First Exam

So Melissa and I decided we wanted to go the route of having a midwife and avoiding the hospitals as much as possible. Doing it the traditional way robs you of so much of what giving birth is about when you add all he drugs and doctors into the mix (no offense dear). So we had our first visit at the Midwife Center on Friday the 20th of September. It's such a loving and warm environment and they have 4 top of the line birthing jacuzzis and the people there speak with such a soft inviting tone. Part of the decision was from watching the movie "The Business of Being Born." Maybe not your typical Friday night date movie but if you're considering having kids you should check it out.

From what we learned at the exam everything looks great so far and Melissa even got a great look at her cervix. That's really it for now, the baby's not really much to look at yet but soon we'll be able to hear the heartbeat.

We already have first names picked out but were looking for some middle names, any suggestions?
