I appreciate both perspectives. Personally, I do know of either folks (La Leche League and BabyWise) and this to my chagrin (or bliss?). All I know right now is that we are scheduled to take a bunch of classes at the hospital where my wife is having our baby, and somewhere in that schedule nursing is included. I need to look into this matter some more. Stephen,

In my researches, I'm finding them to be just as fanatical and intolerant as some of those <i>BabyWise</i> folks are. They even go so far as to go to various bookstores to deface <i>BabyWise</i> books and to put anti-<i>BabyWise</i> propaganda in the books. Eerily reminds me of Jack Chick disciples and highway rest-stop bathrooms. My only advice on the various parenting "groups" and "methods" to you would be the exact same that I give engaged couples planning their wedding: What you want is Law. Period. If you believe - after research and discussion, consulting the Word and praying - that one way is the Lord's will, do it and everyone else can hush. I don’t know about these La Leche League folks.

Half of the time he's in our bed. I figure at this juncture, getting a crib would be pointless. LOL. I highly recommend checking out if you have a local La Leche League to help with nursing the baby (that is, of course, if your wife plans on nursing). Parents are always welcome and encouraged to join the meetings together, especially for first time parents. I learned a lot as a first time mom.

I don't know what advice to give in general, but I certainly would enjoy meeting up when you guys get in town. Keep in touch! Terry,

Having read more and more of your posts and comments, I am gathering that you do. My family and I are getting ready to move to Louisville on 1 August so I can attend Southern full-time. I would appreciate any advice you might have and maybe we could get together for some coffee or something if you are up to it. God's blessings Tim

We have a garage outside that the apartment people gave us, but I am concerned about the integrity and lifespan of the books being in such a hot area. I don't know if having them tubbed makes any difference or not. I had my library cataloged at one time, but the file was on my laptop, which was stolen (while in use at church of all places!). Since then, I have not had the time or energy to organize the library. I would love to do that sometime, though. John, I will talk to my wife about that. Thanks for the advice. Tom,

There were quite a few nice one there for even cheaper - it may be worth checking out. John Timmy,

What I have done (because of lack of book space--those children really get in the way of a library) is catalog all my books and then put them in those legal sized boxes (the ones you build yourself). I have a system that I use to know which books are in which box. It has made it easier for me to put my books in boxes even though I would rather have all of them on display in all their glory! I hope this is of some help for you--I remember struggling through all this! God bless you, brother. I understand the moving of books.
