An "uplifting" experience

Today, I decided to suck it up and go get some new bras so I didn't dread getting dressed every morning. Let me tell you, I feel about a million times better right now with my new bra on! I'm also fully aware that they are going to just get bigger so I got two in the size I am now (36D) and two in the next size up (36DD). I tried the bigger ones on and honestly, they weren't all that huge on me so I know I'll at least have something ready to wear when I need it. And all I have to say is thank goodness for Kohl's! I haven't shopped there too much, but I was able to get some bras that were both comfortable and cute as well as reasonably priced. Which is good, since I'm sure I'll grow out of these 4 bras by the time I'm done with this pregnancy. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Kohl's doesn't sell DDD/F sizes so I may have to hit up a maternity store when/if we get that far. I can't possibly imagine getting that big but I'm sure it's possible!
In other news, I'm still quite exhausted. I'm up and running for a few hours every day and then I just feel wiped out the rest of the day. Fortunately I've been able to get a handle on the nausea and keep it somewhat under control. My husband has also been totally amazing and does anything he can to help me out. :)
Question for all you soon-to-be-mamas out there: Did you ever feel a little down at times because you felt totally not in control of your own body? Being the control freak that I am, I all of a sudden got a little anxiety about it. Before pregnancy, if I was feeling fat, I knew I could kick my own butt at the gym to tone up a bit or do a little better with my eating habits. Now, I feel totally at the mercy of hormones and exhaustion. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I don't want to lie and say I feel perfectly happy all the time now that I'm pregnant. I'm honestly a bit scared of what's to come. So many life changes, including all the physical ones. I have a feeling this will get a little easier once I can talk to my mom about it. We're planning on telling my parents over Valentine's Day weekend since we have a trip down to Florida to visit them then - and I'll be comfortable enough telling them when I'm 9 weeks. Sometimes a girl just needs to talk to her mom. :)

 | Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Jan. 25, 2014 9:07pm I wish I was only going up to a DD. I came into this pregnancy at a HH cup size. Ugh! The maternity stores don't even carry my size. Thankfully there is a specialty bra store in the city that carries much much larger sizes. Even larger than what I'm wearing. I can't wait for a breast reduction! |
 | Comment from LeslieAM » Posted Jan. 25, 2014 9:26am I know what you mean about feeling out of control. I'm 37 weeks and can't wait to meet my son but there is also a hint of selfishness behind it for me. I need to be able to start a diet and exercise like I used to lol |
 | Comment from jennavee » Posted Jan. 24, 2014 9:43pm I was DDD pre-pregnancy....it's been a constant struggle finding decent bras! I can't find them ANYWHERE! Right now, I'm wearing 38F. It sucks super bad because "plus-size" gives me the right cup size, but starts at like 42. ARGH! Cacique does have a good selection, it just comes down to availability and comfort! |
