Today I ducked in Victoria's Secret to buy a bra. My new post maternity/nursing size...34A. And the "A" is a bit of a stretch. I had larger breasts in the third grade. Seriously. And at my voluptuous peak in college I was a 36C. Truthfully, I don't actually need a bra now. Nursing two babies has definitely left a mark on my body. Alex hates it when I say this, but...the girls literally sucked my breasts away.
Last week I saw an old Law and Order, and in the episode there were several women who would rather risk death than have their cancerous breasts removed. Really? Are breasts really that important? I guess I never cared until now, now that I don't have them. Alex says he doesn't care, but isn't that what he is supposed to say? Alex also doesn't like plastic surgery. So....I'm weeks away from turning 29 and looking at living the rest of my life without breasts. For some reason lately I find this depressing. I'm slipping into a state of being where I feel more like a mother and less like a woman.

You are not alone in this battle. Your blog could have come out of my mouth...except my husband is all for an enhancement. BUT, I didn't even breast feed!
Girl, I wish Cora would have sucked away some of my breasts! I had the opposite effect. All of my life, I have been wishing to be noticed for something other than my "gifts." Guess you always want what you can't have. I think when I am officially done having children, I am surgically going down to a C-cup. Ah, wouldn't that be lovely! :)
My boobs seem to be growing lately (along with my hips, butt and second chin). I'd be happy to make a donation. :-)
us smith girls were freaking blessed to begin with.
I could work at the IHOP with my pancakes. I am all for surgery and I will eventually have it. I had a tummy tuck 1 1/2 years ago (greatest thing since sliced bread) and I am ready for the perkies again.
I've never been endowed, so I'm in your camp. I don't obsess over my breasts and haven't since I was in high school. I have learned to live with the body God gave me and for the most part, I'm pretty content. I'm not for cosmetic surgery so it's this body or nothing.
P.S. I think you look fabulous just as you are!
Hey there's always a bright side... now you can get hand me downs from me!
Well, anytime I lose weight, the first place is my boobs. Not the place I need to be losing!
Sometimes I feel good that I'm not so much focused on being a hip and in style gal. Other times I feel so incredibly homely!
My only thought when we recently met was that you were even more beautiful then when you were younger, I guess including when you were at that "voluptuous peak"!
