The budding is the first semi-solid core that forms under the nipple, and can be felt as reacting differently from the surrounding flesh when you try to press down or sideways on it. Like a cooked meatball versus uncooked ground beef.

That's a very good analogy I think.

It hurts if I try to press down on my areolas, whereas I don't feel much of anything if I try to press down on a different part of my body. I also have to be careful when I'm carrying something or sleeping on my side in bed. I never had any of these experiences prior to starting NBE.

Since you've reported your breasts are becoming more sensitive, I would say you're on your way to developing feminine breasts.
