17-Oct-19A Tale of Home Birth, Part 3 (of 3).
06-Mar-16And now our children were safely born, we looked around us. The midwives were cleaning up.

Ohio.
13-Dec-15Back on the Road in America.
12-Dec-15Catherine and I set off yesterday for Ohio, in preparation for the birth of our first child. Catherine wants to do a home birth, but for that a home a bit more spacious and commodious than our cabin seems desirable, and in the end we decided on Ohio, where her family is.
