    New thread and hopefully another new homebirthed bubba here soon.

    Your birth story was great, Bella.

    We've chosen our DD2's middle name - Hannah Jane (from DP, whose middle name is John).

    Saw my m/w today - only one more visit until we're done. I'm glad we'll catch up at our monthly HB get togethers or I'd be much sadder. Feels like a chapter is closing. I even got up the courage to ask about DTD today. everything is feeling pretty good, but I'm not that upset about missing my m/w that I want an excuse to have her back, so I told DP to get condoms last night!

    Packed away the birth pool and put the dining room back in order too. *sigh* I'll have to watch the birth video to cheer myself up!

    Oh bella I can't wait to read. But the length scares me off at the moment. I love to get a good cup of tea and no interruptions when I'm reading a good birth story. Teething Molly won't agree to this tonight. So rather than spoil it I'll read tomorrow. But thank you for sharing such a personal experience with us.

    Thinking of you hoti

    I am still here, been semi-reclusing, reflecting, energising.

    My Mum took DD for a few hours today and i had a lovely rest chilling under the fan. DH and i picked her up and then got take away from our fav restaurant. DD had fallen asleep in the car so we parked next to a park and had a picnic dinner. DD then woke up and joined the picnic and then we played on the playground for almost an hour. It was lovely just to spend that time together.

    Appt with our midwife tomorrow.

    thank you for your lovely messages.

    Oh meow, i KWIM! now that i have cable here in LA i am gobsmacked at the birth shows! they are all super super medical and c-section central! and the way that they are done! i am horrified and had a little cry when i saw one baby being left stark naked, with his arms out above him searching for a grasp of his mummy, only to find those horrid bright lights of theatre and a plastic covered hand man-handling him to put INK prints of his feet on some paper!! and the rough as suctioning...with no bodily support or cocooning. my gosh.

    Did anyone watch 'the doctors' tv show today? they had a segment on waterbirth- 'when water and babies don't mix'. AN ad came on for it just before my midwife appt, and we ended up watching it (midwife, student midwife, dh and i).

    the dr lisa had a disgusting prop of a fishbowl with a doll lying under the surface of brown feral water.
