Houston, we have colostrum!

FINALLY!

Oh, right, TMI Disclaimer - this post is 90% about my boobs. Skip if you're offended.

Anyway, FINALLY! Finally the first signs that my breasts are good for something other than free drinks, getting my way with the opposite sex and making me easily recognizable from a distance. I was beginning to become quite dismayed at the lack of progress the girls were making as it related to my pregnancy body. They didn't swell to amazing size, they were never particularly sore or tender and aside from some odd sensations of interior tickling they didn't do much of anything. They've just been sitting, waiting, getting dwarfed by my expanding belly, much to my chagrin.

This morning I'm showering and checking out my chest meat, as I do every morning. I'd been noticing stretching, cracking and expanding of the holes in my nipples, so I knew they were doing something. But today when I squeezed ever so slightly, again as I do every morning, I almost yelped for joy at seeing liquid emerge from not one, but BOTH of my nipples. My boobs are working!!!! They're doing exactly what they are supposed to do and I really couldn't be happier.

So there we have it. Way much more information than you ever wanted to know about my breasts. If you ignored the disclaimer and read to the end and are offended, don't act like I peed in your Cheerios. You were warned.

I HAD to get this out. I was going to tell Joshua, but as he's sleeping, with one of my eye masks over his face no less, (which I should take a picture of because it's really quite hilarious) and since the cats respond with a meow no matter what I tell them, I figured I'd just let my joy out on the blog.

JOY!!
