Breast implants. Hmmm... I picture lots of moms rolling their eyes. Well, I have them. In fact, I've had my implants for 14 years today! After my first daughter was born in 1998 I decided I was going to get breast implants. I was a size 34 B on a good day! After having two kids and breast feeding they looked like banana boobs. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about!! It was so unattractive and I hated how I looked in clothes so I did it. They came out fabulous! Not too big and not too small. In fact, most people didn't even know they were fake unless I mentioned it. Fast forward 5 years later and "POP!" Yep, my right implant ruptured. I had to go back to the surgeon and have them both removed and a new set put in. At the time I was so over it that I almost just had them permanently removed. I was older and much more confident in who I was and how I looked. Plus, the whole "itty bitty titty" thing was kinda in. ha ha ha
I went forward with the surgery mostly due to the fear of how my body would now look with the implants gone. The ruptured side already looked like a deflated balloon. Yuck!
That was 9 years ago! I'm am terrified now of another rupture! I am currently breastfeeding Riley and this is the longest I've ever gone. She is so rough with them that I'm just waiting for the day one looks bigger than the other. I'm constantly asking myself what I will do at that point. I still love them but I don't think I "need" them like I used to.
Okay, yes, this is a strange post. I'm just rambling now. What I really wanted to say is...
Happy Birthday, Girls!!!

Happy Birthday to your "girls!" I used to be really uncomfortable with the idea of implants. Then I worked for a cosmetic surgeon and had to get over it! You'll make the right choice when it comes around :)
I have only nursed one child and I can't believe how much it has changed mine ;) I think when I am finished having children I will consider implants!
