[Mama]

<p>It's 9:15 and as I type, moms across the country are gathering at airports for a nurse in. As I've been <a href=" http://mamaknowsbreast.com/2006/11/nationwide_nurse_in_on_tuesday.php# trackbacks">reporting </a>here, they were motivated to stage this grass roots nurse in by the story of Emily Gillette, the mom who was kicked off a Freedom Airlines flight (a commuter flight for Delta) for breastfeeding. The nurse in kicks off officially at 10 am, local time.</p>

<p>To monitor the progress of the nurse in plans, I subscribed to the <a href=" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lactivism/">Yahoo chat group </a>moms were using to coordinate their efforts. This morning I woke to find 182 messages in my in-box-- progress reports about t-shirts, press releases, and travel plans. From the site I found a list of least <a href=" http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/YAZjRW8Jt-0S9eaOV_AokNXiHzaADHBmacStp7vPUX-_Mxrx0s5Okox--tRh2GHnFvmQ16gIcZWq8Y9iiAzuIl7wT4gM XF4BjC840j2o/OFFICIAL%20NURSE-IN%20SITES">33 airports </a>where you can expect moms and their babes to be today.</p>

<p>As the day progresses, I'll be writing periodic updates on the events. Usually each time I write a new entry I send out an email notification of the entry. To save you from In Box clutter, I won't do that today. But do check back every few hours or so to see what's new on my site.</p>

<p>Right now I have to take a shower. Good thing it isn't de rigueur yet to use video to communicate over the internet. </p>
