Donating blood

I'm pretty sure you can donate blood after 8 weeks postpartum, but have any of you yet if you are a donor? I will be 8 weeks next week and the Red Cross will be in my home town later that week. I'm also wondering if it will effect my milk supply as my body will have to work to produce milk and rebuild blood supply. I will have to drink tons of water. If I wait until I'm done nursing that will be months hopefully and donating is important to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated :)
