A bit late...
My name is Samantha, and you'll have to forgive my tardiness. I originally enrolled with the February 2010, but I gave my midwife the wrong date and ended up with a documented due date in January. At my prenatal appointment today, I measured 34 weeks, baby is head down and dropped - or as I like to call it, locked and loaded - I'm 50 percent effaced and dilated to 3 centimeters. I'm calling this a December baby, so I'd like to get to know THIS birth club a little better.
I teach 6th grade at a rural school, every subject but math and social studies, and I have the inclusion class for 14 hours per week. It's like being a special education teacher for half of the week. I'm married to a wonderful SAHD, James. We've been married for 3 and a half years now, and we currently have one son, Collin, born December 2007 at 36 weeks - there's a pattern here somewhere I'm sure. DS is unvaxed, noncirced, and we co-slept/sleep - he prefers his own bed, which is next to ours, some nights - he was breastfed until he self-weaned at 16 months - about the time of conception for baby numero dos. We are currently saving up to buy another truckload of BumGenius diapers. We also mainly eat organic foods, try to buy locally, and limit meat consumption. I am hoping to foster rescue animals this summer, since DH and I disagree on when the best time to get our kids a family dog. I say no time like the present, he says over his dead body, so it's just another issue to compromise on.
