My name is Sil...
*** HI!!! *** :o)
I am a 31 year old stay at home Mum who is also studying university externally. I have a beautiful husband who is my soul mate and best friend, and we have 3 incredible daughters who along with my husband, are my whole entire world :o)
I am about to embark on a very special and exciting journey that is a dream come true for me, and I decided to blog my experience because this is a huge event in my life and I don't want to forget any of it :o)
But this blog isn't just about my special journey, this is also about me. Me, my ramblings, my thoughts and feelings etc regarding my journey, it's just a little blog of me :o) I love to write, I love to talk, and I am passionate about so many things, so I'll get my rambling out of my system and write away as I document my very exciting experience! :o)
So, what is this special journey?? :o) Well... I am going to have breast augmentation surgery! YAY!!!
I have wanted my breasts done since I was about 15 years old and realised all my friends in high school were growing boobs except me. I promised myself I would buy myself breast implants after I'd paid off my first brand new car that I had bought when I left high school, but instead, I met my amazing husband...
Do I believe in love at first sight?? Yes, I certainly do, and I know that's corny, but I really do. I'll never forget the day I met him, when I drove into the business he owned at the time and he came out to serve me. I fell in love with his beaming smile straight away and HAD to know this man!! My husband has one of those smiles that spreads across his whole face, showing his perfect teeth and lighting up the room around him, his smile is my favourite part of him :o)
My 'then boyfriend-now husband' and I fell into a whirl wind romance. One of those kinds that wraps you up together and sends you floating through the air in passionate, crazy, the-only-two-people-in-the-universe kind of love. We terrified our families when we announced our engagement after just 2 months together, and I think I aged my father about 50 years when I announced only 1 month after that, that we were going to have a baby. We were in such a deep love bubble that we didn't want to wait, we wanted it all now, so we started trying for a baby, and boom, two weeks later I was pregnant. Back then, our families, friends, and everyone else we knew thought we were these two crazy people who were making a huge mistake, but you know what? There IS such thing as love at first sight, my husband and I are proof of it, and 13 years later, he still sends shivers up my spine when he kisses me the way he does or looks into my eyes with his deep chocolate ones; and these days, we're even more in love then ever!
So instead of buying boobies when I was young and that first car was paid off, I had babies instead. My 3 incredible girls, and I breast fed all of them for the first 1-2 years of each of their lives. I told my husband throughout our years together that I still wanted to get my boobs done one day, just little reminders :o) and when we knew our last princess was definitely it and we weren't having anymore babies, I went to him one day and said "baby, I'd really love to get my boobs done now" :o)
I am SO glad that I didn't get my breasts done back when I was 18-19 years old like I had planned too. I would have wrecked them most likely after breast feeding my children, and I just don't think I would have researched the way I have now, and I probably would have just called up, booked them in and had them done by whoever was in the phone book at the time. I'm so happy that I'm doing them now. It's like my reward after all the years of breastfeeding and the pain of giving birth to babies etc, it's my special 'Mummy' reward at the end of it all :o)
As many breast feeding Mummies would know, breast feeding babies is not at all kind to your boobs. I have never been bigger then a B cup, but even those little B cup boobies turned into empty, saggy, floppy, out of shape deflated balloons on my chest, and I hated them :o( I spent 16 years wearing the most padded bras I could find and used chicken fillets and gel inserts in all my bras. I would snip into the lining of bikini's and togs so that I could put chicken fillets into them before going swimming, and every outfit or piece of clothing I ever tried on would depend on whether or not I could wear a super padded bra with it. If the clothing had no back or a low back, which you couldn't wear a bra with, I wouldn't buy it, because there was no way I was walking around without my padded bras and chicken fillets! My tiny little out of shape breasts were the woe of my day every day when I was getting dressed. It might sound vain, but I am a girly girl who likes to dress up pretty, wear perfectly applied make up and enjoy wearing heels, boots, gorgeous dresses, the perfect jeans, lovely smelling perfumes, and of course the perfect accessories (I'm a LOVER of the brand Guess, I love my Guess handbags, jeans, tops and purses... LOVE!!!! Hahaha!!!) So yes, my lack of breasts really annoyed me because it limited so much of the look I wanted and what I could wear. I have always been happy with my weight because that's never really been a concern for me, I never put weight on during my pregnancies and have always been a healthy size, it's just that the boobies didn't go with it, lol...
So finally, at 31 years old, my hubby has said to me "you know what? I don't think you need it, I love you the way you are, but I know how important it is to you, so yes, you can have them done..." That was a super exciting day for me. My hubby gave me the green light! YAY!!! :o) And after 2 years of researching prior to that, I got on that phone and started the ball rolling straight away, I already knew who I wanted to go through, and I knew that much about breast implants I reckon I could work for my surgeon, and be the information lady or something like that, because that is how much research I did! Hahaha!!! It is VERY important to me that I have the safest implants and procedure done to get them, I don't want to risk anything, and only want the best surgeon I can find as well. It's a big thing, and these implants will be in my body for the rest of my life, so I haven't gone about this decision lightly.
So here I am, FINALLY, about to get my breasts done, and I am having them done by the wonderful Dr Ces Colagrande on the Gold Coast. I am SUPER excited!!! :o)
I'll write more soon!
Love Sil xoxoxo
