After a long wait after filling out application papers to get myself a midwife for a home birth, she is coming to visit to fill out a(nother) questionnaire next week!
So far pregnancy feels like endless paperwork!
She will have her 2 children with her which I am not 100% comfortable with (but that's just me...I'm not good with kids! That's just the way I am and it's no ones fault) but we have a park with a little playground just down the road so maybe we can go and do all the paperwork and questions while sitting on the grass under a tree.
Yeah I know LOL. I just get really shy around kids and don't know what to do with them. Plus our house is not exactly appealing to a child. We are nerds so it is full of books!
Angela - thats so exciting! I wish so much I could have a home water birth but I live in the bush, am 36yo, and am just a little too far from the hospital if something should go wrong!
My house isn't very child friendly either - and for the same reason. Too many books! I dont know what we're gonna do about it once bub arives!
You can't have too many books for kids! Keep those books in your house, ladies!!!
I read somewhere once that the easiest predictor of academic success or failure for a person (with all of the associated socio-economic implications) was simply to count how many books where in their parents house. The more books, the more successful the person was.
(OK, academic success doesn't necessarily make happiness, but it does make for a lot of pretty useful things, in my opinion).
Our place is full of books. We'll have to put doors on some of the bookcases, the lower shelves anyway, by the time our baby is able to crawl over and pull the books out. But we won't be getting rid of any of them, just adding more books suited to small people than we currently have...
Midwife coming to visit!
