Thanks @Encchanted. I did try that earlier. He actually fell asleep shortly after my first post. I just checked on him and he's sleeping soundly. I feel so bad and I just want to cuddle him. Hoping it was just the late and long nap that he had today.
@casey78 that is super exciting about your trip! However I should point out you could have flown to Canadian Wine Country instead of staying in boring warm texas.
@simone711 not at all! I wanna meet all the J13 mamas I can... however I have to admit I have a TB crush on @casey78... so basically I am the loser here LOL

I was curious so I googled it and an article in the huffing ton post says the average bra siZe in the US is now a 34DD.
It was a 34B 20 years ago.
I wonder what it is up here? Its almost impossible to buy a bra bigger than a D cup in any size in Canada. It is crazy.
I went to bed super early last night so I am just now catching up.
That stat is crazy because if is stupid hard to find a bra in a 34DD here too!
34D, yes, but to find a DD you usually have to go up to 36. You can't just go anywhere, like to target. You have to order online, from a "real" bra store. Which means spending twice as much. At the hanes outlet, they told me they only make 3 styles that have a 34DD, out of hundreds of styles.
That stat is also interesting because so many women are supposedly wearing the wrong size. Bra fitting is a fascinating subject lol. I highly suggest reading this blog post, and the links in it to everyone
The blogger went from wearing a 38B to a 34D once she learned how to fit a bra properly, and even how to put it on properly.
I think I find it fascinating because I am eternally in search of the right fit. Most recently I went into a Soma store to get fitted properly. The woman there measured me as a 36C. I laughed, but she brought me some to try on. They were WAY too small, and she laughed too then, so she brought me a 36D, which was also too small. So then she brought me a 36DD, which was better, but just not right. I think I need a 34F or something like that, but that doesn't exist anywhere here for me to try on, I would have to order online or go to a bigger city with more specialty stores.
My size is weird because my boobs are really big around , but they don't stick out very far if that makes sense. Like I need the underwire from a really big cup size, but my boob doesn't fill the cup. I think that's why I measure smaller than I am.
@mrshudson618, do you have a Nordstrom near you? They've done an amazing job with both of my fittings, and they weren't much more than soma (which measured me at 34D rather than 32DDD most recently). At peak of nursing, I was in 32H. Nordstrom had multiple nursing bra options in stock in my size.
