34 Y/o Mommy from A to D. Minneapolis, MN

Recovery has been going so well that I forget to update here :) Had a PO appt at 2 weeks and doc said everything looked pretty good. Left side was still a little more swollen and high, so I started wearing my strap "Rambo-style" (over the left boob and under the right) every other night to try and bring Leftie down. 4 week PO appt yesterday still had the left one higher so I'll be wearing the strap wonky every night. Doc said I was a little more firm than I should be at 4 weeks so I need to be a little more aggressive with my massages. I sit at a desk like 5 feet from another person for work, so I know I've been slacking. Just going to have to make it more of a priority and find the privacy to rub my boobies for a minute. Other than that, life is great with the new girls. I'm glad to be going through the awkward swollen stage during the chilly months in MN. Lots of big sweaters to ease the transition. Kind of excited to take them out in low cut top or something sometime soon though :)

Aside from a rash I developed, presumably from the antibiotic, my first week of recovery has been relatively uneventful. Slowly starting to get feeling back in my boobs (doc uses some sort of numbing stuff in there) so getting a little achy, but nothing a quick massage doesn't alleviate. They're still high and uneven, but cool weather is coming through MN and I can hide that with sweaters. I had the omg-I-went-too-big freak out already and realize they're far from final position / look right now so I need to chill ;) Something I'm super surprised about is that the difference in me mentally already. I was just not a happy person with myself and the bitty boobies. Don't know if that makes me super vain or just human... But, either way, I can't stop smiling that the beauties on my chest are not going to end up in a heap on my floor at night and I don't have to buckle them on again to go to work. Husband asks to see them - sure! Have a looksie! Pretty sure that last one makes two of us smile :)

Finally, here are some before photos and also some from Day 1 (yesterday) and Day 2 (today). I ended up with 492cc under the muscle and so far I ... love them! They're high and firm but I know once they drop and soften, they're going to be perfect for me.
