Yes, you can restart your milk supply. It will take a bit of work and dedication, but it can be done. You will have to get yourself a quality breast pump and commit to using it multiple times a day. It will take a few weeks of pumping to remind your breasts that they should be producing milk. Once your milk is restarted, you can now provide nutrition for your baby. If your child is patient enough, it can help provide the needed nipple stimulation. Instead of giving your baby a bottle when it is hungry, allow it to suckle on your breasts until it becomes too fussy. Not only will this give your breasts the encouragement to lactate, this will also reestablish the bonding breast feeding gives your baby and you.
I would also question why you only had a little breast milk when you were first breast feeding. If you are in good health and are eating a good diet, there should be no problem in producing enough milk for your baby. My guess is that you and your baby were making some small mistakes that could easily be corrected with a little direction from a lactation consultant. Go to your doctor or a local hospital to get a recommendation for a qualified lactation consultant. She is the best person to help you restart your breast milk supply and properly feed and care for your baby.
Most of all, congratulations on taking the right steps to care for the little life in your arms! Your child will thank you the rest of its life for doing the very BrEaST.

I would seriously start using something herbal to increase breastmilk production. Breastea works great.

Should you save your breastmilk if it comes early in your pregnancy?
I can't think why. Any milk stored at this time will likely go bad before it can be used anyway.

Do you still get a menstrual cycle when breastfeeding?
It depends if a woman has begun ovulating yet or not. Breastfeeding most likely suppresses ovulation as long as a woman is breastfeeding pretty consistently around the clock, although some women's menstrual cycle may return even while breastfeeding anyway. Stress and separation from the child for prolonged periods of time (or even just a few hours in the day), especially at night, tend to cause ovulation. Breastfeeding's effect on the body by suppressing ovulation is nature's way of telling the mother that her body is occupied raising a child (or children) and is not physically ready to raise more. If the woman does not become pregnant upon ovulation while breastfeeding then a menstrual cycle will return. A woman can still breastfeed while menstruating although it might change the taste of the milk for the child.

Manny stopped Cotto in the 12th and final round, but would have won anyway, on points if it had went the distance.
A snake with a letter z for the beginning of the name?
I don't think there is a snake beginning with Z... well, not a type of snake, anyway. Some pet snakes may be called "Zebedee", or what have you.

Why am i thirsty while breastfeeding?
Your thirst may increase while breastfeeding due to the fact that your body requires the use of more fluid to help create breast milk. Being thirsty while breastfeeding is completely normal. Try to drink 8-10 cups of water a day; this should not hard as you have increased thirst anyway.
