Sorry we slacked off on this blog. We are in the last few weeks of my pregnancy and that is taking ALL our energy(well, the toddlers are helping with that too;).
I want to post a really good long post with lots of pix, but today you will have to settle with two really awesome and important articles on c-sections in America. Being currently pregnant this is an issue that deeply concerns me. NV has a 40% c-section average, and the rest of the country is atleast at 30% if not more. There has to be a reason why a huge majority of women can't birth their babies without medical aid. Something is very wrong, and I don't think it is the women.

Please read these. This affects everyone. It is really important.
PS.Having experienced a natural homebirth with my son, I have to add this AWESOME blog post about birth not being a scary thing. It is a hospital birth story. READ IT! It is really good.:)
