Yesterday I excitedly went for my second expansion but I will tell you that I was very nervous. I am learning I am quite the nervous Nelly. The night before I had found a way to finally sleep, mostly on my right side and it felt so great to relieve my back. I'm not sure how long I slept that way but when I woke up something was waaaaay off. I could tell that my expanders had shifted somewhat and I had something poking out of the top of my left boob and was sure I had BROKEN MY BOOBS! They were sore and squishy and not right but I tried not to fret as I went to work. I practically ran to my appointment and was so relieved when he kindly informed me my boobs were indeed NOT broken, that it's okay to sleep on my side and I'm healing as perfectly as I should. I'm sure he thinks I'm a freak but man I get so worried about these damn boobs! He did my 2nd expansion, putting me at 180 cc's so far and can I just tell you, I LOVE THEM! I have real cleavage! I'm not even to my pre-surgery size yet, and already they look soooo different because they are lifted, round, and much more firm. I test drove them out today in my new bathing suit top as I can now get in the water! I had to buy a new top as the shape of these expanders are extremely different then my old, real boobs and none of my old tops fit comfortably due to the ever present swelling. Check them out in my new VS Pink top: I really am not sure how many more "fill-ups" I am going to need at this point but I'm scheduled to stop at 300 cc's and then go one more time to make extra room for the new implants! After the final expansion, I have to let them sit for 2-3 weeks and then out with these hard things and in with my new teddy bear boobies. YAY!
