In love with my new girls!- Seattle, WA

I need to buy a swimsuit. Of course none of my previous ones fit (you know, because of the padding and wires... even in my swimsuits!), but I realized quickly that I have no idea what a nice fitting, breast flattering bikini top should feel like! I know, weird and a little embarrassing, but I just can't tell whether they are too big, too small, or just right. I didn't make it to very many places, so I'm hoping to make it to Target to get a simple triangle top. I don't think the victorias secret nearby carries swimwear, and I don't want to order online without knowing for sure what size will fit best. I guess I need to bring someone with me next time to educate me :) Still doing and feeling great, no pain at all except occasionally on my right side incisions, just when something hits them or rubs too hard. I am loving the way my clothes fit now, love getting dressed every day knowing I am going to fill out my shirt/dress! What a difference that makes! I will try to get some photos up soon. XOXO

I keep feeling like I need to update, but there is not much to say! I'm feeling great, even mowed the whole lawn the other day! I didn't even think about it until I was over halfway done! It's amazing, I keep doing the math because it seems like so much longer ago than two weeks that I got the surgery! Everything feels different, but still mine, you know? I am super happy, excited to see them change over the next few weeks/months. I would like to take some new pics, but am waiting because I'm supposed to try to leave my tapes on until 4 weeks, but they have gotten various colors stuck in them from my shirts, so they just look kind of funky :) But I will try to get some up soon. Everything seems to be even and symmetrical, which is wonderful. I expected them to drop separately like so many others, but hopefully they will stick together. Still have random things I can't do, like closing umbrellas, or occasionally there will be a jar I can't open. I have been living in ribbed tanks with no bra... okay, only when I'm home, which isn't that often, but I really wish I could live in them :) Hope you lovelies are doing wonderful!!

I was just glancing over my posts and I can't believe I failed to mention this! I was super worried about the back sleeping thing (I love to sleep on my stomach with my face buried in a pillow), and a girlfriend told me when I'm able to sleep on my side, I could put a pillow under my breasts (I just bunched up the blanket) and a pair of rolled up socks inside my compression bra, between the girls to support the top one. Worked AMAZING and I've been sleeping at least partially on my side my whole recovery. I even stuffed an ice pack in a sock and stuffed it in-between one night and that was heavenly.
Besides that, my incisions are starting to hurt and itch. Any advice on that one?
