I think that in the days of spell check and the ability to insta-google a dictionary, everyone's spelling should be on point. It's not cool for an adult to write "(sp?)" in their facebook post when they could so easily CHECK that "sp." I misspell words all the time, but when that little red line pops up, you best be sure I do my darnedest to fix it. (Typos get a pass, willful ignorance does not. I'm a kid of 2 teachers, too.)
@bumpybump - totally agree with you - I can't say I like my larger boobs now (and just noticed stretchmarks on them, but on the bottom). I have a picture when I got professional ones done with my sisters, who both wear super padded bras, of me pushing mine up with a silly face so they looked more like theirs, haha.

I'm on the itty bitty titty committee so, I love that my boobs have gotten bigger- my DH doesn't mind that my small B's (like probably A's but I digress) are now Full B's. I fill out tops, I fit in cute bras, and I've found the tops, etc that tie right under my boobs give me an actual bit of shape and look like a cute bump not a giant egg from chest to hips.

@smallbutmighty77 Enjoy being able to fit into shirts that tie right under boobs. After a certain size, the seams start to hit you mid-boob. Most things that are empire waist fit incredibly awkwardly on my body. I'm just glad I'm getting away with bra extenders and sports bras instead of investing in new bras.
My unpopular opinion. I'm not picking a religion for my kid. I personally am Jewish (my mom is Jewish and my dad is Hindu), my "babydaddy" is Christian, and I live in Texas where Christian holidays are hardcore celebrated. I think I'm just going to have a Xmas tree, light a menorah, go easter egg hunting, celebrate Diwali, and preach science.
@dinofreak I am a horrible speller and I find that the bump has the worst spell checker. I will get the red squiggle and it will suggest a word way off from what I am looking for so then I have to go to google who gets it on the first try. It adds a whole level of hassle but I still do it because I can't ignore the red squiggle.

I hate shirts that have that "defined" chest area. They never hit me in the right spot. Pre-pregnancy I was a 34DD. I am now up to a 36DDD and afraid of what I will look like when the baby is born. All I can say is they better go back down. If not, I would seriously consider a breast reduction.
@LeA2017! This is way more talk about my boobs than I'd normally have with people I don't know My nice not saggy or floppy 34DD's did return to their 34DD size but the shape is so sad. I know not all women have saggage after baby and breastfeeding but I was not one of the lucky ones..
Since we are on the topic of boobs, will the stretch marks on my boobs disappear? I went from a 34 C to currently a 36E. I have these sad purple marks EVERYWHERE.

My boobs shrunk to even smaller than prior to my pregnancy with DD after I was done breastfeeding. Plus, they got saggy (who knew an A cup could be saggy!?). Mine are back to bigger now and gosh are they heavy and dense. I actually miss being smaller chested and can't imagine the sizes some of you say you have.

Am i the only one whos boobs didnt change an iota? I stayed the same thoughought pregnancy, breastfeeding and now second pregnancy. - im glad because its saved me money in bras, but most people have changes?
@Nxy Add me to the list of saggy boobs following BFing. They also got a little smaller after I stopped BFing DS2. It's not like I had a large chest before kids so that was disappointing.
I went up a cup size by 20 weeks with DS1, the middle to end of the first trimester with DS2 and almost immediately with this one. I actually don't mind the larger size now, but then going up at least another cup size while BFing is a bit much. I just hope they don't go down even more this time around.
@clairemwalker my itty bitty titties (32B) didn't change with my first pregnancy. They did get a little bigger while nursing just because they were full of milk but after she ate, they looked normal size again. This pregnancy though they've gotten a lot bigger. I haven't bought any real-sized bras to know the exact difference because I've just been wearing nursing bras and sports bras but I'd say I'm probably 34C or 34D now. Which is a big change for me. Part of me hopes I keep them when I'm finished nursing this one. I'm not sure how big they'll get when my milk comes in this time.
