chris is always trying to come up with an original invention. most of the time they are really great ideas and we've found that most are already patented. his most recent money-making idea was to create a website market where those interested can buy and sell breast milk. well, many websites already exist for that. isn't that funny? i guess someone would be interested in buying breast milk if you weren't able to produce on your own or were adopting and didn't want to use formula. we also found an additional use that some adults drink it for homeopathic purposes. gross. but that's not to say i haven't jokingly threatened before to disguise some in a smoothie for chris to drink. i know. if only you were a fly on the wall in our house. we try to act our age and not let people see how truly weird we are...rather, how weird i am!
when reading up on the milk bank sites, we discovered that the buyers will pay for the shipping costs and that you can make up to $32,000/year by pumping only about 10 oz./day. fo shizzle. you may think i am the craziest person ever for this, but i am actually considering it. either i might breast feed vera until she's 6 months old, then pump and sell for another 6 months, buying us a car and helping us save the money we were planning on using for it. how awesome is that? or i might breast feed vera closer to a year and continue pumping after that to sell. but that's less appealing since i am not a fan of breast feeding anyway.
regardless, i think it's flippin awesome that i could make that much money by devoting only 30 minutes a day to pumping.
but i would have to file them on our income taxes. what would you put for occupation though? human cow? mammary factory? milk donor? wet nurse, i guess...but that's not nearly as funny.

Income tax is never funny, but human cow business for sure is. I´m planning to become a big human milk farmer in a third world country now, btw.
Oh, yes, I considered this as well!! But, I hated pumping even MORE than nursing!! I didn't know about the $32k though!! Nice. ;)
Lactator. Sounds MUCH more, um, professional?
That's an insane amount of money! But it is a great "cause" if you will!
