Goodbye Appointment: Cascade Midwives

Ewan and Darlene say goodbye to each other, and we say goodbye to Darlene. Disclaimer: Darlene had just delivered a baby a few hours earlier that morning and was a bit tired- but she still looks great with no makeup.

Yesterday was our final appointment at the Birthing Center. Now 6 weeks postpartum, we've been sent on our merry way. I'm pretty well healed, although the stitches have left some scar tissue and things where they shouldn't necessarily be. However, I've escaped infection free. I still have some tearing and other damage that will take longer to heal, but I've done pretty well.

Although we were disappointed not to have Darlene attend Ewan's birth we are very happy with the care we received there. If we ever decide we can afford to have another baby (and believe me, next time we save up first) I would definitely go back to Darlene and try for that home birth.

However, this is not really goodbye for us and Darlene. I will be shooting family portraits for them following the new year. I'm very much looking forward to that.

Oh, and although I told everyone that Ewan would be weighed yesterday at the appointment, he wasn't. Neither was I, actually. However, his 2 month visit with Dr Mark is coming up and he will certainly be weighed then. One thing is for sure: he's definitely grown!
