I'm so pleased it worked out this way. Your earlier posts inspired me to fight back about pumping facilities at my work, not quite as successfully as you but we are getting there. </p> <p>Wow!! I'd be happy to write a note. From Australia :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1068719 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:08:52 +0000 Pink Champagne 1068719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so happy for you! I would love to write her a thank you note- she deserves to know how important of an impact she is making!<br /> And go you for sticking to it and getting it done!! You deserve a huge thanks for your efforts too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1068684 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:01:46 +0000 matador84 1068684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See, it was all worth the fight!! What an amazing story, and a truly courageous woman. Not every female in a position of authority would willingly stand up and take a position on something. Truly great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1068607 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:47:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1068607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazing!!!!

A heart felt note is plenty thanks. Maybe you can write an open letter to the school's newspaper. The workplace, in this day and age, should be supportive of people's work life balance.</p> <p>As much as I hope to be supported when I become a mother too, child less employees should be supported and the workplace flexible for the important things in their life too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067947 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:59:04 +0000 LovelyPlum 1067947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I would write her one!! I am a grad student, and a family culture on a university campus is SO important to me. </p> <p>And congrats to you-you did a great thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067942 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:57:20 +0000 deactivated_account 1067942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hooray!

Thank you so much! I just really want her to understand how important this is! I hate all of the stories I have read on hellobee and elsewhere about negative pumping situations or moms having to quit. :( this is a powerful woman and she could influence other people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067689 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:17:04 +0000 avivoca 1067689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I would love to write a thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067681 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:13:58 +0000 cmomma17 1067681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call me crazy, but I'd kind of like this woman to know how far and wide my story was heard (at least on the Internet, hehe). I wonder if any of my hellobee friends would be willing to write her a thank you note along with me?<br /> This whole experience has had such an impact on my life and I really want to be an advocate for working pumping moms. I want to shower my President with thanks from as many moms as possible.<br /> Would anyone be up for this? Nothing huge, just maybe "thanks for a mom of 2 in Ohio" or "thanks from a breastfeeding mom in NYC." I'd be willing to share an address via PM or wall message. Let me know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067288 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:02:29 +0000 lilyann 1067288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an amazing update!

I'm so glad your environment has improved and that you have such an awesome lady in charge! </p> <p>I'd say a card with a small flower or fruit arrangement, or a small plaque thanking her for her dedication to families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067269 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:55:05 +0000 sunny 1067269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue/page/2#post-1067263 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:53:13 +0000 mrsmate 1067263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is possibly the best thing I'll read all week.

At the very least I will be writing a very heartfelt thank you, include some pics of LO, and I'm known for my excellent double chocolate chip cookies so I think I'll whip up a batch of those too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-amazing-updates-continue#post-1067218 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:36:38 +0000 BlueWolverine 1067218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome!
