something I have been thinking about

I have been thinking long and hard about this for a while now…. I haven’t talked to Chris yet about it because I have yet to decide if I really want to push for it, but the more and more I think about having this baby the more I want to bring this baby up Wiccan. I know that Chris and I have had this discussion before, but I have this unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach about this and the only thing that makes it feel right is the thought of having a Wiccaning done on this baby. Now having a Wiccaning done does not mean that once the baby grows up, if he or she decides that Wicca is not the path for them to follow, that they can’t change their religious path…. with a Wiccaning they have the freedom to do so, but I would feel so much more at ease if I knew that a Wiccaning was performed.

I worry about even bringing this up to Chris because he isn’t really religious at all and I don’t think that he would really go for it, I have a strong feeling that he would be really opposed to the idea of it. So I haven’t brought it up but it keeps crossing my mind. I don’t know how to even broach the subject with him… so until I gather up all the information that I need I don’t think I will be. Besides I would need Goddes and God parents and he and I haven’t even talked about that yet.

So much to think of…

I have an OB appt tomorrow so hopefully I am more then 1cm dialated. I’m hoping for about 3cm…. fingers crossed because I’m ready. I am SO ready to have this baby!

I think you should bring it up. If its anything like a baptism, its just to ward off bad spirits, ect, right? Or am I totally off base? Daniel is Wiccan, too, and I’d be fine if he suggested that. Like you said, if he isn’t religious and you’d have no problem if the babe decided to follow a different path as a teen/adult, then I’m sure he’d be fine with it. Good luck tho!

keep in mind his views on the topic is valid aswell, i mean you might have to find a happy medium, like not have it done but let them know as they get older all about it and let them pick when they can make that choice. Religion is a fincky topic, my views and my wifes views are 2 different all together, so our children will grow up wihtout either until they r old enough to decide what they want to do be it one of our ideas or somehting different

I’m sure that you two will figure out what is right for your baby. The more you talk about it openly, the more information you will both have to work with.

RYN: my whole view on eating right for the baby is that I will try my hardest but if something that’s not perfect slips in here or there then oh well. They didn’t have all these rules about what to eat and drink back in the 60s and 70s and babies turned out fine. I think people are overly cautious sometimes, but the advice from people who have never had children & aren’t doctors is just weird.
