I love to read.
When I say I love to read, what I really mean is that I love to read. This year has been light on content, but high in quantity. Years past have been the reverse. I don’t discriminate between genres. Very little is too fluffy or too heavy for me to devour. I’ll read just about anything.
This is what makes it particularly hard for me to decide not to finish reading something. (more…)

Sorry to keep you all in suspense, but I had a good ultrasound (for the most part). There’s a real live baby in there, with a real live beating heart. Yay!
That said, I’m still not totally stress-free about this whole pregnancy thing. The baby measures 9 days behind “dates” — I typically ovulate late, so this isn’t necessarily “abnormal” — but has a good strong heartbeat. I will feel better when this u/s is followed up with the midwives and I can see that growth is remaining consistent, though. My EDD based on gestational age is May 18, 2010.

Anticipating a good result on Friday, I’m trying to decide which set of midwives to phone this time. Last time I was with The Midwifery Group of Ottawa and, while I was extremely happy with the pregnancy care and the postpartum care, events that occurred during the birth left me somewhat less confident in them.
Does anyone who reads here have experiences with the Midwifery Collective? Are they “medwives”?

I’ve become a lazy blogger — too preoccupied with my gardening, I think, to do much more than contemplate posting. However, I’ve some stuff to share in point form:
