Beautiful Midwest Midwifery Babies

Today we had the opportunity to hang out with three other new moms: Amy Klobucher(Amy's good friend), Laura (a client of Amy's), and Kathleen (Amy's co-worker). Amy's baby Caden (left) is 8 months olds, Laura's baby Breck is 6 months old, and Will is 18 hours younger than Benjamin. We had a great time talking about motherhood, listening to the squeals, cries, and coos of our babies, and occasionally getting a bite of lunch :) Aren't they all such beautiful babies? They were all delivered through Amy's practice, Midwest Midwifery, and were attended by Certified Nurse Midwives. To find out more about midwives and the excellent benefits of seeing one, check out www.midwife.org or www.midwestmidwifery.com.
After our play date, Benjamin and I attended an event at Midwest Midwifery, an opportunity for patients to meet all the nurse-midwives who work in our practice. We have recently grown from 4 midwives to 9 and have increased our patient volume by 10% each month for the last 5 months. We're really growing! It is an exciting time for our practice and midwifery. I am thankful to be a part of such an excellent practice. We have such great outcomes for moms and babies, and have highly satisfied clients. Its a lot of fun! I can't say that I am looking forward to returning to work, but I love what I do and the people that I work with. I will miss Benjamin immensely and can't imagine being away from him...I get teary-eyed just thinking about it!
We are busy preparing for our Cape Cod trip and leave on Thursday. We can't wait to stick our toes in the beautiful salt water and the opportunity to spend time with the Bassett side of the family! More to come later...
