A Bloggy Thank You

Did you all know you've helped the Striderling get human milk in several ways?

1) Some of you have been milk donors, getting your own milk to us.... often at the perfect time, when we had just run out of our previous stash. I know how tedious and unexciting pumping can be and I am so thankful for the generous hearts that are willing to do it for my son.

2) You have all been consistently encouraging.... especially when I was pumping myself for Striderling (I stopped at about five months because of pregnancy, increased therapy sessions, and less free time on my hands). You helped me remember why it was worth it, gave tips, and helped me keep going. So thankful!

3) And finally, you may not have realized this, but many of your Amazon purchases made through the blog have helped with this too. Just a few days ago I purchased milk storage bags to reimburse a donor for the milk she gave us (she is continuing to pump, so she will need milk storage bags for the future). I paid for the bags entirely with money earned through Amazon blog sales. Every time you click to Amazon through the blog for any purchase whatsoever (for a gift, to look up and buy school books for the coming year, for diapers.... anything!), a tiny bit goes back to us. If that's too much trouble and you're someone who always just shoots over to Amazon, our feelings aren't hurt. ;) Just know that if you do go through the blog, it's hugely appreciated, and helps stretch our household budget!
