Well, I'm getting bigger by the minute..or so it feels. This is 28 weeks and the countdown has definitely begun. I love feeling the little guy roll around in there, but I'm more ready to meet him! I'll probably want to stick him back inside when I endure the first few weeks of sleepless nights....We're learning more and more at our Bradley classes. During last week's class, Mike leaned over and said, "we should have a home birth." Ok, so that probably won't happen...but we're just learning a LOT about the medical system that is really messed up. Let me know if you want more details...I could go on for a while. We're not turning completely granola--we realize God can and does use medicine for a lot of good things. Unfortunately, the system in the US has been corrupted and doesn't know how to turn back; they're way too obsessed with earning the extra dollar. Sad. I'll give you a stat to think about...
The US has all of these 'great' interventions for lowering the infant mortality rate (drugs, c-sections, running lots of tests, etc.)........but...we're still one of the HIGHEST amongst all industrialized countries. Just makes ya think...
wait, isn't low a good thing? You don't want to have a high rate right?
