The Truth Shall Make You Odd

Those of you who know me know that I rarely make a decision without first doing some research. It's important to me to do everything right -- "right" stemming from my most educated viewpoint combined with common sense. And in my mind there are no more important decisions to be made than those having to do with pregnancy, childbirth, and the care of a helpless newborn.

So in that vein I thought I would do a series of blog entries sharing some of the decisions my husband and I have made -- along with the information to back them up. I realize that my thinking is far from mainstream, but then I never put much stock in mainstream thinking. As Flannery O'Connor is rumored to have said, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd."

First subject: why we're not going to be circumcising our baby. Stay tuned.
