Do you women all know each other from other areas of MDC? I've been around here reading for a while but don't post much so I don't feel like I know anyone except for by your names in the due date list. I'd love to know more about you.
Me? I'm 34, almost 35. My DH is 40 and our son is almost 12. My husband was a single dad when we met and DS was only 4 years old. We live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I guess we're a little bit crunchy. We grow some of our own food in our garden and we try to avoid the use of chemicals we don't need. We built a new home about 2 years ago and we're still getting things set up the way we want it. We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 goats, 7 ducks and a bunch of chickens. We've been waiting for this baby for over 5 years.

:. We are semi crunchy, we grow lots of our own veggies, cloth diapered for about 8 months (I had to work and DH HATED CD'ing) we made all our own baby food, and try to avoid/delay vac's as necessary. We also cosleep for the first year (almost 
) and Breast feed or bottle feed breast milk until age 1, and of course introduce homemade foods when their ready. Age and knowledge has made the urge to become more earth friendly more desirable as well. We don't know if this will be our last baby or not, we struggled with infertility after KAB passed away (for 21 months) and figured it would take a miracle to get pregnant again after BMB, but lo and behold here I am. when Bodie was born (sorry BMB) my uterus almost ruptured and we almost didn't make it, so I had an emergency C/S. The doctor could see the tears from the outside of my uterus and was amazed, in her 12 years of practicing medicine she had never seen a uterus PRE rupture, so this time around, for safety of both the baby and me, I have to have a C/S around 36 weeks (as long as his lungs are mature) to prevent over stretching. We were told NOT to have more children, and then they changed their minds as long as we agreed to deliver early. That's it in a nut shell. I'm hoping to be a SAHM in the next year or so when DH graduates with his Engineering degree.
This will be our first human kiddo, but we have two feline fur babies (Sanibel and Rambo) that have been mama's favorites since day 1. I'm pretty crunchy- We eat about 95% organic, hope to have a homebirth, stay vegan through my pregnancy, bf/ feed EBM, delay solids, cloth diaper, and selectively vax. DH was completely new to the crunchies when he married me 
so right now we're working on reading books and studies together to get him more comfortable with the idea of a different vax routine and a homebirth.
