Hi

My name is Carrie and my husband and I are anxiously awaiting the birth of our second child. We are planning a homebirth with our friends and family and are due any day now!
We also have a little 3 year old girl. She is our little risk taking, quick witted, stubborn sweet baby. She brings so much to my life.
My husband and I have been together for four and half years now. We met the day after I turned eighteen and I have been head over heals ever since. We both own our own businesses and we are both secretly competitive of one another.
I am a firm believer in my God and He is the most significant part of my life. I love to cook, garden and sew... and I try my best to run a smooth household; though sometimes it gets the best of me. For the past two years I have been on a mission to "purposefully" eat... meaning every food choice and ingredient has a purpose for our bodies. I am anti- vax and try to whenever possible use holistic health care methods for my family.
I am looking forward to getting to know more young mothers ( there are very very few where I am from) and hopefully learn a little too Smile

Hey luvinonmytwo,
I'm Jewell, a 23 year old, 24ish wks pregnant, student at a school up in the midwest. I'll be graduating this spring with an environmental and women studies major, ecofeminism if you will. I unexpectedly found myself pregnant with my partner late summer and we've been scrambling to make ends meet. I'm on food assistance, medicad and just trying to make the money stretch. I wanted a homebirth like you'll be having, but it money's far too tight.

In my free time I like to read, critique patriarchy at large, get creative, bike when I'm not exhausted from pregnancy, care for myself, and when I got time, volunteer at the only abortion clinic in ND.

Re: Hi

Howdy! I'm 22 and have a 5 year old, 3 year old, 1 year old and am expecting our latest in May. Been with my fella almost 5 years (married for almost 3) and clearly have a nack for makin' babies. I'm trying to get into gardening. Well, I'm very much "into" it but have no idea where to start. Have a perfect patch of earth for veggies (so I think) and want to uproot some ugly bushes in the front of our house and put some hibiscus plants or something. Help??? Also, do you have any favorite recipes you can't be without? If you eat meat I have some I can share, otherwise I only have 1 (vegan chocolate cake). What sort of things do you sew? A friend is going to teach me crochete soon. Used to cross-stich and I love embroidering.
