I am still nursing Tyler, and the past month or so, we noticed he hasn't been so fond of the breast milk. It all started about the same time we increased his cereal to 3 times a day, and started adding veggies and fruits. We have really had to "work" to get him to take his minimum allowance of fluids a day...
Then, last week, my milk supply plummeted (literally, cut in half) so I started doing some investigating. Monday night at the firehouse, I read that pregnancy can change the way breast milk tastes (due to the change in hormone levels) and can reduce your milk supply (as early as being 2 weeks pregnant!)
So, yesterday morning, the thought of eating cereal for breakfast, made me slightly nauseous, and I just really felt like having a fried egg sandwich! I thought to myself... uh oh. Nate and I talked over breakfast, and agreed we should pick up a test later on while we are out and about. (Just to rule it out)
We got home about 630p and were in a mad rush to get Tyler changed, and fed to be as much 'on schedule' as we could... and I had to pee so bad! So, Nate said, just pee on the stick, and I said, no, I'll just wait til morning. I've been drinking so much water (trying to increase my milk supply) - I'm sure it's way too diluted! Not caring what I just said (lol) he went ahead and opened the box, took out the test and handed it to me. I hurried and 'did my business' and set it down. Immediately, a blue line showed up. (We both noticed, but didn't think anything - just thought, well that is the control line!) He went into Tyler's room to change him, and about 10 seconds later, both blue lines were there! It felt like deja vu!
I said... "uh, babe?!?"
