It's been a little while (approximately 16 weeks, not that I'm counting…) since I've shown my face around here, and since Auntie Leila's been on a roll, I've managed not to feel too guilty about neglecting my share of LMLD (which, you may recall, is supposed to be a collaborative effort).
The thing is, I've been working on another project, one that's rather monopolized my energy over the last few months. However, I'm getting to the point where I can handle other things as well (the Lt. is happy to report I'm cooking dinner again, and even occasionally thinking about cleaning things!), so I'm optimistically declaring my return to the blog, hopefully to be followed by some regular posting in which I plan to contemplate our months of temporary living, our adventures setting up our new home in California, and of course, getting ready for the arrival of this little one in late December…

Here is a link to the California cesarean rates by hospital so that you can pick a good hospital. http://www.theunnecesarean.com/blog/2010/4/9/cali…
To pick a good doctor even though you are new to the area I would call the hospital and ask for a natural birth friendly OB or call your local Bradley instructor and ask for an OB recommendation. To search for teachers go to http://bradleybirth.com
Even if you are not committed to a fully natural childbirth, the natural birth friendly OBs are more likely to care that you have a vaginal birth.

My Dear Rosie- I am so happy for you! You are in Nate and my prayers always. I'm always so happy when you post something so I can hear about how you two are doing. Congrats on the packing of the car- I remember Nate and I doing the same thing moving back and forth to the midwest when we were first married. All the best always!
