lady recommended a push up bra which did accent everything very nicely and looks great under many of my strapless dresses, but it is so uncomfortable for my ladies. they just hate it. Does anyone have this problem. Like i said, i dont wear bras much at all, which is fine, but i just wonder, if they'll get use to it later, maybe i should hold on to them and see if they like the push up in another 6months????

Other than that, my 'feeling' of that area between areola and incision( in boob crease) is not fully back to normal. it's getting better, but it's still a distant feeling, like the nerves aren't all back in place. Maybe that takes a long time, i dont' know, but i know it's not like it use to be, but it doesn't really bother me much. My areolas still stay puffy sometimes and that's annoying, but it's a boob and sometimes, they do weird stuff, right?!

I guess that's enough to bore you with at this point! I hope everyone finds what they need here. The answers are within you, we're just trying to help you figure it out!!! Take Care!

wow, i guess i forgot to post last week. i've been taking weekly pics and things are going nicely. when i had the previous difficulty with my incisions, it turns out that i had a few stubborn stitches that didn't dissolve and needed a little help coming out. now that they seem to be all taken care of, the tenderness and pink/red color is gone from the incisions. We've been keeping up with massage and that's going well too. they seem very soft and all my friends at work said they feel like real boobies!!!! the liquidy feeling has pretty much all dissolved. my right aerola is still swollen/puffy looking but hope that goes away with time too!!!

I absolutely love my new tatas!! It is the best decision I've ever made and I'm so glad I did it!!!!

Overall, the tight look between the boobs is normal now, they've dropped very nicely and the incision is actually in the crease beneath the breast!!! They are so wonderful!!! I've also gotten back into playing my roller derby and everything is going so great. I'm glad that I the volume/fill that i ended up getting, which was the most my body could take, is exactly perfectly proportioned for my body.

All good things come to those who wait!!!

Hello everyone. wow, i totally spaced on updating for my 4wk boobie anniversary. I so very much love, Love, LOVE my new boobies!!! They are so wonderful and, like a million other girls have said, I can't belive i haven't gotten them sooner. But in all actuality, I'm glad I waited till now in life. I had previously gone through a great experience of learning to love myself and I'm so glad that I accomplished that before getting these wonderful twins. It's a great update for the new ME that I've grown to love!!!

My healing is going so great. I seem to never wear a bra. I was having previous difficulty with popping stitches, half dissolved stitches and irritation from the tape. They are a little pink still, but healing nicely with my Mupirocin cream. The Massage is going great and they are so soft and comfortable. The tightness between the breasts has definetly gotten better. The skin has 'stretched' i gues you could say, and they are starting to bounce/move a bit with me when i hustle for something.

I started playing volleyball the other day and everything went so great. I wanted to test the waters of my activity level. I was so afraid to overdo it. i played beach vb with my good friends and it was so nice. they also approved of my new addition.

My areolas are still "puffy" looking. I've read peoples posts about it seeming like 'water' behind the nipple. i guess i could call mine that too. it's a bit interesting to think of, in that way. the squishy, liquid feeling in the right lower outer boob area is still there, but i've finally started to embrace it as part of me. if it fades that'd be awesome, and if wants to linger a bit, that's fine too. All healing takes time and I'm so thankful that my body has so well so far!!!

Thanks for reading my updates and I'll post pics tonight too. thanks again for all your continued support. It has really helped me a lot in my recovery process to read and keep updated on other new boobie girls on here!! thank you!!!
