Vaccines to do or not , disposable or cloth diapers, breast feeding vs. formula, a home birth or hospital, the blood in the cord.. to, when to cut the cord, eating all natural foods NO PRESERVATIVES (except salt) vs. eating whatever you want, Parenting books, putting child on a schedule or letting the child choose its schedule, SO many questions so many options. So many things to research.. What is best for my child?
Just because our culture is big on doing things doesn't mean that its right or the best option.. Here in America we tend to go for the pain free.. fix the problem now.. convience... BUT doing things the way our culture tells us too is it being wise with our resources, money and the future of our children? I want the best for this child.. and I want to be wise with the money God has blessed us with and most importantly I want to KNOW! I don't want to be left in the dark..
So I do thank God for everyday he has given me.. its a good thing babies don't grow in 9 days! I would not know what to do!.. 9 months of preparing!
I have been doing lots of research on diapers.. The cheapest, healthiest, easiest and of course wanting to know my options.. For those who know me I am not one to follow the crowd.. I don't do things because everyone else does it.. I want to know why I am doing it and go full on in whatever I am doing and believe is the best option.. I love looking at blogs from Mom's who do research things out..
Wool diapers.. Now before I got pregnant I would not have known that these guys exist BUT the more I look into these diapers the more I am realizing I am most likely going to do some type of cloth diaper.. Cheaper.. healthier and the diaper is actually really cute! BUT the wool.. WOW.. it blows my mind on all the benefits to these buckaroos
I have decided way before getting pregnant that is if I can have my baby out of the hospital then I am staying out of the hospital!
I have found some wonderful midwives down here in Greenville who have a birthing center in Spartanburg, S.C., called Labors of Love..
When I visited the birth center I thought for sure thats where I want to have the baby..
But the past few days I have been thinking about having my baby at home..
The only reason I want to have the baby at the birthing center is because the midwives know the doctors up in Spartanburg incase anything goes wrong!
BUT.. if I don't need to go to the hospital it would be so nice to have little Shoe here at home..
