Vacation Week

The week slipped by with gardening and a visit by my oldest son and his pregnant wife, the modern dancer/Pilates instructor. She is wonderfully fit, still running at 7 months, though more slowly.
She has determined on a home birth, to the horror of her parents. I was equally determined at her age. I got my home birth for one out of the three. Medical considerations may show up for her as well at the last minute, and they are only 2 blocks from a hospital. If they end up there, the work to avoid the hospital sends a message to the health professionals to limit their interference. The preparations for the home will allow her to leave as soon as possible, as I did.
