Many of you have asked how things are going here in Tri-Cities. It's all good.
Lindsay is more beautiful than ever. Her growing baby boy will most likely come close to his estimated due date on Andrey's birthday next Monday. It is a blessing to have some time to settle in here before my role as midwife is called for. We've been sewing and cooking, washing baby clothes and holding the space. There is no need to hurry. As always when "the day" gets closer, I like to think about what the baby is doing. The final touches are being added, lungs a bit stronger each day, body systems readying for the big transition and positioning for a smooth ride out. There's the spiritual readiness as well. He's gathering the gifts that are his to bring to this family, to this planet. There are goodbyes being shared in that place where all is light. I can imagine a big spiritual gulp on his part as he looks earthward. For my part, I am savoring the prep time on this side and sending courage to baby boy's side. Midwife mama is a unique place to be. I am grateful.
This is where I live .
This is why I do it.

An october 18th birthday would be a good one! That's my birthday too! Hope all is well.
REALLY cute picture of the kiddies!!! I ADORE Gavin's dimple/smile!!! I want to sing silly songs with him.
There is no one better than you to hold the space.
I think about Lindsay and that baby boy everyday.
