This post about Evelynn's milk really ...Becky, <br />This post about Evelynn's milk really touched me. When Eva died (at 10 months old) I was still nursing her and my engorged and painful breasts were more insult to the injury it felt like to me. I had pumped a lot of milk while she was in PICU and had all that in the freezer. When it came time to donate it I just couldn't part with it. It was all I had left of Eva. Her milk. I was so emotional about her milk I still cry even now as I write about it. That's it, now I'll have to blog about milk too:) Anyway, I'm in awe of how you were able to pump and donate so much of Evelynn's milk. I've since donated it privately but I still have a couple vials in the freezer. Too old to do anything with and I'll probably keep them forever.

I just blamed it on exhaustion, stress and other lame things. <br /><br />But anyway, im just keeping everything crossed that when your son comes, you'll be able to breastfeed him as much as you like. Your beautiful Evelynn and Liam will be always watching over you guys.little vitu's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01278601777604552101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985288635111425215.post-39836730940281513262013-05-11T16:41:16.563-08:002013-05-11T16:41:16.563-08:00What a wonderful story Becky!

I'm amazed that you did all that, but I totally understand why you did it in the first place and how it made you feel close to Evelynn. <br /><br />I'm still wide-eyed over 16 gallons!

I've heard inducing lactation tends to work better for people who have been pregnant before, so if it works you can tell Max it was all thanks to his big brother and sister.
