A note of appreciation

[A&G&K&H]

I'd just like to say how much I've appreciated the information, advice and
support from everyone here on so many issues - Ericka, Elfanie, Daye, Larry,
Brigitte, Ilse, Jo, arachne, Jenrose, Chookie, Leslie, New York Jen ... and
even Todd ... and I've probably missed heaps more.

I'm not leaving the group or anything, but after feeling under-appreciated
myself lately, I am making a conscious effort to thank others who have
supported and guided me through pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and
general "kid wrangling".

I've learnt so much from all of you and I continue to learn more every day.

....sooo
*Thanks* :)

Amanda,

I read a lot of posts that I never comment on (I can hear some people saying
"Yay!" - LOL!)

I too am appreciative of the information sharing.

Thanks for mentioning even Todd. : )

Piggybacking, but I somehow missed the original...

Thank you for including me in your list! I am glad that I am able to
help in at least some small way.

Hi Amanda,

I'm probably one of those guilty of not saying enough thankyou's for
the wonderful advice & support I've been given throughout this
pregnancy from everyone in this group.

I don't know how much longer I'll be here before I start using
parenting/breastfeeding groups as I'm now 2 day's past my due date
with no signs of any change.

Thanks to Amanda & everyone in m.k.p. for all your support.

#1 - 2 days over due

Awww, you're so sweet to say so. It's reward enough to see
people inform themselves and take control of their situations to get
the births they want.

Best wishes,
Ericka

Amanda, this is a great idea! I, too, have really appreciated
everyone's advice and support here. I think the welcoming attitude to
newcomers, the huge wealth of collective knowledge, and the great
respect everyone shows each other makes this group incredibly special!

Thanks from me too, to all!

Hi Amanda
I am mainly a lurker but in the spirit of appreciation, I would like to
say that some advice you gave me led to me seeking some medical
treatment that significantly improved my quality of life. Before you
replied to my post, I didn't know the pain I was in was abnormal. I
definitely appreciated the help so thanks.

Hi Amanda (I still think of your as A&G&K&H :-)

Thanks so much for incluing me in you list of helpful people. I
try, but sometimes wonder if I really am, lol. I certainly have
a great deal of respect for the other people in your list and
feel honored to be among them.

Thank *you*, Amanda, for mentioning me. I think it's wonderful that
all of us here can help each other by sharing our experience and
knowledge.

Daye, by sharing your PND story I've learnt so much and I'm so sure you've
helped many others.

I would have to second this! I have been going to write a similar thank
you, but yours is so good Amanda, that I thought I'd piggy back. The
information I have received here over 2 pregnancies (one lurking, this time
participating) has been just the best - it seems so much better when it is
from people who have experienced things, rather than getting it from books.

My pleasure Amanda. And don't you forget that you were right there for me
during my hardest time as well. So to counter your feelings: you did a
fantastic job back then, and I am very glad to know that you're always
just one e-mail away!

Thank you so much! It means a lot to me to hear that. I am doing my
small part. I hope that no woman on this group goes through what I
did with my PND (PPD for those in the US), but if they do, I want them
to know that they are not alone and there is hope.

Some new things have happened recently with my treatment. I will be
posting an update soon.
