Justin and I just got back from meeting with our new midwife. She was spectacular!

when i was pregnant with dahlia i went with a random doctor i chose which turned out to be not a good fit. super quick appointments and i didnt feel understood or listened to at all. one of the midwives on her staff ended up delivering dahlia and i was grateful for that, but overall i didnt like the experience with going with a doctor. 

When i became pregnant with valen we had moved to vancouver so i needed to find a different doctor than before. i heard of a great midwifery from a few different friends and checked it out. they were so fabulous.  everyone in the office was so kind and you really felt they cared about your experience and what you wanted personally. i really enjoiyed going with them. 

but this midwfie is even more what i would have wanted. her office is in her home and this is her passion. she loves helping women having an enjoyable experience all through the process.  not that other people dont have that same idea, but this midwife seems to be an amazing woman and we are both glad to have found her. i think i am more nervous this time around than with my other two pregnancies, but at the same, feel more prepared and in better hands!

we did not get to hear the heartbeat today. we tried to find it, but she said until about 12 weeks it is hard to hear. i was bummed about that, but oh well, we will hear it soon!
