colostrum


I've read about how some mom's get their colostrum in late into their pregnancy, but I never had that happen until now. I was very excited to wake up the other day feeling very full (and it wasn't because I had just ate...hehe) and then in the shower I noticed the drops of that white gold and I was just as happy as could be. Normally leaking breasts are more of an annoyance, but to me it meant our baby is almost here and my body is ready, willing, and able to give him all he needs. It's the one thing I can do for him that no one else can, which is an especially important thought considering I am a working mom and will leave him in my husband's capably hands during the day. It's nice to know I can give him something wonderful still in spite of working and I am so excited for it to show up this early!
