I'm glad you visited my birth blog and its nice to find another LDS woman who can sympathize with my parenting philosophy. <br /><br />You're right that I am enrolled in midwifery school. Its not really reflected on my blog because I haven't updated it, or officially made the announcement on here either. Its been a crazy summer... I have announced it on my blog facebook page, just not over here. <br /><br />That's exciting that you know you want to become a midwife! Do you know which school you would like to attend? Are you in Utah?Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693855868835555292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203036662354683172.post-52786300874822496552010-08-30T21:50:18.865-07:002010-08-30T21:50:18.865-07:00oops, just read your intro to the right, not a mid...oops, just read your intro to the right, not a midwife...cchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900004354337917385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203036662354683172.post-64762804384109063992010-08-30T21:46:42.992-07:002010-08-30T21:46:42.992-07:00I've really enjoyed reading through your posts...I've really enjoyed reading through your posts, and I identify with a lot of your experiences. <br /><br />We co-slept with our first two, and although I loved being close to them, I think we could have done a better job at not letting them be so dependent on us. We did better with our third and everyone slept better. Now with our fourth, I'm trying to re-create the success from last time, but I'm too tired to put him in his bed at night - plus I want as much snuggle time as I can get as he's my last baby - even though we're not sleeping too great. <br /><br />And I thought at one point that I wanted to go on to have six, until I realized the competitive element involved for me and that if I kept going i would become less of the mother I wanted to be, not more. But that wasn't something I understood until recently. Don't worry about that bridge until you cross it - you'll know what's right for you. <br /><br />And I really hope you figure out your hip issues. That really sucks. Mine sound similar and got worse with each pregnancy, but for me it lets up after delivery. I just hope I don't have to deal with it again as I get older! <br /><br />Lastly (sorry for the length) are you looking to become a midwife, or did I misunderstand? I recently decided that this is what I want to do once my children are old enough. I appreciate and agree with your perspective on childbirth. I did hypnobirthing with my last delivery - probably the only way I made it through a posterior baby, but who knows...<br /><br />Wow, sorry for rambling, I had more to respond to than I thought. It's rare to find someone with such similarities in these areas. <br /><br />- Corktreecchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900004354337917385noreply@blogger.com
