Okay, my review of the last episode of 'The Bachelorette' is coming soon, although I will admit I don't have a lot to say...I think it went as we all expected. I give Ali major credit for letting Chris go as gently and with as much respect as she did, and major props to him for his class act during 'After the Final Rose.' And you know what? I'm rooting for Ali and Roberto. I really am. I hope they make it. This show has turned me from a cynic to a romantic and I have my fingers crossed for them. I know, it's crazy - just months after the flaming pile of doggie doo-doo that was Jake and Vienna, I'm believing that love can happen on this show.
I must be getting soft in my old age.
But not too soft. In a total out-of-character moment for me yesterday, I contacted a local blogger who writes about breastfeeding. I had been sent the link by the LC that saw Scotty during the first week of his life. (Inexplicably, I am still on the email list serve.) Reading over the blog just brought back all those bad feelings that I had during Scotty's first few weeks of life, and I sent the blogger an email saying (essentially), "Don't knock formula; it saved my kid's life."
Well, she wrote back to me and asked if I would share my story on her site. And I am. I'm going to try to have it finished by this weekend, and I'll be sure to post the link here. If there is one thing I am passionate about (aside from appropriate treatment by in-laws), it's jaundice. I want every person in the world to know the dangers of jaundice, if it goes untreated, and if I could prevent anyone else from having to go through what we went through, I will. The written word is a powerful tool, so I'm using it. And hopefully, it will make a difference.
