What happens to your boob size once you've been breastfeeding for a while?

Perhaps a stupid question, but I was wondering whether people have found their boobs got smaller/reverted back to normal size at some point whilst breastfeeding? I hate the ample size of my chest at the best of times, but (as I'm feeding DD2 right now), I'm really struggling. Having said that, I'd love to continue beyond 6 months and wondered whether I stand a chance of my boobs going back to a roughly 'normal' size at any point whilse bfeeding?

Mine don't go back to normal size until I've completely finished feeding, but they're definitely not as full as in the first few months. After ds, they went back to normal (small, but quite perky), after dd they were small, flat and empty and I was really unhappy with them. Now feeding ds2 and once he's finished with them am considering expressing forever, just to keep them pumped up! As for nipples, they're dangling as well. SIL recently had a breast reduction and her consultant said that small breasts get smaller and large ones get larger after feeding. Not sure that's completely true, but it is in my case.
