Milk

Today is my first day pumping breastmilk, after drugging myself for 9 months!  I have been on an induced lactation protocol that consisted of meds to fool my body into thinking it was pregnant (and now to think that it has given birth), so that I can make milk.  Now I have stopped one medication and am going to be pumping every few hours for several weeks until I build up a supply.  After a plentiful milk supply is established, I'll work my way down to just a few pumpings a day to maintain it.  Then, I can always build the supply up again when we get a baby.  I got a teaspoon and a half the very first 7 minutes I pumped, which is fantastic!!!!




Now all we need is a baby...
