How funny, my nipples are probably the only thing I actually dislike about my boobs (aside from the right being smaller I mean but I don't dislike the boob itself lol). From the front I don't mind 'em but I HATE their puffiness =\ You two make me appreciate them more. Funny how SELF esteem is so easily tied in to OTHER people =P
@Abi: Lol thanks! I noticed the other day that my nipples actually point forward now instead of opposite directions =) and I think the perkier-ness comes from actually having a little under boob now lol.
@tibetan: Thank you much. I'd have to say only the areola, but I was 16 and my nipples were still puffy anyway so they didn't increase by much. The main difference afterward would have to be lack of fullness. But keep in mind I didn't have a baby and thus wasn't suckled. I think it is the physical act of breastfeeding that causes nipple changes more so than just lactating. So a pump would likely cause change =) but you also could just massage and pull on them yourself. I've even found a nip massage that lightens them =) but I never remember to do it.
Furthernote on my pregnancy: I thought about the fact that breasts fully develop during pregnancy. This led to wondering how a breast just out of stage three (I think my right was still in three to be honest) would be affected by being rushed through stage four; and, to further have development completely halted while transitioning to five...After a quick Google search ;-) I found that I indeed f'd up my growing process. It is even being debated as to whether or not the transitional state breast cells are in while developing (i.e. pregnancy) pose a higher cancer risk to women whose first pregnancy was not full term (i.e. me =\). Basically my breast cells are stuck in a transitionary state which is why some think cancer is more of a risk. I suspect (and am hoping) this also means NBE will be a little less tough for me. For the previously stated reason; and the fact my mother, sister, both grandmas and three out of four (one is a drug user) aunts are all very well endowed. Oh and cousins on both sides even LOL.
Update: I have finally figured out and sourced the items for my diet. The only meat I will be consuming is Bison that has been pasture raised and (real not FDA standard) organically grass fed. Bison is one of the best meat sources for balanced Omega3's and 6's and is high in CLA. Bison are also argued to be one of the few mammals who do not get cancer (after some research I found there are a few cases but the animals living conditions were questionable). Among the standard cuts I will be eating liver and adrenals once a week (YUM! Lol) in hopes that it help my adrenals the way ovary helps hormones...looked for that but no go...they had testes though. I will also only be eating raw dairy products including: eggs, cream, milk, cheese, cultured butter and something I just discovered called kefir which is like yogurt on steroids lol. While all the above products are being shipped, the farms are located a few hours from me. And I will be buying all my produce and as much of my dry goods as possible from my local farmer's market. Hurray for northern California! x) I'll have to wait two weeks for the meat and dairy (shipping doesn't take that long but the s/o's first check will lol) but the produce starts tomorrow.
I have tried to base our diet on what our ancestor's ate based on the findings of Weston A. Price. Being that I'm a mix of: Irish, Choctaw, whatever Euro cultures my maternal grandmother was, cherokee and whatever African cultures make up my father's side; And he is: Irish, Portugeuse, Spanish and Blackfeet....we had a pretty wide array.
