Hello,

I am Alannah I have one baby boy 10 months old and one big boy (husband).  I am a stay at home breastfeeding mama and I LOVE it.  I am an ative member of the local La Leche League and Shreveport bossier Babywearers.

I have a ring sling and hope to purchase a Mei tai soon. I have been wearing Stephen since he was 1 or 2 months.

My name is Melissa and I often go by Mel but I don’t have a preference. I'm 35 years old and a first time mom.  My son was born 4-9-07 and is 7 weeks old today.  I just know we are only days away from that first smile. He smiles and giggles in his sleep constantly so we've had some great sneak peeks. His name is Jensen David. Jensen is a Nordic name to honor my husband’s ancestry.

Jamie, my dh, and I have been together since July 20, 2002. We are a match.com success story and it was love at first sight. We moved in together in September of the same year then decided to get married when we decided to have a baby. We married on the 4-year anniversary of that first date last year. We had a getaway wedding and went to Boston. It was a wonderful week. It was sort of a last hoorah! LOL. Jamie and I love to go to Irish pubs and try new beers so it was the perfect destination. We also started trying to get pregnant on the first day of the trip and while he was not a honeymoon baby we were pregnant with Jensen 23 days later.

Because of my age and the number of years I had been on birth control I had expected it to take some time. Soon after we returned from Boston I purchased a basal thermometer anticipating that I would need a little help. The funny part about that is that I was already 9 days pregnant the day I bought the thermometer! We found out we were pregnant really fast. My body told me right away with a dizzy heat flash, very tender breasts and MANY trips to the bathroom. I thought it couldn’t be already but I took a pregnancy test about 3 days before my period was due and it turned positive immediately.

I’m also a student on again off again since 1989. Still no bachelor’s degree but I’m only 5 classes away from finishing. I’m taking the summer off. Typically I take 2 classes per semester but I see no way I could possibly take 2 classes in the fall and keep up with an infant so I will need to drop to 1 class per semester. That means the Financial Aid folks will start hounding me soon. I’m not sure what I’ll do about that because we’re not ready to add that bill. When Jensen is 1 or 2 I will start a grad program probably in clinical psychology. I hope to eventually work with people in an institutional setting with severe eating disorders.

Jamie and I want me to be a stay at home mom until Jensen goes to school. We are considering having a second child so we would wait a little longer. I had a rough pregnancy toward the very end. I have chronic hypertension for which I’ve taken meds for about 9 years. At the end of my pregnancy my bp was typically 180/110 and went as high as 203/121. At week 36 I had some protein in my urine but my doc said it was still in the ok range. On my Monday 37-week visit, after spending Thursday and Friday of the previous week in labor in delivery with blood pressure and swelling problems, my doc said, “let’s have a baby.” I thought she was going to make me wait until week 38 so we were really surprised. Jensen was full breech so I had to have a C-Section. Jensen David joined the world with a loud wail at 5:49 pm.

That’s probably enough to get us started. Ask me questions, please! I hope to get to know everyone. Oh, I guess I should say where we live, lol! We’re in Liberty, TN. We’re about an hour from Nashville.

Hi, Everyone!

I practice(d) Attachment Parent by choice and necessity.  My baby was born with a heart defect so I had to keep her calm before her operation.  This meant lots of babywearing and attention and nursing!

 I'm excited to see what this website is about.

Hello all!

I am the mother of a 4 year old son, who I wore for the first 9 months of his life and he's a great little kid! I plan on wearing and nursing my little one that's due in June. I hope to meet other moms who use this type of parenting.

Hello!
I am a WAHM with an 8 month old daughter. We started co-sleeping at around 4 months when she was waking every hour over night. What a difference it made. I am now wondering when to move her back to her bed. She has started waking frequently overnight to nurse briefly. I am wondering if being in bed with me now keeps her from sleeping though the night. Any suggestions?
We live in Washington DC but may be relocating to Chicago this year.

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda. I have one son, Isaac who is 9 weeks old. I found out about attachment parenting by accident from reading "The Baby Book" by dr sears but we now love it (and so does Isaac!). Any advice is great since I'm a new mom. I'd love to start a meetup group in my area since there isn't even one close but don't know if i'm qualified to do that lol. Any advice?
