Yes, it's true! Today I became an official La Leche League leader! This has followed a year-long process of studies. I have wanted to become a leader since John was only a few months old, but the first requirement for leadership is to have nursed a baby for nine months. By the time John was about nine months old, Chris had changed employers and we knew we'd be moving to another state soon. It's very difficult to begin leadership accreditation in one state and switch midway, so I waited until we knew where we were moving. Then when we arrived in Charlotte I had to find a new LLL chapter I liked, then let those leaders get to know me before I could begin the accreditation. Last November 3 I officially filed to begin the process and nine days later gave birth to Mary, thus another half year of delay. But for the last six months I have worked very hard through various reading, writing, and practical exercises and now I am certified!
