So, after careful consideration, Justin and I both agree that we really want to do this. While midwives are at least recognized and legislated in Alberta (unlike Newfoundland!), they are in no way funded by the government health plan or our insurance, so this cost is totally on us. When all is said and done, this is going to cost between $3200 and $3500, depending on if we decide to have a water birth or not.
So we started thinking, what better way to include all of our friends and family in this event, than to let them pay for it? Seriously though, any contributions would be a great help. I mean, how many onesies and bottles of baby lotion does a baby really need? So forego the baby gifts, and instead, know that you are a part of one of the biggest events in our lives.

"staying at home with Maddy is WAY more fun" ... well, you figgured that one out faster than i did :-)
from what i know of it (which admittedly is not much) the 'water birth' idea seems pretentious, but you know best
from what i DO know, an introduction (at least) to pranhayama yoga (breathing yoga) is useful
you can count me in babe, be well.
