ACOG finally catching up
I'll high five them, even though the length of time it took to arrive to this point is deplorable. But in case you missed it, take note of ACOG's new guidelines. They've finally acknowledged what the natural birth and midwifery communities have been saying (to EXTREME criticism I'll add) for years.

Good night jasper
When Robbie and I first moved in together we shared a floor of an old warehouse in Fort Point with eight other artists. A woman named Becca lived across the hall. As things worked out, Becca eventually married an architect and moved to JP just before Robbie and I did. When we found out we were pregnant with Ry, we found out Becca and her husband ( Read more... ) -
