Babywearing is a cause very near and dear to my heart because it is something that saved my sanity when Kate was a little girl.  With Calvin it has allowed me to mother two children under 2 at once and still get things done. Kate still loves being worn and Calvin asks for it when he needs me or knows that he needs to sleep.

Just in time for it Babywearing International put out a PSA.

What are you going to do to celebrate?

They dont complain. They dont ask why the doctor is doing this. They dont have families that care.  They dont have choices.

I find it sad that OBs are being taught on a robot how to treat a pregnant human being. Do you think that these docs are going to be ok with a women who wants to walk around, change positions, or ask questions? Of course not, they have not been trained for it… they have been trained to treat women and their fetuses like a piece of furniture.

The medicalization of birth brought some obvious negative things along with it, and the whole “forgetting that women are people and should be treated as such” thing must be one of them.

The future of childbirth is dark and cold. I fear for my daughter.

This is what we call true love.

Kate and Aidan have known each other since they were a few weeks old and their mothers have been inseperable ever since… so have they.
They saw each other at the park and ran to each other and hugged each other. They immediately held hands and started walking off without us.

I love the kiddos
