Thanks for the welcome! I'm new to posting, but not necessarily to the board. I've been lurking for a while now, and finally got up the nerve to post. Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm 25, a teacher, and will be a first time mama come late October/early November. I'm planning to stay at home, bf, co-sleep, and use a sling. I'm so glad that I found the mdc board, and love knowing that there are people who I can talk to about parenting the way I feel is best.
