New Year, New Underwear

I'm not really one for New Year's resolutions, so I can't say that I resolved to do a underwear drawer overhaul. But I was getting pretty sick of the granny panties and old bras I was bringing out every morning. I finally had a couple hours free this morning to make a trip to Nordstrom.

Underwear wasn't really a big deal and that part of the shopping trip was done in a few minutes, but I realized it had been awhile since my last proper bra fitting. The lady who took care of me was a no nonsense woman about my own mother's age. I was a little shy about being half-naked in front of her, but I figured she has just about seen it all, so I just went with it. With a whisk of her measuring tape and a professional eyeballing of my boobs, she was off to find me a new get-up (so to speak).

In about 15 minutes, I felt like a new woman. Apparently my mammary lumps have grown in pregnancy (although I don't remember anything this dramatic in my past two pregnancies) because I went up about 2 cup sizes. Crazy. I would have never picked out the size that she brought me, but these new brassieres were really comfortable! Wowsers!

I happily spent a small fortune. My rationale is that with this growing baby bump, I'm only going to get increasingly uncomfortable. Might as well make sure one area of my body will be getting enough support and pampering!

it's the small things that bring the greatest comfort.
