We had our first real midwife appointment today, and at the same time met the other midwife in the practice. We liked her just as much as the first one, so we’re happy with our decision.

Update from the Road

By kate on August 23rd, 2005

I’m currently on a week’s vacation in the midwest with (my best friend) Zach. The trip was his birthday gift to me last year; one last little trip before Steve and I have kids. We flew into Chicago, drove right away to Wisconsin, and ended up in The Dells, a wonderland of amusement parks, haunted […]
