Making Drops

I started pumping as part of my lactation induction protocol. I've stopped the BCP, continuing on with the Domperidone, and have started taking my milk-making herbs. And I'm supposed to be pumping every 3 hours. Ironically, I don't have a problem getting up in the night to pump, but during the day I keep forgetting. But I am making little drops of something white. Doesn't taste like milk yet. Every once in a while, I make about 1 cc - still a tiny amount, but more than drops.

I talked with a lactation consultant yesterday, and she had some great advice. We have an appointment set up for Monday morning.

Meanwhile, we leave tomorrow bright and early to meet who I hope will be our baby. Then we will meet the birthparents. I am excited, anxious, and hopeful. I know we will have to share her - the birthfamily who hasn't had an opportunity to meet her are very eager to see her - but really I just want to hunker down skin-to-skin in our bed and breakfast suite. But we've been patient (granted as far as adoptions go we haven't had to be very patient at all!), and we can wait a bit longer to have her all to ourselves.
