Warm treats on cool nights


Where have I been? Moving!

What have I been up to? Packing, cleaning, and unpacking!

I'm also getting to know the new neighborhood (just a few blocks away from the old), regularly attending prenatal yoga classes, starting up at the local chiropractor (life changing for a pregnant woman!), hanging out at my friend Chelsea's house, baking all sorts of yummy fruit treats -- baked apples, strawberry pie -- and drinking lots of decaf English Breakfast tea. It's this fall weather; I can't help myself.

Now that the computer is set up, we have internet access, and I've located my camera card reader, hopefully I will get this blog up and rolling again.

Wow CC - read about the book on amazon. It makes so much sense - hospitals taking over the "business" of having babies to the point where midwifery is outlawed in some states. That is unbelievable. Reminds me of when at the turn of the century the AMA discredited the homeopathic practioners & drove them out of business -- at that time practioners in this country were about half homeopathic, half allopathic (sp?) physicians. Now, just a remnant of the homeopathic healers remains. And what would I do about my keratoconus, flu, stress, etc without complimentary homeopathic medicine? These cures would be gone & not available to those they help.
Gosh, I never realized the same is now true for targeting (their competition)midwives in this country. If only people realized what was at stake.
So glad you and David decided to go this route. You will have an easy, family delivery! XOX

Wow! A doctor for this generation rethinking the provision of medical help in the most affordable, accessible way possible. What a concept! ;o)
Glad there is creative thinking happening in the most unexpected places!
