Just popped in to say hello.
I'm pretty impressed by what you're doing on the farm. I am a midwife in the UK and I know the excitement and anguish that accompanies any birth . My work is done in comfortable surroundings with the support of colleagues, you're out there doing it all! You must be superwoman. Your life sounds more than full, it's overflowing.
Good luck with subsequent births you sound like a great farmer and Mother.

Hi Meg
It's nice to hear from you.
I'm impressed with midwives I had seven of my own kids, and I think I could do it blindfolded if I had to now My last one took five minutes from start to finish, including placenta. And I was chatting on the phone with the dentist at the same time. He was stunned, to say the least......"You're doing WHAT right now?????"....."Pushing. Nope, sorry. Looking at my new son."
My first one was 36 1/2 hours of agony , and I only had one that was breech.
I wish I had help here sometimes. It seems that everything happens when the boss is gone away on a vacation, or something It's that "Murphy" fellow hard at work there, I think...
I'm very happy to meet you, anyway. I'm looking forward to speaking to you some time.

nice to hear from you. I can only post occasionally as I only have acess to the computer whilst at work. Monday and Tuesday nights (GMT) are the best times to have a chat.
I hope you tell all your friends and children about how straight forward birth can be, as there is a lot of fear surrounding this natural process. I've been lucky to have two children. The first by caesarean and the second a quick natural birth. I would have loved more but my partner finds children hard work. He loves the ones we have but can't imagine wanting more. I do love him a lot, so some comprimises have to be made
Do drop in if you have a moment in your busy shedule as I love to hear about your adventures (feel quite jealous really).

Sorry, this sounds rather flippant now I've re-read it and checked out your space. I'm  you're having a hard time at the moment.
I wish you well and hope to hear that things are getting easier for you really soon.
Hi Meg!
Things are getting a bit better now. My wayward daughter has returned home, and life goes on.
Sharing birth stories can be fun, actually. And birthing stories of the   and pigs are fun, too.
I share anytime anyone will listen.
I'm really happy to get to know you. I look forward to chatting another time, too.

back at work. Factory job tonight, fairly busy though nothing like the midwifery. Helped a woman birth a lovely baby on Friday. It was a good night
Sorry to hear that you've been I'd like to send you and  and hope that the hurt fades real soon. You're doing a fantastic job bringing up a family and working so hard. You don't need a weight around your ankle when you're swimming hard!
Lots of love
I've had to deal with a bit of death around here in the past three days.
I was forced to butcher one of my favorite sheep, becasue she got bloat, and was suffering. Then there was an order for two more sheep, and they had to be done this morning.
I know it's a fair part of having animals, but I wish it would have been next week, instead of right now. I couldn't look when the bullet went into the sheep this morning. I had to turn my head. It was a little too much for me.
I have my 17 year old, blind son home today. He has a terrible cold, and has kindly passed it on to me and three other children. The other three kids aren't affected enough that they have to stay home, thank goodness
I hope to catch you on line soon.
Later
Karen

How dreadful that you have to kill animals that you care for - even if in kindness. You must have great strength of character!
Sorry to hear the children are . It adds to your burden of care. I hope you are able to care for yourself as well as the others. Does your 17yr old usually live elsewhere? My two are still primary school age so not much trouble yet. I'm sure I'll know it when they're teenagers
David is blind. He was a conjoined twin, and is affected by a are syndrome as well.
He has always lived at home, and I do not anticipate him moving out soon. He has so many special needs, and has spent a great deal of his young life in hospital.
He is not affected by the mental retardation aspect that so many other kids are, so that is a blessing.
