Mini-Midwife

Mommy is using a midwife to deliver her baby. Her name is Geraldine- she is the same midwife that delivered me at the Puget Sound Birth Center. Since Mommy is planning a home birth this time, Geraldine has come to our house for home visits instead of Mommy and Daddy seeing her at an office somewhere. Ever since Geraldine has been coming to our house, I am a lot more interested in Mommy's tummy. I like feeling for the baby with my hands, kissing Mommy's tummy, and doing all of the things Geraldine does. At Mommy's last appointment, I got to use a tape measure to see how big Mommy is getting. I also watched very carefully when Mommy was getting her blood drawn. I am a great observer and am learning a lot about taking care of Mommy!
