Its time i update this thing. My name is Hillary, my boyfriend is Michael. We are having a baby girl in October. We decided to name her Gianna. I plan on breastfeeding, possibly cosleeping (atleast deff having the bassinet in our room for the first few months) i would LOVE to achieve elimination communication so I will start from birth, I would rather be a non spanking mother but god help me if she insists on running into the street I will swat her on her leg/hand. Im not so sure about the CIO method but we will cross that bridge when we get there. Im excited to meet our baby girl and just love her as much as i possibly can. I am a very non judgemental mother who realizes that you will raise your child the way you want, I will raise my child the way I want. I like to talk, read blogs, go on polls and such so dont be afraid to invite me into your network..
