The kids are waiting for Christmas…Randy and I are waiting for this baby. Sam and Ariel are aware of the baby, as our house is shaping up to make room for one more. Christmas is clearly more of a priority as it involves cousins and presents 🙂
I reviewed my plan with my doctor. One more round with natural childbirth. Its not something everyone needs to do. It is something I need to do. I can’t explain why..its just that as children grow, I have less and less control over their safety and I know I can do this. Plus, I don’t respond that well to substances…examples abound…trying to swim across a lake while drinking…actually not going to name several examples. Just not great for me to mess with whatever goes on naturally in my brain.
Also, I tried to find a way to donate the cord blood. Minnesota and Wisconsin don’t do this. http://marrow.org/Support-the-Cause/Donate-cord-blood/How-to-donate-cord-blood/Participating-hospitals/ So, many other states…what is the deal?!
Seriously, what a waste…and based on what I read Minnesota is using cord blood donations from other states, but is not collecting here.
I’m going to try calling the U of MN. According to this article from 2013, they were beginning to accept donations http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/232290401.html
Anyway. I am really scattered today. Resolutions will have to wait.
