This evening we got a call that the baby was just born and the birthmom wants to move forward with the adoptive placement. This means that we could have a baby at home in just three days -- I'm in complete shock! I'm assuming I stop taking the Ortho 1/35, start pumping and start taking the herbs -- just less prep time than recommended for the accelerated protocol. Any other words of wisdom for me?

Oh and pump like a mad woman until you get that baby to your breast. Do you have a lact-aid? You will need to nurse with that until your milk is in. Once you have baby at breast you should pump after feeds and only if you can fit it in. Don't make yourself crazy. Nursing with the lact-aid is better at bringing in supply than a pump anyday. Just make sure you have agood latch and see an IBCLC to have it checked. Congrats Momma!!! Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
