Hi everyone!  Have been sooooo busy and just now getting time to catch up on
posts.

Thanks so much to all of those who offered suggestions and support for my
situation with my sister-in-law.  I have really put them to good use over the
past two weeks!  Just to update you, my SIL called one Mon. eve. and was SO
excited because she had gotten the baby to latch on.  By the next day she had
mastitis and told me she was just not going to breastfeed anymore.  My tongue
is still healing from the huge bite mark.  I'm trying so hard to be
supportive, even when she totes her little E****mil bag (complete with formula
bottles) to family gatherings!  Especially distressing to see the little one
rooting for a breast and getting a rubber nipple.  I just keep remembering all
of your collective words of wisdom, and smile sweetly when I want to gag.

Anyway, it's nice to know I have a place to vent my frustrations - and to know
I'm not alone!!!
