There are definitely things that I would like to change, definitely improvements that need to be made. But for now, I have decided that this is as good as its going to get.
Sure, I need to loose a couple, ok a few oh who are we kidding a lot, of pounds but right now it is just not a priority for me. I want to have an exercise and workout routine but I just don't have the time. Right now, there are just not enough hours in the day.
The important thing for me is that I am healthy no matter what my weight and for me, right now even though things could be better from a physical stand point, I am healthy. I am able to care for and run after my children with out any side effects expect for the occasional sprained ankle.
But when I do start to work taking care of me and my body into the equation again, there is something that I really want to get taken care of or I should say replaced.
I am not looking to be a skinny mini, I never was and I don't expect to ever be one. I am not looking for super toned arms or a six pack. But what I do want more than anything is my boobs back.
Now, I am not talking about the boobs that I had before I was married and had kids. No, I am talking about the boobs that I got when I was pregnant and nursing. Those round, full, perky, luscious boobs. Come on, you know the ones that I am talking about.
Having those boobs made the whole pregnancy thing worth it, oh and the fact that I had my kids, oh course.
I remember being surprised and taken back by them during my first pregnancy and even kind of ashamed. I mean, they were HUGE. I went up like two cup sizes and when you start at a C cup that is an enlargement. I tried to hide them during that first pregnancy and I even went so far as to wish them away.
And then after a few weeks, after I was done nursing Hayden, they left. Gone. Adios. Bye Bye. What I was left with was just, well, it was terrible. Saggy, flopping, remnants of what I once had. And to top it all off, they were now lop-sided. Uneven. What the heck is up with that?
So when the time came to talk about and even start trying to get pregnant again, I couldn't wait. Yes, I wanted to make more children but even more I wanted the boobs back. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. For 11 months I got the joy of those beautiful boobies looking back at me every day.
But, alas, now they are gone, forever. I will never again have the lovely round full, perky, luscious boobs of pregnancy. Or will I?
No, I am not pregnant, people but there is still hope for me. No, its not a good wonder bra but that does help. Its plastic surgery.
Thats right, I am hoping that when I take the time once again to care for me there will be a extra money, somewhere (donations will be expected), for me to go and have my boobs restored to their rightful place on my chest and not sagging low, hanging down talking to the belly button (and possibly an cup size or two enhancement, hey I want to get my money's worth).
A girl can dream, right!?!

There was a time when I coulnd't THINK what I'd get done if I could get plastic surgery on something. Now ... there'd be a list. I used to be perfect, dammit.
BTW, look at you with 188 followers! You're a Big Blogger! And we all get the privilege of reading your great stuff. Tonight my favourite quote was "Yes, I wanted to make more children but even more I wanted the boobs back."
That was gold. I really loved it!
I have four kids too although mine came with a resting point in between, at least 3 years. However, the boobs, the tummy tuck, the lip,oh lord, this list can get really long. Oh well, I have to settle for loving what I have and the reasons why- my babies!! Great post, great blog.
I'll still settle for the tummy tuck though!
My list is long.
But I do love myself. Just the way I am. Soft and squishy.
Over from Mama Kat's.
Lordie be. I think I would stay my size (36C in case your wondering and really, who isn't wondering?) and just have them lifted. By a crane if necessary. Just think of all the money I'd save at Victoria's Secret.
I've read the plastic surgery option on a few blogs today and I'm wondering if we could get a great group rate somewhere.
YOur boobs and my boobs should hang out (get it? Hang?! bwahaha!!). They sound as though they have a lot in common. I think they'd get along fabulously well.
I've totally considered "enhancement surgery.
Then I think about all the complications.
With my luck, I'd get MRSA or some other crazy infection and get septic and die, all for the sake of pretty boobs.
It sucks knowing too much sometimes.
I love the pic!
Oh Lord. I used to have the nicest boobs ever. I never wore a bra, I loved tight little t-shirts. I lost 60 pounds between my third and fourth pregnancies but was never quite satisfied cause my precious boobs were forever sabotaged. Now I have those 50-60 pounds to lose again and it just doesn't seem worth it. ;)
A boob lift would be nice...but I don't think the effects would last very long. So like you, I'll stick with a good bra and call it a day.
NOTHING wrong with plactic surgery. If that's what you want GO FOR IT!
oh my gosh, i feel you on this one. i wonder everyday where my boobs went. what i do know is that they went south, that much is clear.
I am on the other side of the spectrum. My boobs are HUGE and just keep getting bigger. I am working out regularly now so, I hope to get them under control or I am going to have to have reduction:-( No fun:-(
oh how I long for my former boobs back! After I had #2 I thought wow the boobs stayed, but alas I was deceived by the milk. For another year of breastfeeding I got to enjoy the perky goodness. And now, well Im left with pancake boobs. Someone please pass the syrup.
I lost my boobs too. They are gone gone gone. And for awhile I considered a boob job but then I thought....wait, then I will have to have more sex. And I'll be just like everybody else in California. NO! I'm going to different, keep to less sex and enjoy smaller boobies. =)
Ack! I must be the only one who hated the preggers boobs. They hurt. Bad. And leaked. Yuck! I'd much rather have some of my butt removed. Then maybe I wouldn't be cursed with being shaped like two Hershey's Kisses stuck together.
Ok, this post cracked me up!
Honestly though, if I were to get plastic surgery I think I'd go for the tummy tuck to get rid of my twin skin. It bothers me. But at this point not enough for me to go through the pain of surgery... no matter the price.
I would like, just once, to have boobs. Now, if I can just persuade my husband to get me pregnant.... C to F is HUGE! WOW!
HA HA - I Loved my big chest when I was nursing with my son - they were huge and I had NEVER had big boobs before in my life - 3 people asked me if I got a boob job. On my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies and nursing routes - they were never that big again! So sad for me. NOW - NOW - I am less than was I was ever. I am back to pre-teen days!
Keep saving your pennies and maybe you can get Dr Rey to do them for you - you should send him this blog post and beg for free boob job - or discounted to be featured on his show!!
I agree whole-heartedly! I'm scared to see what mine will look like after Tyler's done nursing. I know it won't be pretty...
Love your pic!! Im wanting the same thing. My booobs look like flat pancakes right now and Im determines after were done having kids I will get my boobs back. I love your attitude about accepting your body and being proud of how it have gotten you through child birth ect.. I need to start thinking that way myself.
I agree totally! In fact my post, while not as elloquently stated, is on the same topic.
And you know what drives me NUTS?? When my hubby jokes around about my boobs. Men. Have. No. Idea. What we go through.
Yeah, you heard me. I just blamed this all on my husband! lol
Id love to have the tummy tuck but too scared to go through surgery. And Id also love to have a pill that would safely tan me so I pass going out into the heat.
Ha!! I am lopsided as well. I don't realize it unless I look at a picture.
LOL
I'm dreaming right along with you. Of boobs and a nice little tummy tuck!
*sighs* I miss my perky boobs too. They were so nice and full. Hell, I miss my pre-pregnancy boobs. I don't think I'd get implants, but I am maybe (maybe!) contemplating a boob lift someday.
I would love a boob job too. They were always small. But at least they were perky. Now they're miniscule and to me, they look like an old person's neck. With a nipple. *Sighs*
Don't wait... it's the best thing I ever did! Well, besides the whole getting married thing and having kids. Mmmmm... no I take that back. It was the best thing I ever did!!!
Hahaha! That pictures CRACKS ME UP!
I SO feel you on the boob thing. I have very small boobs, so during pregnancy and breastfeeding it was really like SHAZAM!
In fact, Brian was just talking the other night about he is excited for me to get pregnant in the next year or so so that he can watch the rise and fall of my girls.
I DID remind him that, even when they are big, they are WAAAY tooo sensitive to touch / filled with milk.
That put a damper on things! :)
I say, fill 'em up and cinch 'em up Jen! You deserve it!
Stopping by from Mama Kat's again! Ah yes, I was so proud of my pregnancy boobs, I remember looking in the mirror not being able to believe they were mine! Loved the post...so relatable!
In 1994 I had a breast reduction - taking me down from a whopping 34DDD to a manageable 34C. Sadly, nobody told me that when I got pregnant with my 1st that I'd get these enormous boobs again... and that when it was all over they'd never look like the perky boobs I'd paid for 9 years prior.
Unlike normal people, I can't STAND my boobs during pregnancy - they're back up to gigantic size and I REALLY look forward to them going back down... hopefully sooner than later.
And a lift? Heck yeah... next summer if I'm lucky!
I don't think there is a mother alive who wouldn't enjoy a lift. I'm not digging the surgery part though...if I could just blink them back I'd be down for that.
Last year I went through a phase where i thought I had to have an augmentation. Not a lift, mind you, something put into those flaps of skin that used to resemble small breasts. It's amazing what pregnancy and lactation can do to those suckers. :)
I have told my husband that as soon as we're done making babies, I'm getting a boob lift. He thinks I'm kidding. He's wrong.
Yep, my boobs are not the same after kids and nursing. They will never, ever be the same again...
One of my fave bloggers referred to her boobs as "tube socks with marbles in them". I like to call mine "ziploc bags of pudding". Either way, I think the description is spot-on.
I am so envious of my never-married friends with their perky, firm boobs. All with no stretch marks, I might add. Did your boobs get stretch marks? I mean, that's just cruel. At least God put our hips way down there so we couldn't see THOSE stretch marks quite as easily. But the boobie stretch marks? They're right out in front. Pretty hard to miss. That's just mean, God.
I'd love some new boobs too... not out of the question at some point in the future... seriously.. and I'd be totally doing it for me... hubby wouldn't object but those babies will be mostly for my enjoyment!!!
Can totally relate to this!
Oh YES! Oh, YES! I want my boobs back too! Now, they are just... daflated. Long and deflated.
I just once would like to fill out a c-cup....They are my wish list too. :)
