since our babies were young, only a few weeks old each, V has pumped her over supply of breastmilk and donated it to Niamh.
V is an amazing woman, and mother. she has three kids, and manages to nurse her son, and find time and energy to pump milk for Niamh.
i got really lucky in finding V. her son was born 9 days before Niamh was. and she had/has a ginormous over supply. so much that she can feed her adorably chunkalicious son, AND pump enough milk for Niamh, and at times two other babies who suppliment.
we have never had to really stress about where our milk suppliment is coming from, are we going to have enough, and is the milk a good age match for our baby, or do we need to try and limit the milk because we might run out...
alot of milk recipients go through those worries on a daily basis.
thanks to V and her amazing gift of milk, we have never had those worries.
over the past 11 months i have found myself adding V to the short roster of people i call friends. she is just so amazingly gernerous, and kind, and giving.
we are sad to say goodbye to V and her family.
they are moving to CA tomorrow.
i am going to miss V, and her kids, and her husband.
they are a really wonderful family.
i am really happy for them and the opportunity they have been given.
but i am sad to see them go.
so now its time to find a new donor, or two. cause not many women can pump as much as Niamh suppliments with in one day.
without the love and kindness from women like V, us low supply moms and milk recipients would really feel pretty down. knowing there are women out there sacrificing their time and energy and give the amazing gift of their milk to moms and babies that need it, really makes me feel a bit better about the world we live in.
