Revelations

It has been a while, and I'm not sure where this is all going. I have seen two or three law suits in the newspaper which included blog sites. I've given it lots of thought and am concerned that I too might be included in that category. I initially thought that blogging would be a great way to put some of my thoughts and frustration in order and perhaps get feedback if anyone in the world read them. Now I know that although it might be therapeutic for me, it also could be harmful. I feel that I have to limit my commentary. I'm still delivering babies, and for the most part still loving it.

Best Birth

I had the opportunity to be present for a wonderful home birth. This was the birth of my 4th grandchild. My daughter had asked me to "catch" . I was prepared to do whatever needed to be done and am well aware that "catching" is not the only thing that needs to happen as a baby is being born. I had no need to run the show. As it turned out I was able to hold my daughter in my arms as she birthed baby number 4 in a standing squat into the waiting hands of Alice my daughter's midwife. This was another girl. Now the count is 3 girls, 1 boy. It was a beautiful birth and everyone was present. The family experience was wonderful and there was truly a feeling of joy and thankfulness all around. Baby Leila Naomi is breastfeeding well and everyone is healthy and happy and doing great. How lucky I am to have such a beautiful, healthy family.
