Several weeks ago now – but still noteworthy, Baby and I nipped down South to Christchurch – for another conference. This time – the National Homebirth.

Suffice to say the three days was as cozy as a good wrapping from an old, feels-right blanket.
But the stranger half was being a single-baby mama again.

A sweet, in-depth and luxurious task, I found.
A moment to enjoy looking in only one direction again.
Life’s a whirlwind, otherwise.
But, thankfully, one in which the singular parts are each as beautiful as the whole effect.
. . .and for the first time, upon arriving home I was greeted not with “Mama!”, but “Bebe!”. Clearly the new hierarchy is well established.
Thanks to the Manawatu Homebirth Association for sponsoring my whole trip! You can read my report on the conference on their blog.
Hi Mianh, how funny that your post is about the Homebirth conference and I wanted to come and write how much I enjoyed meeting you there………. I thought that I would also let you know that I have been accepted on the midwifery degree here in Christchurch starting Feb. I am of course beyond excited!!! I have just finished my pre-health science course and today am starting my 2 month long holiday,YAY! I am looking forward to spending lot’s of quality time with my children and relaxing before next year. Anyway just wanted to let you know, say hi and also to thank your for your kind words of encouragement. I hope that all is well for you and your lovely family and that you all have a wonderful Chritmas, Much Love and Blessings Julie XXXX
