no children but married and looking for a pen pal....hmmmm?

I'm so mad. This happened to me twice this week. Is it a positioning
thing? While pumping the milk (with my PIS) milk is getting into the

Jennifer.  I have a 17 month old son, Jaxon.  He's still BF.  Just

years I've been on the two groups I'm sending this to, I've learned to
respect many of you a great deal...and hope to have you as part of the

I just had to share this, my friend has a huge baby, totally off the
percentile graphs.  He was born at 8lbs 2ozs, a perfectly normal weight for
a newborn.  At about 8weeks, he was 15.5 pounds and I was speaking to her
