Hello from another Seattle mom

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Hi there. I have a beautiful, energetic 17 mo daughter (homebirth) and 11 yo step-daughter (she was a homebirth, too). I love the solidarity I find in this community. I am interested in extended breastfeeding/pumping, family bed, finding resources for DH/SAHD, child-led weaning, potty training, how to convince DH to have another...and I have already found that there are lots of resources for those topics here.

I am an engineer and work full-time outside of the home for a small, family friendly consulting firm that does energy and environment research, but I got to stay home with my daughter for her 1st year.

My motto that I quickly learned from my daughter is "Expectations lead to frustrations." I repeat this to myself anytime I get frustrated or impatient, and it adjusts my perspective and attitude.
