Surviving My Loss<\/a> and her parenting philosophies. I thought I’d write a little bit about mine.<\/p>\nSleeping \u00e2\u20ac\u201c my thoughts on this have changed over the past year and a bit. Initially I always figured the baby would be in a crib in the baby’s room. I was a little puzzled at Den’s insistence that we have the baby in our room. But after thinking about it for so long I’ve come to agree with him. I really doubt we’ll have the baby sleep in our bed due to the dogs (and the fact that my husband is a heavy sleeper and likes to spread out). He wants a co-sleeper. I just want the baby close by.<\/p>\n
Feeding \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Breastfeeding, absolutely, unless something really prevents that. I even feel so strongly that I’d go off my meds if it turns out the celexa will affect the baby through my breastmilk, but we’ll see how that goes.<\/p>\n
Diapers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I’ve always just assumed I’d do disposable diapers, but recently the idea of doing cloth diapers and being eco-concious really appeals to me. However, we’d have to get a diaper service because there’s no way I’m washing diapers on top of everything else I can’t keep up with. (Den feels fine with either decision.)<\/p>\n
Circumcision – I’ve mentioned this one before – I feel VERY strongly against it. However my husband is the opposite. I am really really not looking forward to the explosive arguments that will ensue.<\/p>\n
Vaccines \u00e2\u20ac\u201c My thoughts are very similar to how I feel about vaccines with my pets: Some vaccines are very good things. Some seem to have more side-effects than they have benefits. So I really doubt I’ll be following the typical schedule, and I won’t be giving 6 vaccines at once to my young child. Probably a delayed vacc schedule with some vaccines not given.<\/p>\n
Baby wearing \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Absolutely! Den and I both look forward to that. :D<\/p>\n
SAH v. WHO \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Stay at home. I’ve always wanted to be home with my kids. I may or may not continue working part-time at the cat shelter after the baby’s born… I have a feeling I may need some breaks! And since it’s flexible I can arrange to go in on weekends when Den’s home or such.<\/p>\n
TV – I have no big objections to it. I tend to zone out to TV way too often myself. I think Baby Einstein stuff looks really good for babies! However, no Barney will be allowed in my house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I do feel a little lighter today. Even though AF is right around the corner (still not here yet, but still spotting) I am not upset about it. I am looking forward – and knowing that for the next several months we don’t have to worry about any of it. It’s kind of a relief.
