I’m fat. But not as fat as I was after Tess was born. That leaves me in between sizes.
Bra sizes. (Can I get a “what-what” fellow nursing moms!?!?!?")
My before-Tess bras are too small and my right-after-Tess bras are too big.
I have a double boob.
You know the double boob. It fits me right after I nurse, then my gals fill up and try to bust out.
I was lamenting about this recently and came across this video I took after Cy was born – almost exactly two years ago. (7/16/2010)
Cy was about 3 weeks old and I was invited to the opening of the new {intimacy} store in South Coast Plaza. I was professionally fitted by the founder, Susan. Did you know every time you put on your bra, you are supposed to lean forward and let the “ladies” fall into their cups? I didn’t.
I took this video in the car right after the fitting. It was the first time I had taken my three kiddos out by myself (I was so proud to have three kids!). They were wild in the store and I remember being flustered when I was trying to shoot this video. I think I did a pretty good job considering I had to set up the shot with my canon and all three kiddos were in meltdown mode. The whole first part I’m talking to my kids about the video then I “turn on” for my segment. I had intended to cut the first part out for the blog but never got around to it. I’m glad I didn’t. I love getting a glimpse into my parenting style. Now you can too. And you can get the three bra fitting tips I learned as well.

You’re such a good parent, not telling them to shush and giving them a chance to “talk” at the beginning. You took the wind out of their sails and they let you get through the video! Eliza and I enjoyed watching your video and were hoping for a glimpse of the kiddos at the end.

I’ll have to post some! AND we need to skype the new house. Even if it’s without the kids.

i LOVE it! Great video. I like when you were asking them to be quiet and I could hear Cora Jane whispering. hehe I need to get on over to that store. I STILL haven’t made it. I am sure I am wearing the wrong bra. And I only have 3. I’d love to have 5-7 but at $50+ a pop, that gets expensive. I’ve been shopping at Nordstrom Rack to find my bras on sale. But I really want to go to Intimacy. Hopefully soon.
Kristin A. says
p.s. you are not fat.
Eli's Lids says
You are too kind! Honestly, I don’t mind my weight or size, but I really really really want my clothes to fit again.
AND I’m back on myfitnesspal. Starving and cranky. You haven’t been on lately. I’ve started working out so I can eat nutella.

Ps
I really like the target bras… Gillian & something, I think. And (believe it or not) the Fredricks bras… ONLY $25.

I and my (3) ill fitting bras loved this! I always dry my bras by hooking them on the car antaenna and driving around town for 20 minutes! (I’ve gotten used to the stares at stop lights) love You – Mom

You need more bras. Not to wear, but for a bra bunting to hang across the front of the house.
(you are funny, but I’m funnier)
