Have a natural birth? Yes, I wound up with a shot of Nubane in transitition both times so far. I have discovered Ina Gaskin (love her books) and I think I have discovered where I am getting hung up. So I hope to go totally natural this time. (Actually I really hope to have a "oops, the babe came so fast I never left the house" birth)
Breastfeed? Yes have nursed my boys to 22, and 21 months salf weened. Can't imagine anything else
Co-sleep? Combination of co-sleeping and arms reach till around 12 months then gentle transition to sharing room with older brothers.
Cloth diaper? Yes, 'sposies for travel only
EC? Did not know about this until about 6 months ago. We are seriously considering it.
Anything else? I love my slings!! I have been a sling advocate since my nanny days long before we had our own children. I am missing carrying my now 32 month old, 28lbs (but I spot when I carry him for more than 2-3 minutes )
I will continue my status as a SAHM and home schooler.

VaxVery delayed -not at all
CircWhy would I start now?

I plan on having a natural home waterbirth (like the last one) we will be breastfeeding (still bfing my 16 month old) - maybe tandem nursing too, cloth diapering (sposies at night and when traveling), not vaxing and if I can talk DH into it - not circ-ing if we have a boy. We will co-sleep and use our arm's reach co sleeper as long as it is comfortable (transitioned dd to her crib around 10 months when she was too mobile and wanted to crawl all over us and play all night ). We also love babywearing and I plan to splurge on a new wrap to add to my collection once the new babe gets here. Also thinking of trying EC'ing and want to read more on it...

Have a natural birth? home water birth VBAC style
Breastfeed? BFAR with an SNS and donated milk
Co-sleep? still co-sleeping with my 2.5 yo dd so for SURE with this baby
Cloth diaper? from the start. being fairied TONS of newborn and infant dipes! and i have the toddler dipes from DD
EC? thinking about it. not sure yet. it SEEMS better, but i dont know how i would deal with it, and being a bfar mom and all that comes with that, AND having a toddler (who IS potty learned), and going back to work (WAHM childcare) at 3-4 mo PP.

we also plan to babywear ALOT. we LOVE keeping our babies close to us. and no vaxing. NONE. and if its a boy he will remain intact.
