Whatever you decide, it sounds like you'll be making a very informed decision! I'mwith you on the students observing. In theory, I'm all for it. But I really don't like the idea of being a guinea pig. I let agreed to let a student observe my last transfer without thinking about it. When the student came in, he looked really familiar. I'm pretty sure he uses the library where I work. Awkward! I like the new blog names. I like anything food related
Have a great time in Connecticut. Elizabeth and I are heading up there too! According to my mother, they got a ton of snow, so it should be very pretty. Does Oliver like playing in the snow?

That is one great bumper sticker. Sounds like you all are doing the right thing by going out and researching all options so you can find what will work best for your needs.

this has nothing to do with picking midwives over obs but don't scold yourself for not wanting to be a teaching example. I had a major surgery several years ago and because it was an interesting case and it was a teaching hospital, I had lots of residents etc. at every consultation with the doctor. Not only did I feel a lack of privacy, I felt like I had to be fixed to show that the doctor had done a good job. how lame is that?! In the end, I was pleased I'd been able to help teach but really, I wouldn't do it again.

Sounds like you've informed yourself to make whatever decision you choose- which of course will be the right one. Have a great time over the holiday with Savory and the babe!!!!

As I'm sure you know by now, it helps to keep a sense of humor about things. Laughter is going to help you get through it all, and I sense a lot of laughter coming from you two

BTW, I have the same problem w/ 2 chicks & a hatchling. Try re-submitting and the word will appear, but then you have to use the tab key to make the entry box appear. Anyway. That worked for me.

Have a fabulous holiday!!

That is an awesome bumper sticker!

Good luck choosing a provider, it sounds as though you're doing a lot of processing around this and I hope you are pleased with your choice.

I love “Salty”, very cute. It sounds like you have a lot to consider with the midwives. It's good you're doing all this research. If they are only affiliated with the University Hosp, though, it soes seem to be adequate reason for concern.

How did you keep yourself from assaulting that guy??
