Tricks of perception ...

Here's a strange thing: my breasts are going through a growth spurt, and I really should get new bras (again). But instead of looking at my chest and thinking "my, do they look bigger!" I look at the bra I am about to put on and I think "gosh, does it look small!" Obviously, my bras are not shrinking -- and as little as two weeks ago this same bra actually looked big! -- but I simply (and quite literally, it seems) appear to be blind to the changes in my body. Ergo, to make sense of the situation my brain apparently decides the bra looks small instead.

Anybody else experience something similar?

  • Hear hear. Except for I'm a catastrophic thinker so I assumed pregnancy (which would be spectacularly ill timed), and when that proved to be false, cancer. Then I finally admitted that I *might* have grown since I was 20.

  • I like this. "Man! My bras are getting way smaller!"

    I also just adore your little one's smile in your picture (mostly the reason why I posted). My youngest is 2 and oh my goodness if I don't have the worst case of baby fever! I miss the snuggles of feeding time. Enjoy it :)
