I will be exclusively breast feeding and having a completely natural birth! She is due 12/9/12... Almost there!! Im a writer currently working on a novel... I graduated Southern New Hampshire University with my B.A. in Creative writing (focus in fiction)& English in March of this year... I have 4 younger siblings who I love to spend time with and my mom is my best friend . I like being creative, artsy stuff, reading, etc. That's pretty much it for me!

Welcome. look around and have fun. Congratulations on your new family.

I love creative writing. What type of fiction is your go to inspiration?

I know I probably sound like a jerk in your other thread. Please keep in mind we have all sorts of people from different backgrounds here. Its kinda rare finding something we all agree on. I almost expect people here to challenge my assumptions on things. Which I think has value as it take me outside my head and makes me look at stuff from different perspective's. We also have some family professional's and scholars who make us think from time to time. It is a pretty diverse group.

Take the time to have some fun and get to know some of the posters. Dissenting opinions are a little easier to digest if you know a little about the poster.

Welcome: Congratulations: have fun.

Thank you!

My novel is a murder/romance but I honestly write a lot more poetry/prose than anything. I have a blog through tumblr where I share a lot of writing/parenting/pregnancy stuff, haha.

As far as inspiration, I just read A LOT. Whether it's books, newspapers, pieces from other writers on blogs like Tumblr, etc.. When we lived in NYC I did a lot of people watching (which is always fun, haha.)

It's alright. I think that I would have been understood better if I included more background. It was late and I was upset and frustrated when I posted it and probably should have shared more than I did in order for you all to understand exactly where I am coming from. I understand that everyone has their own views and opinions, as well.

I am the oldest of 5. I am {cough, cough} 40, my siblings are 32, 21, 19 and one who was placed for adoption and is 16. I've been in contact with him for about a year now. I have kids the same ages as my younger siblings, and some are older then them

I honestly write a lot more poetry/prose than anything.

Thats super cool. I took "The Cremation of Sam Magee" (msp)to All State in Iowa HS to win. Now nobody has ever heard about that poem making it hard to brag about HS. I dont get to read much of that type of stuff anymore. I kinda miss that.

 

[VeggieMomma]

Thanks

Yeah, I am sorry to say I have never heard of it.. That is awesome though!

You should absolutely check out the writing/lit community on tumblr if you are looking for some good reads I really enjoy it.

Hi Becca,

My name is Cybele, I am Mum to 5 (plus one extra we have living with us) plus 4 cats, so it's like 4 extra hairy and always grumpy children who sit on your head. I am a bridal florist and am also a vegetarian all my kids were raised vegetarian too.

 

[VeggieMomma]

Hello Cybele! Nice to meet you

I have one pitbull/lab puppy He just turned 2 and we have had him since he was 3 months old. He's my furry baby, haha. I spoil him... He loves to cuddle though and it's super adorable! xD I think him and my daughter will grow to be best friends

LOL! We had a cat once before and he was SO evil D: We ended up finding a new home for him because he just wouldn't stop attacking me all the time! LOL

That's awesome that you are also vegetarian!! I would love some advice on raising a vegetarian baby if you wouldn't mind I am thinking that I want to do baby led weaning and I will be breast feeding until she decides she is sick of me, haha

 

[cybele]

No problems, happy to help

 

[VeggieMomma]

Thanks! You can PM with any advice or research if you'd like or we could always talk over skype, etc... I am always interested in learning new things

Hey, welcome!

I love writing too, although I'm strictly amateur where that is concerned! I'd love to read your blog - why don't you add it as your homepage in your profile?

 

[VeggieMomma]

Thanks!

Alright! I will add it to my profile soon

Your daughter will have a beautiful name, I love it. That's awesome that you've known your husband for so long. My husband and I also married young (not quite as young as you, but close) and we have loved "growing up together." We have 3 kids.

Thank you so much!! My husband picked it out I think he did a great job, hehe.

Yeah, we've been together since we were 12... It's crazy when we sit down and talk about how long we have been together. We were each others first every things, haha.

That's awesome!

I hope to have 4 kids but we're still discussing how many we want, hehe. My husband is from NYC and eventually he would like to move back into the city so we would have to plan out how we could afford 4 kids and a nice place to live... Im hoping it will work out though. We have plenty of time for planning for now, I suppose!
