Great reading all that is going on. I went to my second LLL meeting because I loved meeting other Moms who were BFing and weren’t going to be squeemish seeing me nurse as we chatted.

Question of the Day!
Why did you go to your second La Leche League Meeting?
Please comment with your reason!
Ready, Set, Go!

I personally had my first geek-out moment when I saw Marian Tompson from afar.

WeLLLcome to the BLLLog
Excitement is mounting, registration booths are being set up, special guests are being flown in from across the nation, and I’m pulling out my “work clothes” from the back of the closet.
