I have ordered new bras.

Apparantly, I seem to have gone from a D cup to an F cup somewhere over the past six months. And I haven't exactly been putting on fat, either. In any case, wearing a 36 D bra when one is a size 36 F is highly uncomfortable. It's more than likely the reason why my shoulders, neck, and upper back have been locked and sore for the past few weeks.

I am very much looking forward to having surgery done on my chest. Having smaller breasts would be very nice, thankyouverymuch, not to mention a hell of a lot less painful.

Phooka has a nasty cold. She's coughing and her voice is very rough and squeaky. She's got a lot of congestion. The humidifiers are on, complete with wintergreen oil. I'm hoping she gets better real soon. True helplesness is holding your baby while she's sick, and knowing that you can't just make it all better.

And I need to go get a shower and then go get something to eat.

Breast reductions RULE. I went from an 34EE/F to a full 34B in 1994. Best. Surgery. EVER. I have gained a lot of weight since then and am up in size only about a cup (which still REALLY annoys me and I am trying to lose the weight). It was my most painless surgery that I can remember, although it was kind of itchy, and and I, um, didn't lose ANY sensitivity AT ALL...

My doctor was a fellow named Vincent Zubowicz, in Atlanta. Don't know how far you'd have to travel for surgery anyways, but I'd say he was worth it...

There's a really good surgeon that I'm going to be working with on this who's up in Nashville.

I have an additional problem on this front: When I was 16 or so, my mom informed me that if my right breast hadn't grown any by the time I was 18, that I was going to get implants. At 18, despite me dragging my feet and telling all involved that I didn't really want to do this, I went through surgery and got implants in both breasts.

At 19, I became sexually active, and they started to grow. Then Phooka was born, and they started to respond to the crying baby in the house by growing even more. And then the breast tissue around the implants began to ache.

So, I'm going to be having the implants removed, hopefully sometime over the next two years.

Aiiiie. That's a bit more complex.

I've never been quite clear on what sort of stimuli made breasts grow and what didn't...I got lots of mixed messages about that growing up, which came across more anti-sex propaganda than anything (not like they had anything to worry about...didn't lose my girl virginity till I was 21 and my boy virginity was just last year).

I've gained a lot of weight since the reduction so they're bigger now, but nowhere near as big as pre-op, thank goodness. As soon as I get the self-discipline to get some of the weight off, I'm hoping to lose about a cup size...

You can't blame your parents for everything. For that big a jump in chest size, you gained weight. That's right, exercise and lose weight and take some responsibility for yourself.

Then why, pray tell, has my stomach been shrinking for the past several months? Slowly, yes, but it has been. And I'm not blaming my parents for the jump in cup-size over the past few months; I just want the very ouchy implants that I never wanted in the first place removed. I don't expect that to drop me much more than back to a D, if that much.

And it's not weight loss that I want. It's muscle and endurance. Which is what I'm getting. I am not going back to where I was four years ago, which was about four pounds heavier than Bear-Cub is now.

Being around a new lover can provoke breast enlargement, if my personal experience is any indicator.

<g> So how large are yours, now?
