>My name is Tracy Throckmorton and I have been lurking around Lactnet for a
>few weeks now.  It is incredibly absorbing, informative and the answer to my
>dreams of a LC support group.  At this time I work with a group of 5 peds
>(only when problems arise), teach parenting and breastfeeding classes at a
>hospital and community college.  My background is Psych BA, then Diploma
>RN,then 9 years NICU then IBCLC.  I use every bit of my education and
>experience with each nursing couple and that's what makes this my perfect
>job.  Having several part time jobs is supposed to allow that magic
>flexibility to give me lots of time with my family which consists of 3
>children, Haley 11, Noah 9 and Maura 4, my husband John and My grandmother Ila.
>Two years ago while studying for the IBCLC exam, I made myself a promise to
>go to one conference a year as an investment in myself and my new career.  I
>am learning how difficult those kind of resolutions can be to keep.  For
>various reasons it has been almost impossible for me to justify my time away
>from those many obligations.  But I am going to be at ILCA next week and
>I'll wear my Tshirt and smile for all to see.  Now I won't be going as a
>silent lurker.  See you all then.   tracy throckmorton RN IBCLC
