Well I think my milk finally changed to colostrum!
It's been white for a long time, then it was white mixed with clear liquid, and now at 30 weeks it's all clear. I'm so excited, idk why, but it's just a cool reminder that my body is preparing for the birth. I'm going to pump some soon and freeze it so I have an emergency ounce or so on hand for when she is born. Eric seems to not like the taste as much, he still asks to breastfeed just as much but unless he is tired, it's quick, like one minute or less and he is done. But when I put him for nap or night he feeds for ten minutes or more, so it can't taste too bad. Just likely not what he is used to.
I've heard to expect his poo yo be more watery, but since being pregnant so far it's more solid then ever before, weird.
Well I guess this isn't so much a conversation, more of a fun fact, but none of my friends would be interested so you guys get to humor me instead :)

Actual pumps aren't the best for expressing colostrum; it's only present in very small amounts and most of it will be wasted sticking to the flange.
A more efficient way is to learn to hand express it onto a spoon and add it little by little to a small container.
