Milestone!

Today feels like a big milestone. I was so excited I cried. When I would remember it, it would make me happy. I don't remember this happening when it occurred with Katie, so I'm not sure what makes it SO exciting this time, but something is. Maybe it's the fact that it's a sign that baby is coming soon and it's a bit of a wake up call, like this is REALLY happening, which sometimes is still hard to believe.

I'm LACTATING!

I've been checking every time I take a shower for a few weeks now, just to see when it would happen. I sort of gave up seeing anything before the baby was born by this time, but figured eh, might as well check. And today, I was easily able to get multiple drops of colostrum out of one side! Every time I squeezed, more came out, so it wasn't just a tiny amount. I must have been leaking from last night or through the day too.

It's funny, because this happened about an hour or less from when we were at the store looking at nursing pads. I didn't get any, thinking I wouldn't need to for a bit, but of course I've been proven wrong! I'm hoping I don't leak enough to have to use them already, but right now I'm excited enough to not care.

I love that even with only one ovary, I'm still able to not only breastfeed, but to have a very large supply when breastfeeding and I'm able to get milk in so early. It seems like my body is made to feed babies, no matter what!

Almost 32 days left!!
