First shipment of BM

It's official... I'm a breastmilk donor. I passed the initial screening, have blood, filled out all the paper work and shipped off my first cooler of milk. They (Bronson's Milk Bank in Kalamazoo) send you an overnight shipping label, a styrofoam cooler, and a box. You fill it up... Take it to the UPS store by 5:45 pm for over night delivery by 10:30 and that's all. My milk will be mostly used in the NICU, not only in Michigan but wherever needed.  My first box weighed 27 pounds - figuring I subtract out the box and cooler- I think my first shipment was probably like 23 pounds of milk.



I'm very happy to be able to share this gift with other babies. And by the looks of my healthy baby girl - it's vitamin D milk so it should help them get nice and big!
