Ellasmum said it perfectly!

Right back at you again! Congratulations!

[trumansmom]

Wow!!

I've said it before, and it's really true. There is no way I'd still be nursing Eleanor if I hadn't seen your example. Thanks for all the info and advice over the years!

Thank YOU, Rachel for all the great info and advice that you have provided to the community! :) If it hadn't been for the links that you gave me, I would have followed my OB's initial advice and stopped nursing when I became pregnant.

Congrats and thank you for reaching out to me when I was having such a rough time and posted about it here... I will never forget that!

It's funny, but I have always felt a kinship with you b/c you have fabulous taste in names... ;)

Here is to 7,000 more!

Wow, that's awesome. I remember you way back when I was just a lurker and was still pregnant in 2003. I love reading your replies and I think we are a lot alike :).

Happy 7K, Rachel!

[daisymommy]

Thank you so much for all of your advice and encouragement here Rachel. You are honestly one of the reasons I stuck up for my decision to have the natural birth I wanted and am breastfeeding Hannah successfully. Thank-you!

[MommyAllison]

Congrats on 7000! Thank you so much for all of the info and advice you give to these boards! The quote in your siggie has become my explanation for many of our parenting decisions - so thank you for that as well!

Wow! I'm another one who has really benefited from your knowledge and experiences that you so graciously share. Who would've thought that someone who wasn't sure about wanting to breastfeed in the first place would still be at it 2 1/2 years later. Thanks for all you bring to this board!

[candybomiller]

Wow, 7000! You're definitely a major presence on the boards! :)

Here's to another couple thousand.

Congratulations, Rachel. That's a heck of a lot of posts! I've been around about as long and am not even half-way there. You are a prolific BBBer as well as a loving, thoughtful mommy and poster.
