Ladies,

First of all, a huge thank you to you all who are willing to donate to our babies. It means the world. You know this.

I've posted a few times looking for donations. My name is Melissa and we're looking for milk for Lily, our 9 month old. We're in Jax, Florida. Around the time she was 4.5 months old, I found out I was expecting #3. Wow what a shock but a welcome surprise. I work outside the home full time, so my pumping output diminished quickly. I couldn't take any galactagogues because of pregnancy and the only one I could take interfered with a medication I'm taking to sustain this pregnancy. I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant, expecting our first little boy. We're due in September and my goal is to be able to give Lily my milk at daycare once this baby comes. (She'll be a year old end of August) I then want to donate too to pay it forward. It's the least I can do!

On and off this group, we've rec'd milk from now 10 different donors. HOW THANKFUL WE ARE! Lily hasn't had to have one drop of formula and I can't tell you how giddy that makes her daddy and I. Hannah, now 3, was nursed until she weaned at 2 years and she never had a drop of formula either. We consider ourselves very blessed to have this network of donors available to us.

We have about 3 days left right now. We're expecting a shipment from Canada (she has my cooler box now) this week and hopefully that will get us through next week. After that... I have no idea what we're going to do.

I have a ups and fedex account, a cooler box from uline and will provide reimbursement for dry ice/bags, etc. We'd like to find a donor that can show some sort of blood work - older work up from OB/pregnancy is fine. After all, this is going into my little one's tummy :)

Please let us know if you're willing to donate - locally or shipping. We're getting down to the wire now.

Thank you in advance!
Melissa and Lily!

PS: We're on facebook if you want to see us :)
