Good News! I got in with the midwife I was hoping for. She is the one that is in practice with one other midwife and a couple OBGYNs. I will see both midwives, but that is so much better than rotating through five or six doctors. And if I would develop complications I would simply see one of the OBGYNs within the same practice. And being that they are in practice with midwives, I imagine they have a greater respect for what midwives do and believe as far as birth being instinctual and natural. I'm very pleased. I will be sending Dr. Powell a thank you card for all that she has done for us and the support she gave us before IVF.

And if you're up for a good scandal... read this... There is a longer story, but basically John Tully, the other photo staffer at the paper, had his 1st Amendment right challenged by Dow Corning security. While remaining on public property he was detained by Dow Corning Security who called the Midland police. There are a lot of details not published in the article. They claimed it was a Homeland Security issue. Its funny though, because they have an "Overlook Park" over looking the plant. And John was on public property. Anyone could have seen what John was taking pictures of. They just didn't want the public to see the fire... they are usually able to sweep everything under their corporate rug. Corporate America does not get to control the press. This is just a snippet of what happened and how we feel about it... but read through the comments. Its always interesting to see what people have to say about stuff like this.
