New OB

I've never really trusted much medication to work very well. So, I've been somewhat partial to the idea of unmedicated birthing. After reading a couple books on gentle birthing and watching the documentary "The Business of Being Born," I've come to desire a natural birth even more.

The health insurance that we just got through Steve's work, United Healthcare, gives some more freedom in choosing doctors and hospitals than our current/previous insurance, Kaiser Permanente. So after some research online, I've made an appointment in January with the Nurse-Midwives at Dimensions Ob/Gyn in Glenridge Shopping Center in Lanham. This means that I will also be giving birth at Prince George's Medical Center's in-hospital birthing center. It appears that this hospital has a pretty low rate of complications during childbirth.

And well, since everyone else seems to have put snowy photos on their blogs, here are ours:

That looks so fun :) Good luck with the new doctor's office.

Good snow pictures. We had a big snow like that a month or so before Stephen was born. Make sure you let having medication be an option and don't be disappointed if your resort to that.
