Introducing...

[parsley]

Hi!  It seemed like a good idea to introduce myself a bit here even though it looks like these threads aren't read too often. 

I just joined but I've been visiting the site regularly (and lurking) a bit for over a year.  I loved Mothering magazine and when it became online only I started coming here more often. 

I have a 3 yo daughter and we are toward the end of our first cycle of TTC #2.  I am really looking forward to joining a DD club soon.  I'm especially looking for some support during my second pregnancy as my first was over-medicalized and incredibly stressful.  I now know that I need to be very proactive in making sure that my pregnancy is mine!  I'm also planning to be a VBAC.

What else to share?  I'm a vegetarian and am raising my dd vegetarian (her choice though).  We still co-sleep and breastfeed.  We still babywear-- just bought a bobo a few months ago and love it for my lanky kid!  And, I'm looking forward to connecting with some like-minded mamas. 

Thanks for reading!

Hi, welcome to Mothering!  A few of us read the posts, but I have to admit that it's hard for me to later connect an introduction to someone posting in a forum.  But if you have an introductory post, at least they are here for reference.

Nice to meet you Parsley, I just joined myself. I have 5 children, 4 boys, 1 girl - love the mag, so decided to sign up here like you.  Perhaps we'll bump into each other on some other threads.

Welcome!  You've probably already found it, but if not, check out the VBAC forum under Birth & Beyond.  I'm not pg yet, but also planning for a VBAC someday.  The ladies there are wonderful.  See you around!

I hadn't found the VBAC forum yet. Thanks a lot, justKate!

Hello my name is Krystal Lange. I have been on here in the past but for some reason when I tried to log in today it would not let me so I had to make a new account. I have two boys and a wonderful husband. I clothdiaperd my sons. Breast fed them for as long as I could. I delayed vaccinations and know I dont vax at all. Unfortunatly I did circ before I knew better and for that I feel horrible. I am a vegan and the only one in the family and with that comes its own problems. I will probably be asking many questions about veganism since I just became one in october but have been having problems with it and have fallen off the wagon so to speak here and there but I am vegan and staying that way.... May 21st will be my birthday and my no excuse no falling off the wagon day... Thanks for letting me join this wonderful website again I love it here!
