Excuse Me, But Has Anyone Seen My Breasts?

Mar 24

We all know about the dreaded mummy tummy. But now that I’m down to just one feeding a day for my little guy, I’m noticing another mom-induced phenomenon: a case of disappearing boobs!
 
What’s going on? I mean, I was never extraordinarily voluptuous or anything, but this is getting ridiculous. I was teaching a fitness class this morning and my recently acquired barren landscape couldn’t even hold my exercise top up properly. The elastic-band thing that's supposed to sit underneath the glands in question just kept riding up to my neck. It's not a question of sagging as it is of dropping out of sight altogether.
 
Although pregnancy and breastfeeding lead to bigger boobage, little did I know that weaning can result in some serious shrinkage. I’m not complaining, exactly. Well, maybe I am. But mainly I’m just a little bit surprised.
 
This is just one more thing that nobody tells you before you embark on the glorious journey that is motherhood.

I'm in the opposite camp -- I've got a set of oversized track socks with tennis balls swinging where the proudly pert once stood.

Mine are gearing up fo round two of breastfeeding, and I am looking a little like an obese rhino crossed with Jenna Jameson. No wonder no one gives up their seat on the bus!

Just a thought - you know how Dr. Pollock combined his circumcision clinic with vasectomies? A brilliant move really ... well, maybe the Breastfeeding Clinics should also give referrals for breast augmentation. A nice complementary service. Hilarious article Gail.

After breastfeeding 3 children for 6 months, 8 months, and 14 months respectively...I am left with only the sagging skin of my once full and beautiful boobage. Before kids, I never had anything to brag about. I truly enjoyed the fullness that came with pregnancy and breastfeeding. Now, its like the skin is there, but its empty! There is nothing to fill it out!! I'm glad I'm not alone!! Still mourning the loss of my boobage.....LOL!!

Oops!

On page 48 of our Fall issue of blush, the toy kitchen set featured was incorrectly labeled the Discover Sounds Kitchen by Little Tikes. The kitchen set shown was actually the Super Chef Kitchen by Little Tikes.
 

The Super Chef Kitchen is a compact modern kitchen featuring a cabinet, microwave, oven, and refrigerator, all with doors that open. The stovetop burner makes electronic cooking sounds, and the set comes with coffee pot, place settings, and cutlery for little ones to play with.  The Super Chef Kitchen retails at $79.99

The Discover Sounds Kitchen by Little Tikes that we described on page 48 retails for $29.99
