heartache

today i had to do a stock-take exercise on the frozen breast milk we have accumulated in our freezer over the last 4 months. i had to throw out about 7 packets (that's over 1 litre!), even though they hadn't really expired, cos we figured we'd have too much anyway, and it made more sense to give him the 'fresher' more recent ones right? well, i must say seeing those packets of milk go down the chute really is quite a heartaching experience! imagine all those hrs spent expressing the milk and there they go... :P well i guess on a positive note, it means ethan's got plenty of milk to last him till he's 6 mths old n ready for solids :)

so today, we have over 50 packets of milk in the freezer. all waiting to be used (else down the chute they go again...)
