Arden & I made the local ABC news tonight! Some people know, but some may not know that I've been donating some of my breast milk ever since Arden was about 3 months old. Wake Med here in Raleigh has one of the 9 milk banks in the U.S. and the only one on the East Coast. When Arden was so sick when she was first born that she was put in the NICU, I was unable to breast feed right away. She was lucky enough to be able to be given donor milk instead of formula. Therefore, I always wanted to donate back to the bank. And since I've always had the supply to do so it was a no brainer. The bank called me because they were having the news channel come to do some publicity to raise their donor numbers so they asked us to come in for interview. Arden was super well behaved until the actual interview when she started to squirm in my lap quite a bit. Need less to say, the editing of the piece didn't have much footage of us, but there was some. I couldn't find the actual video segment online but here is the article from the story, which is the segment's script verbatim. Please send all autograph requests through our agent ;-)

That is really cool! I admire all of the causes that you partake in! Arden is beautiful and it is fun to watch an old friends baby grow up, even on a computer:)
So glad I was able to catch it on TV. Why would they not feature more of a "fussy" baby? This is real life people!!
