Weekly Random 3/13

@aehogan90 oh those first set of molars were killers here too. I don't even remember what we did besides that there were a lot of nights I slept with DD in the guest room. We had to re-sleep train her after they came in.  Frozen waffles were one thing DD liked to chew on for them and Advil was the other helpful thing.  Hopefully, you'll get a break for the canines and second year molars. Thank goodness DD didn't have issues with either of those.

@bumpybump she got her first two teeth at 3.5 months and is almost 11 months now. Poor girl is the longest teether. We've had to give baby Tylenol for the other teeth but these are something else. Frozen waffles are a great idea - I'll definitely try that. Thanks! Hoping she gets a break after these.

@LivLew - I have a ton of bathing suits (usually accumulate one-two a year but had been about the same size for at least a decade) and just tried them on yesterday...only two tops fit! I can make another one or two work since vacation will just be DH and I but I wouldn't wear them around family when I go back home for Memorial Day Weekend.

I ordered 2 new bathing suits and one top to match some black bottoms that fit for our vacation in 3 weeks and the rest of the pregnancy (living in California, I've already had a couple of pool days so the season is long). I was so excited not to necessarily need to buy a maternity specific suit but with my current suits not fitting, now i'm worried my old suits will never fit again - from what I've heard, after the first baby, your boobs don't always go back to your original size but stay a size bigger at least. Not sure if this is the case for everyone.

@kvh22 my boobs reduced an entire cup size from my pre-pregnancy size after nursing.  I was a B cup before pregnant with DD and an A after. I'd say most of the people I know reduced cup sizes.

@bumpybump that's good to know, thanks. DH will be disappointed if that's the case, but i was on the upper end of my cup size and have a few a size smaller from before I got sized properly anyways so maybe most will still fit, which would be a nice benefit. I'm already a size up and these boobs without the growing belly might look a little disproportional.

The women on both sides of my family have never gotten back down to their pre-pregnancy cup size after they stopped breast feeding their first so genetics may be against me.

Oh no! I was a barely-A before getting pregnant. I'm enjoying being a full-A now. That's the one and only thing I hope I hang onto after the pregnancy experience!
I know everyone's different. Just really crossing my fingers. I just bought my first Victoria's Secret sexy lingerie bra not from the Pink collection, for goodness sake.
