I loved my boobs during breast feeding so much that I did it for 14 months with my first one and 7 months with my second. I first noticed their awesome power while out and about one day. Every man I walked past almost tripped over themselves staring at them. I finally got some insight as to why this was when a kindly older woman came up to me and asked if I had a sweater with me. Apparently I had leaked all the way through my breast feeding pad, bra and shirt and had four inch wet circles on each of my boobs.
I would like to thank my two children who provide a constant sorce of entertainment and embarrassment.

Yeah…

When the “girls” packed up and left in my personal universe I sobbed like the babies I weaned off of them. I too often stood in front of the mirror, amazed at their majesty, and in complete pain because I was so engorged you could bounce quarters off of them. Some nurse actually told me those lovely mounds of femininity would stick around if I had a third child. I was tempted until I remembered that I didn’t want to be cut open again, or acquire MORE stretch marks, OR cellulite. So I am sticking with my left over water balloons. They actually roll up nicely into a padded bra with underwire, and the fact that I can feel my ribcage through them tells me I will have no problem finding the tiniest lump if one should pop up, God forbid.

I need to stop typing now.

MIne haven’t been the same after my baby. Instead of deflating, they just fell flat. I am only 38 years old and I have the books of a grandma!

wow, jenny, you must be one of the few authors who can write so openly about your breasts, yet maintain a humorous air without any sounding a bit vulgar or pornographic! this is by far one of your best blogs!!

and how true the leakage that accompanies the sound of a baby’s cry, no matter if it’s someone else’s.

(just one little secret about what’s in store: beware the sagging that begins as you approach 50; so be sure to keep that picture to remind you of what you had!)

*sniff*
I miss mine too.
Except that they didn’t shrink completely…they just deflated. So I’m left with empty husks that flutter pathetically on my chest, four inches south of where they were pre-baby. Pancake boobs.

Maybe I’ll just have another baby so they can reinflate for awhile.

An entry after my own heart. Or maybe that should say, after my own sweet breasts.
I’ll never forget the first time I had a baby and my milk came in. I was so amazed, so excited. I wanted everyone to see my new enhancements. Even the leaking couldn’t surpass my fondness for conture~~
I enjoyed this post! I give it a D, for the size I wish I was…
