Milk.


After the miscarriage, for some odd reason, my milk came in. Lots of it.

One second everything was normal, the next my husband's face looked kind of like this -

O____O

and he's pointing at my chest. I look down and voila, I'm leaking from the right breast - shirt's wet in a perfect circle. A moment of silence followed, and suddenly I was flailing my way to the bathroom. Remember how I mentioned in the last post I have a messed up idea of how the human body works? Yeah.

My little human body was under the impression that I had just given birth to a baby, so naturally, milk time! I took it as a sign that my breasts are fully capable of feeding a small country (I grew I don't even know how many sizes, I was wearing sports bras the entire time) - POSITIVISM!

True, it was a painful reminder that I had lost a baby, but even my doctor said he was surprised any milk came in at all and that was a very healthy sign. I decided to be positive about this. Again: positivism!

I know what you're all wondering, sickos, so I'll share: I pumped some to try. I must say I make pretty good milk - HAPPY?! Also, I may or not have squished the source to see how far the milk would land, along with other childish manifestations. Don't judge me!

Finally, after a couple of weeks of hot towels, stained work shirts, and torture sessions aimed at Craig (kept telling him I was going to put some Jenny milk in his breakfast milk - drove him bonkers :) the milk started to wean, and life started to go back to normal.

So that was that. I wonder how it'll taste with eggnog? Guess we'll find out next year!

  1. You're sick. Lol But I tried mine, too. It taste like skim milk with lots of sugar.
