This morning I had a midwife appointment, and our baby was playing with the heart beat monitor... it was so fricken neat!! The midwife placed the monitor wand on my belly and our baby kicked/pushed it! Then she would put the monitor wand in a different spot, and we would hear the beat... then the baby would kick the monitor wand again! This happened about 3 times. It was rad. The little one is developing a personality.
Also, all day the baby has been dancing, running from the cops again, doing laps in the hamster cage, dirt twirling, practicing yoga, or whatever it is babies do in the womb. This is the first day I have felt movement all day. And I'll tell you all... it's kind of exhausting me. I feel starved and tired.

I just checked out unassisted/home birthing...whoa. It's amazing how removed I am from all that life! In 23 years I've never seen a birth (aside from the 15 second clip they show us in high school sex-ed). The way some of those births looked so natural and communal, it seems strange that it's not a part of my world at all. Thank god for youtube. Thank god I know you two who are doing something so real and alive...Amanda you're amazing, I can't wait to see you again. And I am so excited for you!
