like a kid in a candy store

That is what I feel like since discovering this site and Attachment Parenting and Grace Based Discipline. It is frutrating on one hand because I feel so alone IRL, but on the other it is valadating to know that they things that i always wanted to do (carrying my baby/cosleeping/cd/homeschooling) are not crazy. I am having SO much fun getting to know you all, it is such a blessing. AND I am having a blast making slings and diapers and all that. I got my "sampler pack" from Thanks Mama today, SO cool! I can't wait til I can really get into the homeschool thing. I talked to my dh and we just got our insurance cards! YEHAW, this is the first time I haven't been on medicaid since I turned 18 and was dropped from my Dad's. We are going to try to find an AP/Natural friendly doctor. Do ya'll have any resources for that? Anyway, I just wanted to tell you all how cool you are

YEA GCM!

That is awesome! I'm so glad you're part of our community.

As for how to find an AP/Natural friendly doctor, well, I've heard that sometimes the ladies at LLL meetings can give good recommendations. or if your insurance covers ND's, sometimes they can be really great.

akmyilee, you echo my sentiments about GCM. Its nice to know that we re not alone, nor are we crazy for loving our children in a very hands on way

I com ee here a lot to get filled up on good wholesome parenting.
