Journaling about my kids (plural- wow!) for me; updates on our life for our wide circle of loved ones is for, well, our loved ones; sharing about life with a spunky toddler and the emotional highs and lows of having a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome is for anyone who might be on a similar journey.

Women Infants and Children

This post is to thank the WIC PROGRAM for all the work they do to provide nutrition and breastfeeding education to families all over the country.  I worked as a breastfeeding peer counselor for two years and stopped when I had Liam.  Shortly after, funding was cut and all counselor jobs with it.
If I had the energy I would describe here in detail all the research about the benefits of breastfeeding, peer support, and talk about the state of the economy, and priorities and funding and... etc etc.  But I can't get to that right now. And Liam's starting to fuss in the background.  And I'd be preaching to the choir now wouldn't I?
Suffice it to say: Thank you WIC program, heres to you!
