Meeting The Midwife!

I met Susan, the midwife, today. Not only does she have the same name as my mom, but also the same age, with a month difference! This is a great sign because the midwife plays a role like a mother. She is very kind and mellow...two things we find essential in a midwife. She shares all the same beliefs as us about mainstream medicine and using natural alternatives like homeopathy and herbal remedies...which I was hoping for. She supports patience in natural childbirth, as well as waterbirth. What I like best about her is that she has this overall reassuring feeling that there is no need to worry about a thing. She seems perfect for us! I'm happy I found her and look forward to bringing Vishnu Das and Haridas to meet her next month to hear the baby's heartbeat. Yay!
