Whoa.
What the heck???
THIS is starting NOW ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ?
I'm talking about discovering . . .
Liquid gold in them thar hills . . .
Mother's tea . . .
The non-bovine version of your favorite breakfast drink . . .
L to the ACTATION.
To say that I was not prepared and shocked is an understatement. At first, I couldn't figure out what was going on and came to the naive conclusion that I was sweating. Not that I'd ever sweat on top of Old Smokey (ies) before, but -- hey . . . I've learned anything is possible when your pregnant.
Then I realized sweat was typically colorless.
H. O. L. Y. C. O. W.
(literally)
I have to admit, when I figured it out, my stomach turned a little bit. I escaped morning sickness, but the sight of milky white (pun intended) liquid seeping out of a previously dry area was a nearly more than my tummy could handle. Why? I have ABSOLUTELY no idea.
It was just weird.
I'm sure I'll get used to it and will become comfortable with it . . . eventually.
My husband, on the other hand, may never become accustomed to this new phenomenon.
By the way, in case you were wondering, YES. My husband did revert to his 12 year old self when I informed him of our new pregnancy development. There were 12-year-old-boy comments, jokes, snickers, and pranks galore.
Sigh.
I don't think I want him in the room the first time I attempt breast-feeding.

The fun begins! It is an awkward thing at first, but I assure you, before too long you won't even notice it! (Kind of sad, I know!)
I think that is a GOOD sign! I never leaked while I was pregnant, and I had terrible supply issues.
I haven't had that happen just yet but I'm sure it's coming...when you have babies close together your body has a FAST memory for everything it just went through! Time to get some bra pads and bags of frozen peas :)
Oh Rachel. You make me smile lol. Big hugs. It's definitely something you will get used to ... eventually lol.
Never had that happen to me before my babies were born. Very cool! And yes, men are boys.
I have been nervously awaiting this to happen. IT hasn't yet (so maybe it won't till Hunter is born?) however my hubby still now calls my girls "milky jugs". Yes, men ARE just 12 year old boys trapped in grown-up bodies! LOL
Eventually you'll get used to it :) it happened to me a lot!
boys are so immature! LOL!!!
Time to get some breast pads! Lanisoh brand are the very best- don't even try anything else. I think Target carries them?
Also, I have a 4 month old and this is my 2nd baby and I JUST now discovered the supplement Fenugreek and how much it helps with nursing and milk supply. FYI!
this cracked me up...
"L to the ACTATION"
*giggle*
good times.
This is what happened to me! And Hubby also made the 14-year old boy jokes. I was on the computer, typing away, in a certain type of shirt, looked down and screamed: "I'm leeeeeeaking!" yeah, Hubby loved that. Just loved it.
Your hubby makes me laugh, there is a twelve year old boy trapped in all our adult husbands! :))
Oh my what fun! I feel for ya and for a woman who was a faucet for nearly 3/4s of a year I HIGHLY recommend Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads, 60-pack. Target has the best price, skip WalMart they do not. They are really thin but hold a lot!
Stop by my blog for a great giveaway for your little one!
OH I remember that with my second kid. Of course, I wasn't able to share the information in such a fun and funny way! I might be jealous, except, ummm I am not. Tee hee.
Yep I too have BTDT, the joys of growing a baby. You will get use to it, and it's really a blessing (kind of reminds me of the talk my mom had when I got my "monthly visitor" for the first time". I highly recommend washable nursing pads. They work great and you don't have to keep buying the things all the time. But then again I cloth diaper too so it just seemed natural.
*snicker snicker*
The fun is just starting. I recall standing in a hot shower, which causes your milk to release...and I was SPRAYING like a man peeing in a toilet. Quite.A.Sight.
LOL! And the fun begins! Everyone's right, you'll get used to it. The same thing happened to me with all 4 children.
Oh wow. I never had that happen. I wonder if that's why I had such supply issues. Maybe that's a good thing long term. I never even leaked when I was nursing, so I would consider a good supply a good thing. Isn't pregnancy fun with all the wonderful things it does to your body? LOL
BTW, you have an award on my blog today!!
I'm much more cleaver than a 12-yr old!
Really? You're much more "CLEVER" than a 12 year old?
Congrats, Hubby.
Amazing how men revert back to little boys when something like this happens. Can be cute - more likely, annoying. =)
I am now following you and grabbed your badge for my blog.
Happy Tuesday!
When this happened to my with my first I TOTALLY freaked out and called my sister - who DIDN'T HELP at all and said that never happened to her. Lovely. Seriously - why don't people write this stuff in books to warn us???
