TV Stars

So, it seems we are famous (at least for a morning)!

Our dear friend and our incredible midwife, Julie Cross, asked if we would be open to an interview with the local TV station about her midwife unit. They have delivered over 22,000 babies in the pat 40 years. Wow. Now, that's pretty incredible.

We jumped at the chance to rave about our positive birth experiences at HCMC Hospital in Minneapolis. And, to be honest, we thought the kids would get a kick out of seeing themselves on the TV (They did! Ruby kept trying to kiss the television and Kai could not stop grinning). As many of you know, Julie helped to deliver both Ruby June and Kai and I can't even begin to tell you (since it would be the longest post ever) how wonderful it is to have an incredibly close friend be the one to help your catch your baby. It has been one of the greatest gifts of my motherhood to enter into this adventure with such positive experiences.

Here you can see me talk a bit about it- and you can see my beautiful kids and smashingly handsome hubbie. Oh, you could also make fun of how much I use my hands when I talk (seriously folks, do I always do that?).

It might seem that you are waiting to watch the weather when you click on the link, but just wait until the ad is over, and you'll see the link about the HCMC Midwives celebrating 40 years of service.

(Sidenote: I have been meaning for now 18 months to write about Ruby June's birth- maybe this will actually get me to do it! Stay tuned- )
