29, Very Petite, 4 Kids, Need Something for Me Now...

Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since my BA! I bought one bra at Aerie a week and a half ago or so (32C) but it just wasn't comfortable at all... it does have underwire which doesn't help. So today I decided to give VS a shot. I grabbed a couple 32C bras right away and tried those on, thought they were pretty good, but then asked the girl if she could size me. She said, I'm gonna put you in a 32D! A 32D!! I ended up buying 2 32D bras and they fit great! I feel HUGE in them, which I'm not sure I like, but hopefully I will get used to it. I only wanted to be a B or C, so a D is a little shocking and for me a little much. I won't be doing a revision or anything to make them smaller, but it is something I definitely need to get used to. I'm sure I will adjust just fine in time and after more family has seen me :) Maybe they'll get "smaller" as time goes on? I've read that can happen as they drop and fluff more.
Muscles get looser every day so feeling more and more comfortable. I went through ALL of my clothes today and tried it all on! It was like shopping :) I haven't worn some of that clothes in years because of my insecurities. It felt great keeping what looks great again and getting rid of a lot of it too! Feeling great!

Finally I'm getting around to an update. Attempted an update a few days ago, hit a wrong button and it got deleted. Hate it when that happens...
I am 3 weeks post op today! Every day I feel better and better. I've had mild pain in them since surgery. It's probably just the muscles stretching and adjusting. Things are now starting to feel less tight and are loosening up. They are starting to move and I am able to wear a bra if I want to (not a push up). I've only worn a bra 1 day and it wasn't very comfortable. I bought 3 bras at Aerie (32C!) and it just wasn't comfortable. I took the tags off of one, but am going to take the other 2 back. I'm hoping to get to VS soon and try some of theirs on. I might even need a 32D in some bras...we'll see. So crazy! The day I wore my bra to work my boobs looked SO BIG! So, I know I picked the right cc size, because they never seem small to me....either perfect or big. :) So far I'm really happy with my decision to have BA! I feel so much more confident and happy with myself (at least in that department), it's amazing! I was trying on some of my dresses the other day and I was actually filling them out! Again, amazing! I had a smile on my face the entire time I was trying my clothes on. I loved my dresses before, but now they are even better!! :) Anyway... Feeling good, feeling happy. I still haven't told all of my family. I will see my dad for the first time on Sunday since I've had my surgery, and I am nervous about what he will say, but he's gonna find out eventually. I'm not even sure how I've kept it away from him for this long. I'm a terrible liar and I hate doing it, but in this case I think it was a good decision....I think. :)
I'm very happy with how they are dropping. They are looking more and more natural, with a nice slope. I know they will only get better! :)

That week went surprisingly fast! It's been a stressful one, but things are looking good and they are feeling less tight every day, but still pretty tight, especially in the armpit area when I move my arms. I drove for the first time tonight since surgery and it was tougher than I thought it would be for being a week out. Lifting my arms has been the biggest challenge and tightness in the armpit area, so that definitely makes driving and everyday tasks a little more difficult.
I am really happy with the size! They even feel a tad big sometimes, but I'm sure there's still a lot of swelling. I'm not complaining, it's just odd to go from nothing to what I have now. It's all good :) I just really can't wait till they start the drop and fluff stage and loosen up a little. In time, I know :) I'm not the most patient person unfortunately...
I'm able to take the bandages off my nipples now, but am going to keep them on until I can find something else to put on them for when I wear clothes, since I can't wear a bra yet. I don't need to be nipping at work... although I do work at a Men's hair salon.... better tips? Lol... j/k...really not my style:)
