Ohmygoodness, I am so excited for you! And I’m (not surprisingly) jealous – there’s such a need for CNMs here. You should come into Louisville for Birth in the Bluegrass in June. I won’t be there (boo!) but it’d be a great networking opportunity for you.

I would love to meet you sometime! Not many people around to relate to around my neck of the woods. We often venture up to Lexington to shop and visit the brother-in-law. Sometime we have to meet and have some food!

We have GOT to meet in the middle sometime. I’m outside of Louisville, but the more you write, the more we have in common … I think I have a blogger crush.

I LOVE the Sims games. I played The Sims Medieval a while back and it was an excellent change of pace with clear goals and objectives. FU plays video games way more than I do, but I think I just get too frustrated. I do much better with open ended or multiplayer games. Been all excited about Modern Warfare 3 coming out in a few days.

I love this post! I love (most) gamers – the Mr. MommaKT played WoW before me, now plays Star Trek Online. I’m a superfail in that the only game I play regularly is Sims 3. I have some badass Momma gamer friends, too, that play their games of choice religiously, when they’re not fulfilling Mom duties.

It’s hard for me to be around my friends that are currently pregnant and I don’t WANT another baby right now. I do enjoy pregnancy, but I have my hands full with the two boys I have right now. Being a Mom does weird things to our brains!!

Comment on Why can’t I pull out of this rut? by Katie

Well, the Frontier thing recently came up in a conversation, so I’m assuming it’s true. It’s worth looking into, anyway.

My husband has the choice to attend the next birth of our baby or not. He’s not a super involved labor coach and I don’t need him to be – I focused on my doula and talked her head off while I was in labor with A. My next babe, whenever we decide to grow our family, will be born at home … because I refuse to have another hospital birth.

I hope that you can find peace with your birth, Momma. I had Stadol and an epidural with my first birth and Stadol’s some weird stuff. I totally missed two full hours of my life – I was apparently drunk dialing every single person in my phone at 2am, in the middle of the week. It’s really disheartening to think that your advocate didn’t stick up for you when you really needed him to. I’m angry because I didn’t stick up for myself. These are tough emotions to handle.

Don’t feel like a creeper! I completely needed someone to comment today.

I’m in the Corbin/London area. I’ve heard a lot about the Frontier School of Midwifery, but I didn’t know they did anything like that. I’m not sure my husband would even “let” me do a home birth if I really wanted. Which is one of the reasons I’m so torn about even doing it again.

I feel awful especially after pretty much being told that I only got what I asked for. I can’t say that he’s lying, but I mean I was 8cm and 10 minutes from having a baby. I don’t know what to believe and all I know is it hurts. That day was the best and the worst day of my entire life. It hurts more because the people that I feel like should be on my side and understand my pain are the ones causing a lot of the re-occurrences.

Thank you so much for the virtual hugs, I really needed them today.
