Areola development questions

[link5019]

I'm offically 8 months into transtion! I was wondering if this is a common and normal thing with breast development, but like, I've noticed my areola's are really puffy. like normally they are puffy and don't blend with the contour, but when they get cold or just erect in general they blend in with the rest of the breast and it looks amazing and like normal boobs. You can't see the puffiness through a shirt or anything, but it's one of those things that kind of makes me nervous because it makes me think I'm developing tubular breasts, even though I'm pretty sure I'm not. I am a full C cup, 36C, and I know I'm only in the tanner stage 3 so the nipples shouldn't get puffy yet until stage 4 right? Also is it normal that when you raise your arms above your head for most of the boob to disappear at this stage of development? Like I'm a C cup, but then when I raise my arms above my head as far as I can go, I'm just left with a little bit of a boob, basically just looking like two sharp cones pointing from my chest with a little bit of shape on the outside edges showing the curve growing in. It's kind of an annoying thing, but my guess is that over time as I continue to develop that won't be an issue as my boobs get more shape and fill out more.

I can't speak for others but im a week away from officially 6 months on HRT (estradiol sublingual pills, spiro tabs) and all but the first month of that on the usual full transition dose but I've noticed that after the first week the areola became really puffy and has been that way since, right side more so then left especially the first 3 months but now left is only a little behind the right. Same thing happens to me when I'm cold or they get erect. I have no clue honestly what tanner stage I'm add but for the first 4 months I only noticed about a 1cm hard breast bud under each one (right slightly larger then the left) then in october I must have hit one of those spurts of grown that I always read is how they are grown as that lump is at least 1 inch and much more spread-out maybe about the size of a walnut and I can feel small lumps all over the remaining tissue not under the areola. The arm raising thing happens to me too. I'm guessing it's pretty normal though sorry for not having a more expert opinion >_< Haha

No, I actually love your response, it shows I'm not the only one lol. It's good to know it's normal with everything you said. It's just another one of those be patient and wait for them to develop moments it sounds like lol.
