who knew it would be so complicated

Why is it so incredibly difficult to find a good comfy bra that fits while nursing!?!?!?! I have had the HARDEST time EVER finding a good nursing bra that fits and is comfortable. Even when I was nursing Isabella I never found a good bra. Motherhood maternity didn't know what they were talking about when it came down to bras... they said i was a 36D when I was nursing Isabella when i wore one of THEIR bras in and was falling out of it... (36E)... yea no way I'm fitting into a 36D. So I did some research online to try and figure out how to find my own bra size... who knew there were so many different ways to figure out bra size? and to know that some of the ways just aren't correct!!
After Isabella weaned and I was sure my boobs weren't shrinking anymore I went and got fitted at Nordstrom (which there aren't any in this area...) BUT i was a 34DDD or (F) WHOA that's a jump when pre-pregnancy size was a 34C! Now I am nursing my 2nd child and after taking a "poll" of other nursing mothers online I figured my size wouldn't change too much with him... I was wrong! :( I FINALLY found 2 websites with the SAME WAY OF MEASURING YOUR BRA SIZE!!! YES!!! One site actually used my exact measurements as their example!! WOO HOO FOR ME!!! So I am now a 34H... CRAZINESS... SO I have to order some new bras online because no one sells bras in that size in a store in this area... :( Muchless a nursing bra!! It just baffles me that stores that sell maternity clothes and nursing bras do not sell bras with a small band and a larger cup size... because well your boobs can grow drastically during pregnancy and nursing and your body doesn't necessarily have to grow drastically with it!
BUT my excitement is that 2 of the 4 bras I ordered came in the mail today!! WOO HOO!!! I get them out and try them on... and one is just a tad too small in the cup and the other is just a tad too large in the cup! SERIOUSLY! hahaha why is it difficult!? but I am excited that I have a bra called HotMilk! :) oh yea!!!

I am waiting on my other 2 to get here... but it will be a week or so! :( boooo


and tomorrow I should receive my cloth diapers along with cloth wipes and wipe solution!!! :) YAY FOR CLOTH!!!

I am also feeling better the past 2 days... coping a little better each day! I am getting sunshine and taking my crazy pill and getting a little more rest thanks to nursing in bed! :)

now off to make dinner!!!
