My cousin had her baby boy yesterday. She has two older girls. I have no idea if she's going to circ him or not 
She and I are pretty close, her three kiddos are very close in age to my three kiddos (within months), and we've both come a long way in our parenting styles since our first babies (both of us had medicated first births before discovering natural birthing, both of us had issues breastfeeding and through the issues have become lactivists, both of us had mainstream views on vaxing until we discovered issues...) We don't live in the same state, so all our talking is via Facebook and email.
She is a nurse, although she is going against mainstream medicine in things like birth interventions, some vaccines, breastfeeding past a year, etc.
When she found out this baby was a boy, I sent her a message saying "I'm sure by now you know that I'm very adamant about leaving boys intact and that I feel it's very wrong on many levels to circumcize. If you want any links to research I've done on the topic, please ask me! If you have any questions, please ask me!" She answered "Thanks, it's a decision that hubby and I will have to make together."
What does that mean???
And then, I couldn't help myself, a few weeks ago I posted a few intact-friendly but not pushy links on my Facebook page and listed a few "myths" about the intact penis (cleanliness, disease, function, etc) Some of my friends commented on the link, she did not.
So baby was born yesterday, and I don't know what her decision is. Since she never said anything to me one way or the other, I am afraid that they decided to circ
At this point I don't even want to know!
I tried.
