I have several, healthy children, and I'd echo many of the suggestions already. 1. homebirth is good, but be prepared to got the hospital if something goes wrong. It happens and you need to have a backup plan. 2. No vaccines. They're a scam. Our oldest got the most vaccines before we read and realized enough. Our youngest didn't get any and he's the healthiest. 3. No sugar. Y'all should stop eating sugar and don't let your kid eat sugar regularly. Obviously, its OK to have some sweets here and then, but not every day. Cut out soft drinks (sodas) and breads. Feed him, your wife and yourself meat, veggies, fruits, water, milk. 4. Definitely homeschool. 5. Make a conscious effort to teach your values, because society won't. 6. Teach your child to love and follow God and Jesus Christ 7. Tell your wife that there is no reason for her to get super fat during pregnancy. See #3.
