My New Favorite Person ...

After six months of getting no love from our less-than-friendly doctor, we decided to go with a midwife. I know you're probably thinking we've lost our minds and hired a matronly, brute woman with calloused hands who'll show up at our house with towels, a wash basin and candles ready to deliver our baby on our kitchen floor. Not so! My midwife - my new favorite person in the whole world (other than my baby's daddy, of course) - is AMAZING ... and, not to worry, she delivers at a hospital with all the luxuries of modern medical technology (not to mention pain meds!).

I had my first official office visit with her on Friday and I received more care and attention in one half-hour appointment with her than I did the entire six months I've beenAlign Left with Dr. Coldheart. I almost burst into tears right in her office. She actually took the time to review my medical history before my appointment - imagine that! I finally feel at peace with this whole scary birth process. Whew! I'm so sad I didn't find her earlier, but so thankful I found her in time.
