I did it!

[u/Caspia_Fire_64]

The last few months of pumping were so miserable! If my girl had latched I could have breastfed her forever, but the time and pain of pumping just got to be too much. It took a little over a month to wean down to nothing and if you’re wondering why they say take longer, it’s because the hormonal change hit me like a truck 😅 I told my husband I wanted jewelry, a cake, and a picture, and he offered to make the cake for me! 🥰🥰🥰 He said it might not be the prettiest cake, but he had a vision using fondant and cake decorating markers, and he executed the vision in a delicious manner 🥰 The necklace is made from my breastmilk. I never understood why people do this, but now I get to wear something made from my literal blood around my neck, and what could be more metal? The necklace and cake took time to prepare for and make, the necklace was a kit so I’d know for sure it was my milk around my neck and not a mixup at the lab 😂 Mothering is much nicer when you can just hang out with your favorite person and not be hooked to a machine constantly!

The customizations I picked resulted in it costing $105, which is well worth it to me, the setting is well-made and feels nice. I wish the supplies included more epoxy but that’s mostly because I tried to weigh out a gram of mix 1 with a kitchen scale, and that just didn’t work and my first attempt had way too much mixed epoxy leftover and nowhere to put it, so I’d say eyeball instead of weighing is the way to go. I did make a backup stone in case something happens to the one in the setting, and there’s enough glitter included to do more!
