Childbirth. A beautiful and terrible act. For pain and suffering to go hand in hand with bliss and rejoicing is nothing short of a miracle and that, of course, is exactly what birth is. We just welcomed our third son into the family and while I’ve not made time for blogging since the first of this year, writing is how I come to terms with things and so I’m writing again. Writing and sharing the birth story of our little […]

But, from the first time we did blood work, I was trying to prepare myself for that possibility. Monday I called my midwife again and talked to her about ICP some more.
