Hi ladies! I introduced myself a while ago, but then never really posted. I'm Katie, and my little bear is Samuel Oso. He was born on Dec. 4 at a birthing center in CA (we are now back on the East Coast where our families are). It was a great experience, but I honestly have no desire to go through that again! We EBF -- although we have started BLW -- babywear, EC, and CD. We were co-sleeping and co-bedding for a while, but now DS is in his own room and we are doing great!
I have been lurking on here since my first trimester. This board gave my parenting style a name, helped support my decisions when my parents and ILs thought (and still think!) I was crazy, and has given me innumerable resources and ideas. I can't thank you all enough for all the support and advice you unknowingly gave to me.
I look forward to continuing to get to know you all. I added a pic to my siggy because it finally dawned on me that usually, that's how I recognize you! Duh. Anyway, thanks for the support and thanks for reading
