Bosom Buddies

These two are my bosom buddies in so many ways! I have finally weaned Caroline and ended up nursing her for about a month longer than Julia. She finally caved and started drinking formula. I kept nursing at night and in the morning for awhile and then I decided that I was ready to be done. Like usual she had other ideas and got sick. At the peak of her sickness, she wasn't drinking bottles and would only nurse. The doctor said it would keep her hydrated so the milk supply came back. However a couple weeks ago I nursed her for the last time. Funny how I can remember so clearly with both the last time I nursed them. Such a special bond, but I always get to the point where I am ready to be done. It is a personal decision and different for everyone. I love when mothers of new babies always get together because our conversation always goes to the ups and downs of breastfeeding!

So the other day I threw those nursing bras away. They needed to go! However, after nursing two babies, not having a clue what size bra I needed, and realizing everything in my drawer didn't work I broke down and set out to go bra shopping. I hate bra shopping! I don't know why I do but I hate spending money on bras and get over whelmed the minute I walk in. Funny how I hate spending money on something I wear ever day.

So I took Oprah's advice and went to get sized. We all remember that Oprah episode where Nordstroms comes in and starts sizing the audience. I laughed when women were completely oblivious to what size bra they needed. Yup I became that woman! Lets just say the girls aren't quite what they used to be and they needed some intervention. So off to Nordy's I went and this nice Russian woman went to work. My jaw dropped when she told me what size bra I needed. Excuse me, that isn't my size. That would be a size my mom would wear. No offense mom, but I never in a million years thought I would hear that size. I was not only wrong on the cup size but my back size as well. So instead of having to go through racks of bras my new friend started hauling all different bras into the dressing room. I, still in complete denial of my new size was sure they wouldn't fit, but they did and they felt great. Why didn't I do this sooner!!!! So now I am the owner of three new bras from Nordstroms! I am telling you every woman should go to Nordstroms and start trying on some bras. It will change your life!
