Sharing...
So I haven't been able to decide weather or not to share this info with my fellow bloggers, but it has been such a great experience...I decided I just had to! I went in this past Thursday and had a breast-reduction. Anyone who knows me knows, I'm a busty girl! Well, my back hurts all the time. Clothes never fit right. I'm REALLY self conscious about them. So I decided it was time to do something about it. Because of the back pain, my insurance covered the surgery 100 percent. Another little perk is, a reduc is also a lift. HELLO! REally needed that too. So far, recovery has beeen not too horrible. MAtt's grandma Dona and his cousin Mallory came out for a week to help us out and have been absolutely WONDERUL. I can't even tell you how great they have been. The kids love them both to death. Matt has been so good to me and taken such good care of me. So all I have to say right now is this: If you have big boobs and back pain and hate your big boobs, GO TALK TO A DOCTOR! Your insurance will probably cover it! The question most of you moms are probably wondering...will you be able to nurse? It's a 50/50 chance. If I can't, I can't. Kids do just fine on formula all the time. If I can nurse, I will. I figure if I keep giving my kids 100 percent of myself, but maybe can't nurse, they'll grow up to be happy and healthy still, with a WAY happier Mom! :) 8

Wow! If you have another baby and try to nurse, will it undo all the work? Will they get big again? What insurance do you have? I need your insurance!
joanna- my email is sarapowell21@hotmail.com
Jefrilyn- Ummm, there is gravity, so over time the lift may get saggy again. But I didn't care as much about that part as I did about the size. They will react the same way did to my other pregnancies- get bigger when I'm pregnant, then go back down when I'm not. He said just if I gain a whole bunch of wieght, they may get bigger (of course). So I'm just going to try to keep staying healthy and active so they don't get big. We'll see what happens! :)
ps- I have Tri-care, you have to be military to have it. So good luck! :)
