Well,
Since many of you wrote to me giving me the (much needed) encouragement to
hang in there during my OB appt (such appts are VERY difficult for me) I
thought I would tell you how it went.
The Dr was very nice, very respectful of me and my needs.  SO that was
great.  She was impressed with the ffact that I am a CLE and thought it was
great that I had BF Ben 'till 38 mo and that PJ is still BF at 23 mo.  So it
was a good (as good as that sort can be) visit, even tho it will still take
me several days to get "back to myself".

Now the frustrating part:
This Dr and her partner have a monthly contest for expecting parents.  They
fill out a ticket and put it in a can and hope to win a great big basket
full of goodies.  Guess what kind of goodies???  Guess who it is sponsered
by???  Similac.  The can they use for  the tickets is an empty Similac can.
:(   They didn't have any other ABM promotional stuff up on the walls
anywhere, so at least it was being shoved into the face at every turn.
However, since this Dr is good (and has a good reputation) I guess I need to
now get started on some conversions.  :)
Does any company (involved in BF) do any promo stuff like the ABM companies?
If so, who?  What is the best way to start out a conversion strategy?

Looking forward to your suggestions...like I don't already have enough to do
this year!
