-A : by jean

the following post may not be suitable for all.  please read at your own discretion.

-A.  i think that's the size of my boobs now.  i haven't pumped in almost 2 weeks now, and and my girls have shriveled up to a NEGATIVE A cup.  back when i was pregnant and then onto being a dairy queen,  i was a full B cup.  for the first time i had real legit girls; i even had cleavage!  but once i stopped pumping, my girls completely shrunk.  they look like little flaps of skin.  gross.

have you experienced this shrinkage?  i feel like i'm a 12 year-old again, and i need to look into training bras!

one of my friends told me they will fill out again, maybe not to where they were, but they won't stay as just flaps.  i'm starting to worry that they WILL stay as flaps.  is this the trade-off i get for pumping out 40oz a day?

i don't mind being small, but i want SOMETHING there.  there needs to be a presence of some sort!

next time you see me in person, don't be looking at my girls because i will know what you are thinking!

lets talk about...: by jean

yes, let's talk about it.  really quick, short and sweet.

when i went in for my 6 week postpartum check up, my doctor asked me if we needed to talk about birth control.  i laughed at her.  i mean come on, it's only been 6 weeks since i gave birth!  of COURSE i don't need to talk about birth control! (read about my labor story here)

in the end, doesn't it come down to sleep or sex or all of those chores waiting for you-- vacuuming, dishes, laundry, cooking, showering?  many times, yes, i am too tired to even think about sex but other times there's just so much to do as soon as you come home-- make food, feed, burp, bathe, make bottle, feed, burp, change clothes, put to sleep, make food for yourself, eat, dishes, get stuff ready for tomorrow, shower, watch tv, pass out.  there aren't enough hours in the day to do EVERYTHING!  do you guys have time for sex?  yes, i hear that you have to MAKE time, but if you do have the time, don't you just want to sleep or veg out in front of the tv?

and how long after you gave birth did you start having sex again?  i can't really go into detail since most of you know who i am and it wouldn't be fair to my roommate, but i will say he was very patient with me.  :)  feel free to respond anonymously!
