Two things you need to know before I start this story. One, when I did my New England trip early last month, I rented a car because I was trying to visit a ton of people. No kidding – I spent at least one night each in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts! It was fun to see everyone though. One reason I hate renting cars is the added stress of being in possession of something that costs more than I…

So being the organized list-maker I am, I am trying to get an idea of what I still need to do.

They are moving all their current midwives’ patients to the practice’s owner, a male OB-GYN. Argh! Not good. :-( I am over 30 weeks along and to be honest, the last thing I want to do is change doctors again. I moved to this practice when I was 16 weeks along for two reasons – 1)…
