Dear friends-
I'm sitting in a living room in Ballard, snow is falling outside and I can hear the laboring woman downstairs. My midwifery partner is here too and we are talking about being able to care for the other two women who are in early labor as well. Whew.
Poor Felix. He's been inside except for a few potty breaks. Can't be helped.
I've had a bit of sleep but surely not enough. This is definitely my last year doing this crazy job. And I don't even go to that many births anymore. But damn, The people here are so sweet. I've been fed oatmeal for breakfast and homemade squash soup for lunch. There are two white cats and a black one who are very curious about the goings on.
I leave for SF on Friday to see the fam and meet Eden's new guy from S Africa. We have plans to see the new Avatar movie together on IMAX. Should be a spectacle. Apparently Eden is engaged. All I want is for her to stay in this country, not move to SA.
As the year ends, I wish for us all a peaceful transition from this year to the next. May we all be free from sorrow, distress and suffering.
Much love,
Beth

Oh, how I hope all the babies came easily and in a timely way so that all could be taken care of.
Merry Christmas, Beth. I surely hope that all is well with you and yours and no, Eden cannot move to SA.
I wish for Eden to stay here too, my whole mother’s heart wishing it for you. And I hope they are very happy. Exciting times.
