The question is, did you aim for Liam's mouth? LOL I distinctly remember squirting Jason in the eye once -poor kid! Good thing its a bodily fluid and wasn't painful!

I too have a much more productive boob. I think its the left. Maybe it has to do with use of your right arm (if we are all right hand dominent) and pectoral muscle limiting production, storage etc?

And yes the body is amazing isn't it. I have such a different perspective on my body since having the kids. I'm much more respectful of it in the sense that it has such purpose and all the "scars" of motherhood -stretchmarks, sagging breasts, varicose veins, a few extra pounds, flabby tummy- are simply reminders of that purpose not anything to be ashamed of.

Just wait until you are at the store and YOUR baby is fast asleep, and another baby starts to cry, and the MILK ACTION starts. Yeah that happened to me I was like GREAT!! Do I wake the baby up to eat or suffer.

I always dreaded getting called down to the maternity unit for psych assessments when I was breastfeeding. The letdowns occured with every hungry baby scream! One time I got stuck down there so long I just used one of their portable breastpumps and pumped down there in the nurses station while doing my paperwork and fielding calls for my client!!! The nurses got quite a kick out of that one!

Funny how the left breast does sooo much better then the right one.

Your baby is beautiful! I have not seen a picture yet. Congrats!
