I am a soon-to-be second time mom. My husband and I are happily (and nevously) awaiting the arrivial of our second son in the next week or so. I had hoped to start this blog several weeks ago as a way to vent my worries, share my new experiences, and give insight into any alternative techniques I try this go 'round. Unfortunately I didn't get the courage to start it until yesterday and I am supposed to be induced Thursday. With this child I have decided to take up several enviromentally friendly, and hopefully cost effective, methods of child care including: reusable cloth diapers, breastfeeding, and hand-me-down clothes from my first son. I am also having to face the delima of either being a stay-at-home mom or returning to the workforce and will be introduced to the headache of sibling rivalry. This pregnancy has been very different from my first and I have to admit that it has been very nerve racking. Between trips to the hospital because of extended periods of time without any fetal movement and additional ultrasounds required because of low ambioatic fluid levels, my husband and I have both spent many sleepless nights worried about our baby. Now the count down is on for the few remaining days we have to wait until we meet our little boy.
