I like to think that the 19 year old me would recognize and approve of the 32 year old me. I'm older and smarter, more thoughtful, happier, and have my life more together. I think the 19 year old would be surprised, though, that I don't have children. My progression was the opposite of yours- I wanted children very much until I was about 22, at which point I started questioning that and within a few years I knew I didn't want any after all. I love having my nieces and nephews and friends' kids to play with and love, but no desire to have kids of my own. Whew, I had the same question as Ms Tek at first.

I was able to separate myself from the "sick kids" before I had my daughter Hannah. Now I can't be more than a few feet away from a box of tissues when one of those commercials come on. I too have a hankering for anything "Rooster" or "Chicken" covered! I don't know how that came about, but I find myself drawn to them!! II really like the cute purse too! Great blast from the past photo! Love it! ~Monica~ The comment made by “Ro” cracks me up because that is so me!! I was able to separate myself from the “sick kids” before I had my daughter Hannah.

I was pretty lost at 29 and when I found out I was pregnant it was the "slap to the head" I needed to get my poop in a group. Before her, I'd never stayed in a relationship for more than 2 years. The husband and I will be celebrating our 9th anniversary this year. Lil finally made me see myself as someone important and that I needed to take care of myself too.

It's the personality changes that happen AFTER the kid is born that freak me out. You know, now you see a sick kid on TV and spend 2 hours in the bathroom balling your eyes out! ;) I wasn’t affected by “baby lust” and fell pregnant by accident.

Sorry to hear the bubba's are still sick. Mine is feeling much better, however the germs have now been passed over to me! If Adelaide felt as horrid as I do right now, I wish I had been extra nice and comforting to her that is for sure. The old biological clock is a funny thing. I was pretty sure that I always wanted children, although when I got pregnant I did consider 'other' options for a nanosecond, but my friends were the same as you at university. I'm not sure what exactly triggered their baby lust, but it was literally an overnight change. It was be really interesting for you I bet to read back over your Women's Study papers to see when, if and how much your opinions have changed. Heck, that sounds like a great idea for a Masters thesis right there! “nursing a beaver” … that just made me spit out my tea laughing.

I wrote a little bit about it under the "CLOTH DIAPER" link up top. :) Emma -- Nipple rings -- yeah, I just took 'em out. Some women don't, but I can't imagine breastfeeding with them in personally. Corrie -- NatureClean!! I buy it through the ONFC food coop -- 18kg for $60. I think it works great. I also really love their dishwashing liquid soap. It's SLS and phosphate free, cleans great and bubbles nicely (which Bob loves). Stephanie: Fuzzi Bunz & BumGenius are our faves!

( so far the PC brand works the best, but at 8.99 for like 20 tabs, i was hoping to find something else ) i love old pictures.

I don't remember how I came upon them! I enjoy reading about your adventures in parenting. I agree with so many of the beliefs you have in parenting and pregnancy. I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby. While I still have a ways to go I am a planner. There are so many options for cloth diapers out there that is just overwhelms me! I was wondering if you could share your experience with the different types and brands, which are your favorites? I thank you so much for sharing your life and insight in your blogs and for your time! ~Stephanie I have been reading your blogs for quite a while. I don’t remember how I came upon them!
