I caught us on the noon news on both Channel 4 (CBS) and NECN.

Ch 4's story w/video here:

I'm the Joan who is quoted both in the text version and the clip.

NECN video here:

Nancy (aka aileen) and Alison (alleybcat) are shown talking here, and I'm shown nursing Ruthie.

Great time today mamas!! Keep an eye on those TVs tonight!

I also heard that we were on the 10:00 news on the CW (ch 56), but I missed it. I meant to watch it, but

I actually went to bed at 8:30, I was feeling so

: with this cold I'm fighting. Did anyone catch the 10:00 news??

Alley, I would love a copy of that DVD! There's also a great item on the ch 7 website, which includes a great sound-bite from me and some really nice footage of the babies -- I didn't see this on the TV but maybe I just missed it?

(click the "Watch the video" link above the headline)
Someone on the lactivist email group asked about calling the stations to get a tape/DVD of the clip -- might be worth doing if we want to preserve this footage for posterity. I know I'd love to be able to show it to DD when she's older!

Great meeting you all yesterday!

Danielle, did you arrive late? I had to leave early and I noticed that on the channel 5 news they showed a couple of moms I didn't recognize. Maybe one was you? If there were more moms who arrived after I left, then our "official" headcount on the yahoogroup database is wrong!

Someone help me verify our headcount. Here's what I have from the sign-in sheet:

Me + Ruthie
Ali (rupie_zum) + Moira
Jess (jessjgh1) + ?
Nancy (aileen) + ?
Alison (alleybcat) + Charlie
Lissa (not on MDC) + Marisol
Amanda (not on MDC) + twins

That's the 7 moms, 8 babies that we listed on the database. If there were others who arrived later, let me know so I can correct our numbers!!

BTW -- Alley and Charlie and Ruthie and I are seen in the video on this report from a Florida tv station:
