The milk truck has arrived.

This post just might be too much information for some you. If you that is you...quit reading right now and let it be known that you were warned.

Yesterday my milk arrived in its full glory. I mean I thought my belly could stretch, but holy cows (no pun intended) this is a whole new ball game. I told Carl I think my cup size went from an A at the beginning of this pregnancy to an LMNOP or somewhere close to that.

I have always had ample supply of milk enough to feed more than one baby, but today I think I could start filling gallon buckets. I pumped off 12 oz just relieve the pressure and then I nursed my baby until he was milk drunk. I thought it would have been funny to pump off 16 oz just to say that I lost one pound sitting in my rocking chair. Not many people can say that in days worth of work. There you have it - me being completely honest about my day.

Want to know another funny random side note since I am on the topic of breast milk. If you read the fine print in recipe contests, they say you can't use breast milk in your recipes. You can't go to the grocery store and get that. I wonder if you could, what would the price be per gallon?

Funny stuff! I've always wondered about breast milk in recipes... I suppose the heat of baking would destroy any possible goodness, huh? LOL Hope the settling in is going well...

LOL...we joked about if it could be substituted for sweetened condensed milk in some recipes as a "healthier" alternative! :)

I searched on Google. BlissTree.com noted a completed sale on 1/11/07 of human breast milk at $1.75 per ounce with a $14.00 flat rate for overnight shipping. Even w/o the shipping it would cost $224 for a gallon of breast milk. WOW! Jack is getting the best of the best. Enjoy your evening. I'll miss seeing you tomorrow. Susan

Breast milk - the most natural chest enhancing drug - now that is something only God can do! Hope your body adjusts soon - but it is something to be thankful for that you have no short supply for little Jack.
I love your straightforward blogs BTW - it makes me feel like i dropped in for a visit although the real thing WOULD be way better but I'll take this too. : )
Love you!
