Ethan and I are chilling today. My training class had to be split up for an exercise, so I had the morning off. First thing he did was try to do a nose-dive off of the bed, but thankfully I managed to grab his ankle as he pitched forward. Even though disaster was averted, it scared the crap out of me. Since I don't foresee kicking him out of the bed right now, I'd probably better look into getting a rail that I can attach to the side. I'll check that out at Babies R us tonight.
I finally had time this morning to call the Mother's Milk Bank of North Texas to find out about donation. After a quick screening they agreed to send me the paperwork for blood tests and I'll be all set to drop my milk off. I have a huge amount of frozen milk right now...they asked for a commitment to donate at least 100 ounces. I could probably double that out of the freezer stash and keep going from there. :) I definitely plan to keep plenty around in case I need it for any reason, but this will ensure that none of it goes to waste. The milk is pasteurized and then sold through prescription for premature and other needy babies. Honestly, I don't like the idea of the milk being sold after it's processed, but I don't have a way to get it into needy hands on my own. What's most important is that it will still be going to babies who would otherwise be getting formula, instead of sitting in my freezer. That gives me a very good feeling.

Oh! I've always wondered if you could do that! I wish I had been able to do that!
