amy g. Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I've got standard hardcovers, but I REALLY need help finding a great bookcase that is comfortable and attractive.

FaithManor Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Magic Treehouse size or phonics reader should have been an option! Gravity has not been kind to my little library collection.

Ria Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Ok, this is a big reveal. I had surgery this spring. When I had my ileostomy reversed 13 years ago the surgeon cut me 3 inches above my belly button, through the navel, and down past my c-section scar. Then half of that scar (the upper half, of course), became swollen and red....keloid...ugh. So, scar plus c-section plus 6 kids in under 8 years....my abdomen was a mess. I was so sick of the scar and flab I couldn't stand it. I don't weigh much (128) but my stomach? Rolls. Flub. Scar. Muscles ripped apart, never to return to their former state. After years of thinking about it, I saw a plastic surgeon and had the scar removed (yes!!)....and a tummy tuck was a major part of that surgery. Back to the books: My lower half was going to look good. So I did it. I had my books lifted because there was a significant sag and droop. But, because propping them up made them less than what they had been, I added a little. Very little, enough to replace the sag. They are not coffee table books. But they are darn good books. I have no regrets. I hope you will not judge me harshly. When I get my before and after pics of my stomach I'll post them...I have gone from wearing a cami under everything lest my shirt ride up and someone die from shock and horror to wearing a bikini. I feel good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairnmama Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I am so thankful for what nursing did to my books!

Terabith Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 38 K I've never been able to buy a shelf at a store. Well, not since I was in third grade. (Precocious Puberty) I was able to deal with engorgement issues by tapping myself off. I teach music to toddlers and I have a group of one year olds who all jump with their arms crossed over their chests. I need to get reduction surgery badly; I'm having bad back issues. I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon in October. I'm terrified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I am thankful for nursing. Before nursing, mine were 38DD but now we are down to about a full C. While nursing my oldest however, I had to get a 42 G cup bra. So glad that didn't stick with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
