Close to my heart

I'm guessing you think that this is going to be some kind of sappy post but it isn't. I am going to get personal about something else that is close to my heart from a strictly location standpoint, my boobs. I'm now almost 7 months post-pregnancy and things are really starting to return to normal, or as much as they can. There are three very obvious to me changes that I am thinking are more permanent, at least until I get pregnant again. My hair is curlier, my feet are wider and my chest is smaller. As someone who never really had very much to begin with it is kind of disheartening to realize that I lost some of it. I finally broke down and ordered 2 new bras from Gap last week in an entire cup size smaller and a rib cage one size larger since my ribs have yet to fully return to their normal place. It's nice to have bras that actually fit now but I get sad when I look in the drawer and see all the nice ones that I just don't have enough to fill anymore. I certainly wouldn't trade the current situation with my body for Declan any day, it was totally worth it. I know that you aren't supposed to harp on appearance and people should just be happy with what they are given but I also think it is understandable to miss something you've been used to for like 20 years. It'll be interesting to see how things end up after the next pregnancy.
